If you have the complete warranty on you Axim then everything is safe They say that that retail value of the cradle is as much as 90 dollars - that is bogus, Dell sells them cheaper than that. I have a Belkin car/PC charger that works well, but i have never hear of these guys.

See if you can at least find a website for the company that is supposed to be making these and see what information they will send you if you ask them questions.

Three things I see in that add:

1- the adaptor is not included, so it's sync only unless you buy a spare adapter
2- there is no slot for charging a spare battery
3- I don't see any connector in the picture, only a hole where the connector should be. that's strage.

I would ask a few questions to the vendor before buying anything. On the other hand, it can't be worse than buying a sync cable. Am I wrong?

Just curious, the guy has 98.8 of feedback on over 55,000 transaction, and you consider this bad feedback?

Have you ever sold stuff through eBay? Not only is it impossible to p^lease everybody, but I can tell you some people live to find a way to give you negative feedback

I only sold a few things, but I have seen people using the feedback as a blackmail tool. I even told one buyer to go F@#$K himself because he kept threatening me with a negative feedback unless i changed the conditions of the sale. You have to be careful about those things.

Anyway, I personally think his feedback loks pretty good, considering the huge amount of transaction. I'd love to get a new cradle, mine broke a while ago, but I'll wait and see.

I mean there doesn't seem to be a connector at the bottom. It may just be a bad picture, though.

Hey, Storino!

So did you get your cradle yet? I was wondering what your experience with it so far and did it come with power adapter or only USB cable.
Cheers,

netscorer.

I have seen one listed last week with the d.c. adapter, but it was only a 1000 mA, so I am nor sure if it's worth it.
