Product Description

Display, sync, and recharge your BlackBerry smartphone in the office or at home with the help of the BlackBerry desktop Charging Pod. Conveniently position your handheld for speakerphone calls, watching movies, or listening to music - while winding a charger behind the Charging Pod to re-power and/or a data cable to your handheld's USB port for syncing. The charger includes two LED 2-colour indicators - through the BlackBerry logo on the front of the Pod and on its interior. Ultimate convenience is complemented by the Charging Pod's chrome design, which skilfully emphasizes the accents on your BlackBerry smartphone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fix to a broken recharger, October 30, 2008

i like this product...for the most part
:( the front blackberry symbol is REALLY bright, but after a few days, i got used to it
:( I need to take off my silicone case to recharge
:) My cord recharger wouldn't recharge if inserted directly to the phone, but if I plug it into the recharging pod it works again. Something about the electric current not flowing properly to the blackberry... I have seen this problem a lot on the discussion boards.

3.0 out of 5 stars Convenient, October 24, 2008

This unit works well for the office. I place it just beside by monitor so I can see any incoming calls. The BB fits in this unit easily and when you need to run to a meeting it lifts out in a snap. The only thing about this unit I don't like is the fact that the light does not change colors indicating that it is charging or turn off when charging is complete. Some of the product descriptions lead you to believe it changes colors. IT DOES NOT. Regardless this unit does make it more convenient to have your BB sitting up for easy viewing then laying on your desk while you are pouring sweat over the days agenda. Or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job but not quite as described on blackberry.com, October 16, 2008

As others have said, this Pod does not have a two color led to show when your berry is charged. The logo on the front of the pod and the strip under the metal connections inside the pod turn white when plugged into the wall. Berry or no berry, the lights are on. The pod is meant to connect to the wall charger. You are free to connect a usb cable from your pc directly to your berry if you want to sync. Bottom line: it charges, looks pretty darn good, and feels like a hefty well made accessory.
