Looks ok, i would ideally want a cradle that has the charging port built in so no wires are hanging out, im sure iv seen one on ebay, but just had a look and couldnt locate it

me too..but the problem with the charging port beneath would be.. that you cant use the N900 in potrait-mode :-)

i my opinion that is one grave design-fault from nokia

How much can you use it in portrait mode anyway when it faces the right way?

This cradle is sort of useless and this has been discussed before. Mods please merge with this thread:

I got this so that i can just charge one battery whilst I use the other and then swap them over. Means my phone never goes on charge (also less plugging in of cables and thus reducing the risk of breaking the port)

looks interesting.. how does your back-cover hold up ?
on my old phone (N95) i had to replace the cover 3 times over the period of 2 years because every now and then when i was switching the battery some parts of the cover broke (fixations)

That was the one thing i was worried about. I remove it atleast once a day, and thats since beginning of march when i got the phone (total= 4 1/2 months).

The back cover got easier to get off after say the first month, from then it seems about the same and nothing is broke.

I dont worry about it anymore as it seems to be holding up well, and i think it will last the 7 1/2 months ive got left on the contract.
