Spent a lot of time searching the web for this product for The Storm.
I had a similar unit for my World Edition BB, but the cradle never seemed to charge the phone fully. Storm users will know what a battery hog their unit is, so having a backup charged and ready to go is important if
you are a Crackberry Addict like me. Some users may not like the fact that the cradle charger is a small cable and not an integral part of the base, but at [...] bucks this unit gets my vote.

Not bad for the money but could have been great. The problem is the charger will only fit the unit and not the blackberry storm directly so could have been useful both places. Also the viewing angle is not as shown and the blackberry is not at a good angle to leave in the base while on the desk as it is hard to see. Useful to charge the second battery however. Also be aware that you can not charge the Storm from the AC charger but only via USB connection to your computer. The charger only charges the extra battery.

I received the product sooner than expected. Which was the only good experience I have had with this product.
There was no manual with the product and the 2nd battery charger is not charging at all which was the main reason I purchased the desktop charger.

I was excited to find this product which was a sync cradle as well as a charger for our Blackberry Storms (9530 models) Unfortunately, I have discovered that this charger does not charge our storms. I have tried it on both of our units, to no avail. The little green light is on indicating that there is power to the unit, but I have tried every which way to plug the charger nib in and just cannot get any juice to either phone. It might work on a separate extra battery which we don't have, but right now it is only good for gathering dust. I wish I had kept the packaging and packing slip, so I could send it back. I was trying to avoid spending another arm and a leg to buy the Verizon products, but am now going to have to do that anyway. I should have just spent the extra money and bought a unit directly fron Verizon to start with. Maybe I just got a bad unit?

It works great, the charge is quick and it allows me to always have an extra battery at hand - since my son is always forgetting to charge his blackberry he is always borrowing one of my batteries.

Works fine and the added space to keep an extra battery charged is nice. However, it is too bad that you have to remove any protective skin or covering in order to fit the BB into the cradle.

this cradle will charge a spare battery for your storm, but it is NOT a drop in charging cradle like the oem version. You need to attach the charging cord from the base to your phone every time you put it down. It does shows this in the picture, but I didn't notice it. I want a cradle that you just place the phone into to charge, so mine is going back.

I bought this product so I could keep my phone on my desk and easily charge and use the USB data feature. Does not work at all. Save yourself a headache and don't buy from this seller.

Misled into thinking my storm could be placed in the cradle and it would automatically start to charge, not the case, wire has to be plugged into the phone.
Charging wire worked only one day then nothing. Since it was not expensive I threw it away.
