m130 serial cradle
Can't review this as I ordered a serial connection instead od a USB connection The company has been a tremendous help to me and has sent me a replacement USB one free of charge

Fussy- poor design
The cradle is very finicky. The fit is not very tight and I have to press down on the top of the palm pilot to ensure the contacts are touching. Plus, it has it's own power plug AND the USB connection. I'd recommend the USB cable instead. It connects snugly, easily and is only one thing to plug in, plus very reliable long term. Charges fast too. This cradle just fell short all the way around.

cradle not compatible with tungsten !!!!
The fact the cradle was listed as compatible, but was not was a great disapointment for me. I shop at amazon often and have had good results till now. Maybe it would be better to go a retail store to purchase these types items.

Not compatible with Tungsten E!
I can't comment on the quality of the cradle but I have one comment. I ordered the cradle as it was listed as an accessory for the Tungsten E. However, it does not fit into the cradle and Palm doesn't seem to currently produce one compatible with it. Just want to warn others so you don't have the hassle of having to send it back.

No problems--works as advertised
I bought this extra cradle for my M515 to have at the office. It works just as I needed it too--no problems at all. I needed to sync with both home and office computers, not just a charging cradle. The only downside it that I have to continually take the PDA out of it's protective carry case to put it in the cradle--at home and office. It sure would be great if there was a cord that could hook up to it without removal.
