Deluxe HTC HD2 Desktop Charging Cradle

31st December 2011

I've been using my replacement desktop stand for two weeks now. If you read my previous review immediately below you will see that I bought two of these when I bought my HD2 over a year ago. This replacement for the one that died arrived promptly and works great. I find it very useful to have a fast mains charger, USB PC sync cable and speakers connected all the time. Note it will charge from the PC sync if the mains is not connected which may be useful to you but obviously takes longer. This is a pleasing unit to look at with glossy piano black. You can use the phone when in the dock for everything you would normally do although obviously you need speakers connected to year anything when the phone is in the dock - note that the alarm still sounds anyway which is great as my second cradle is on my bedside table as my clock/alarm at night. Some people have said that the blue LED on the front is too bright but I sleep next to this every night and have never noticed. I rather like the wide blue LED but then I also have the phone screen on the home page showing the time constantly. I guess some people need to have pitch dark but I'm not one of them. As an aside I also have the active Brodit mount in my car so I am never far away from a rapid charge, hence I have never needed a second battery which this desktop cradle will also rapid charge for you. I hope this and my previous review helps you and I again stress that this is still the best desktop cradle/charger available for the HTC HD2 (I do check regularly) despite the need for you to be careful when plugging in and removing the micro USB sync cable which is provided.
