1.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, cheap construction, March 24, 2006

As soon as I got this item out of its packaging, the low-quality construction was obvious. I briefly considered sending it back, but for the money, it's not worth the trouble. I sync via bluetooth, so I am only using the charging feature. The cable doesn't plug especially well into my Treo650, but it does the job.

I am expecting the connectors to break fairly quickly. When that happens I'll look for a higher quality charger.

If I had it to do over again, I'd have spent more money to get a higher quality item.

Update: The Treo end of the connector broke all of three days after I received it. Unbelievable. I replaced it with a pair of chargers (car and home) from Verizon. More bulk, more cost, but I bet they will last more than three days.

If you own a Treo 650 there are three accessories considered to be essential -- a data sync cable, a wall charger and a vehicle charger -- all of which are included in this simple and inexpensive package.

While the first two are included when you purchase the phone, you will have to spend extra for the vehicle charger anyway. So for less than that will cost you in most cases, you can get another sync cable and wall charger to carry around in your laptop case.

However, the biggest advantage other than the low cost of this neatly packaged solution is the portability feature of being able to use the same USB sync cable to plug into the electrical outlet and cigarette lighter attachments. One cord is always better than three when you're on the go and need to travel light.

One thing that absolutely drives me crazy about the Treo 650 is the challenge of connecting the charger/synch cable to the phone. It must be noted this is a design issue with the phone itself, not the cable. As long as you're gentle and don't try to force it in, you'll be OK. (Hey palmOne ... are you listening?)

Nothing fancy here, just a versatile, low-cost solution aimed at keeping your trusty Treo 650 powered and synced up whether you're in the car, in the office, or out of town in unfamiliar surroundings. Nice.

1.0 out of 5 stars The thought is nice, but product quality is poor, July 8, 2005

The idea of less cables is great, the price fabulous. However, I went through two cords trying to get good contact with my phone. It rarely would signal it was charging, and would lose contact soonafter so I would be driving with both hands on the phone trying to initiate the charge. I felt as if I was going to ruin my phone by jamming it in harder or at a different angle. Not worth it! I am returning both cables and just paid the bigger bucks to purchase two separate cords from the Sprint store itself. (These new cords worked perfectly)
