I purchased 2, use both daily
First, this item is only good for the original Storm I, so there probably won't be many more of these sold. However, I purchased 2 of them, one for home and another for work. I use them both daily.

Prior to purchasing the charger/sync pods I had purchased an extended battery that lasted so long it never came close to running out of juice during the day, no matter what I used my Blackberry for. Unfortunately, the "door" for the back of the Storm that was included with the battery was so flimsy that it didn't last very long -- maybe 6 months or so. My only option was to purchase another extended battery (which I didn't need) just to get another flimsy door. I decided instead to reinsert my original (non-extended) battery with original (non-flimsy) door and get the 2 pods for easy recharge.

I work in IT so the one at work just sits there at my desk. I keep the one at home on my nightstand by my alarm clock. So now, I keep my Storm easily recharged by inserting the phone into the pods when not in use. And I keep it in "bedside" (or "clock") mode so I have a nice clock to look at. At home I have a backup alarm (which I was using it for already). I can also activate the photo "slide" feature and have my Blackberry display my photos like one of those electronic picture frames. And best of all, the battery stays charged as if I have an extended battery just as conveniently.

The only negative is that I must carry an extra charger for the car, but that's not really a fault of the pod, of course.

The very nice design and convenience of this pod or dock is well-worth the small cost for the unit. You do have to purchase an additional wall charger for it (one doesn't come with the pod). This is a little inconvenient, but they are fairly easy to find and also super-inexpensive. Just make sure you buy an *actual* charger for the Storm and not a knock-off. I tried the knock-offs and they seemed to mess up the electronics in the Blackberry.

its great and great service
this product is great and the shipping was fast and convenient...i had a question and called and i got a quick response from IBD electronics and they were veeerry freindly..than you

Exactly what I expected....
I received this product quickly! And in perfect condition. It does not come with the charger cable but is plugged into your current one. My husband likes that he no longer has to hunt for the cord that has fallen behind the dresser. We have had 2 Blackberries that the charge/sync port has failed. I believe this will minimize the wear and tear on that port. I plan on ordering one for my Storm 2!

Love this cradle, loses star for no USB cable!
Great item, well constructed, but theres no USB cable! Kind of a ripoff, come on RIM...

Perfect charger!
I wanted a charger for my Blackberry Storm and came across this one. It's just as described and works wonderfully! As long as you read the description and understand that it doesn't come with a power cord and doesn't fit the Storm II, you're in good shape. I like the small night light built-in on the back to let you know that it's getting power. Great product and an even better price.
