5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect bedside manners, November 23, 2008

I bought this charging pod to use as a bedside stand for my new BlackBerry Bold. I'd read online that some didn't like it because when the Bold is in the pod it can easily tip.

In my usage I have not had any problems with the base tumbling. There's a grippy rubber bottom to the stand that further keeps it from moving around when knocked.

Could you inadvertently knock over your Bold while it's in this stand? Absolutely. The bold sticks up about 4 to 6" so it becomes an easier target. That's going to be an issue with any charging stand of this type.

What's cool (and I didn't expect) is there's a white light at the back of this pod so you can find it in the dark (useful if used as bedside charger stand) to re-cradle your BlackBerry Bold.

As the description say's, this is a charging pod only - you'll need to supply your own charger (and BlackBerry Bold).

The fit is perfect. Drop your Bold. It charges. Enough said.

I'm buying another for my office.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good charger, but doesn't work with skin, December 16, 2008

I like the charge pod. I had the same idea of wanting to have it bedside to charge overnight. Having the Bold in the flip clock mode reminds me of my old clock radio. Anyway, the charger works, but not if you have a skin on your Blackberry. The skin has cutouts for everything else, why not for the charger? I'm tempted to make some cuts in the skin to see if I can get it to work. May just resign to taking the skin off at night. Overall, like the product, just wish it worked with the skin on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical blackberry desk charger, November 23, 2008

It is a very convenient and practical accessory, specially because the blackberry bold 9000 has a very low battery charge capacity. It keeps your cellphone charging while working at the office, so you don't get into out of battery status. It is great.
