2.0 out of 5 stars WRONG DESCRIPTION, January 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Nokia Compact Desktop Charging Stand for Nokia 8260 Phones (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The product listed is NOT a dual charger...I ordered it and it took over a month to actually receive the product and it is a single charger. After more research, I believe that the dual charger is not yet available for the 8260, but that the 8290 dual exists. And keep in mind that this does NOT include the AC cord...you are to use the one that came with the phone or purchase an additional power cord for the charger.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Stand, April 9, 2001

This review is from: Nokia Compact Desktop Charging Stand for Nokia 8260 Phones (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I recently bought a Nokia 8260 and this stand to store the phone while not in use. It makes it very easy to charge the phone: it is easier to drop the phone in the stand when I get home and pick it up when I leave. I use it with the Rapid Charger that came with the phone. Contrary to what some reviewers write, the cable fits very well. However make sure you connect the correct side: the side of the cable that goes in the adapter has a plastic 'bayonet' to prevent it from being disconnected; if you try to make this side fit in the stand it fits poorly indeed.

Other comments were that the charger is not included and that there is no space to charge a second battery. This is true, but clearly indicated in the product information, and I don't understand the low reviews. This is a well-designed accessory that does what it is designed for very well!

2.0 out of 5 stars True, not the most useful accessory but....., March 2, 2001

I must agree that this charger stand is not the most useful accessory for this phone. I must say however, Nokia does not claim this is a two-slot charger. Also,it is important to note that the plug DOES fit into the stand albeit - snugly. Make sure that the plug going into the stand is the right end - notice that the transformer has a "wing" shaped slot for the larger end of the cord. If you try to put the wrong side - the "wing" shaped end-into the charger it will not fit. This stand is not so useful because the charger plug is so simple to begin with. Save your money and buy a buy a case for this phone instead - it scratches too easily.
