The product descriptions come from the manufacturer. The reviews come from actual normal people (not that Diana is normal) who try these things out at home.
The cradles do seem to be a little fussy. I know I had a Seidio Innodock for my 650 that worked fine. When I got the 700 it worked for a while and then stopped. Not only would it not sync, inserting my Treo generally resulted in my computer getting a message "your usb device was not properly installed" blah blah blah. Fortunately, I never throw anything away, and pulled it out when I got my Centro to see if it would fit. It charged and sync'd like new. (I tried, and it still wouldn't work with the 700!) So your Palm cradle *might* sync your Centro while Diana's wouldn't. Ralph Alvy wrote: > I currently have the standard Palm Cradle Kit that includes a compartment for > charging a spare battery.
