All this product is is a base station for your charger, nothing more. I bought this because I was sick of keeping my charger plugged into an outlet and having to plug my Blackberry in every night and leave it on the floor. This device is very basic. Your normal charging cord plugs into the back. Your Blackberry slips into the base of the charging pod and stands upright. There are two metal squares on the back of your Tour that connect to the two metal prongs you see on the inside of this charging pod, so you don't have to deal with plugging anything into the side of your Tour. The base is very sturdy, and once your Blackberry is in it, it is not going to fall over or move around a lot.

I keep mine sitting on the end of my desk with the cord hanging behind the desk so you can't see it. I have my Blackberry set to "Bedside Mode," so when I put it into this base, it automatically turns off the keypad and dims the LCD screen, and displays the clock. You can also set up bedside mode to cut off certain alerts. For instance, mine is set to allow incoming calls to ring, but it won't send me a tone alert when I get an email or SMS. I actually used this charging pod in place of my old alarm clock and no longer use an alarm clock, since I can see the clock on my Blackberry from my bed when it is sitting in the charger.

The only problem with this charger, is that you can't use any kind of case on your Blackberry. It won't fit in the charging pod, and most cases cover up the metal charging connectors on the back of the device anyway. If your case easily slips on and off, it might work if you don't find that too much of a hassle. As for me, I love being able to just drop my phone into the base station at night and pick it up in the morning.

Not used to plug to computers, but the look is flawless. It's delicate, but it serves its purpose! Definitely 5 stars!

Just upgraded my old BB to a BB 9650 Bold. I love the phone and then I found these "pods" online! What a great idea! This is my new favorite product! No more plugging and unplugging to charge! Just drop your BB in the Pod and you are ready to roll. The new BB also defaults to an analog clock with alarm while charging. Anyway this thing works fine on a BB 9650 so I wanted to help anyone else trying to find a pod for their BB 9650.
