It may be that it is tight, as the PDair case I bought for my Hermes was at first, I think the touch screen will be slightly less responsive than it was with a cover over it, even more so if you have the screen protector fitted as well.

Hi guys new to the forum. Just been looking around and have seen that two ORA cradles for the Cruise have popped up on Expansys, one w/ 2nd battery charger and one w/out. Stock status is currently showing as On request does any one know when expansys and other companies are getting these in regular stock?

Hi SabreHunter and welcome to 4WM

The best thing to do regarding the 'order on request' is to email them and ask how long it will take to be sent from the stockist to you, as Expansys states 'This product is not a stocked item and will be ordered from the distributor when you place an order.' it looks at the moment that they are not going to stock it, but be careful with Expansys they can make you wait a while when products are not in stock because they will have a backlog of orders and you will be last on the list!

Hi,

Not sure if this is allowed and want to be as open as possible but we have the two cruise cradles sold by expansys in stock

HTC Touch Cruise USB Cradle Desk Sync Charger, PDA USB Cradle Desktop Sync Charger

HTC Touch Dual USB Cradle Desk Sync Charger + 2nd battery charging slot, PDA USB Cradle Desktop Sync Charger

Administrators/Mods please let me know if passing this info on myself (i.e. the seller) is allowed. If not please let me know if there is an alternative way of passing on relevant information.

Thanks

Hi Chris and welcome.

We do have a no spam policy but there is no harm in your post, it gives an answer to a question so no problem, especially if us mods get a nice discount!

As a matter of interest have you got anything coming up for the Orbit 2?

Hi Chris, welcome from me also.

To expand on Boz's post, take a look at the press releases section of the forum. That is an appropriate place for you to announce that product X is now in stock. Also there's a Hot Deals, Specials and Freebies section where you can post any offers or discounts. Please do take into account that members browse the forum on mobile phones so keep images modest in size.

If it is in an appropriate part of the forum, relevant to Windows Mobile and not too frequent then straightforward honest advertising of newly arrived items and special offers is welcome. Answering a request from a member is also good.
If you aren't sure where to post, then make your best guess and a mod will move posts if needed.

I finally received my desktop cradle as per Boz's post earlier in this thread (Post #7, page 1). The delay was through no fault of the supplier who dispatched very quickly. The cradle comes with two sylii, a charger, a lanyard AND a screen-protector so, in terms of value for money it is outstanding.

As for the cradle, well, it does the job. It's perhaps not the last word in style but it holds the device at the required angle, allows me to charge and synch at the same time and is a good fit. It also has a stylus holder built in, at the bottom of which is a blue LED. One of the two supplied stylii is a clear plastic one. Place this in the stylus holder and the whole stylus glows blue which does look kind of funky.

All in all I would highly recommend both the product and the eBay supplier who was brilliant in helping me to locate the lost parcel by supplying tracking codes all the way from Hong Kong, through the UK and finally to the IOM.

I wondered what happened to your post back!

I am glad you are pleased with it and that is a glowing recommendation, I just read your post and ordered one for my Orbit 2 before replying, it was the blue LED that swung it for me!

P.S. they have dropped in price to £9.50 including shipping now!

Bassey · #29 (**permalink**) 26-03-2008, 04:51 PM

Good grief! Does that still include the charger etc.?
