I love this product!
User: Lee Carr, Jan 10, 2007
Pros:
Great Multi for travel and syncing
Cons:
-
I love this product. It's small for portability which is great when I travel and it charges my phone and sync's at the same time. I always hated the stupid wall chargers anyway. I had one for my Treo 600 and now am buying one for my 700w
Love this cable
User: Jeff Hackett, Jan 30, 2007
Pros:
Works great, inexpensive, and compact
Cons:
It is delicate
I have had one for several months and love it. I have had no problems with it. Works exactly as advertised. In fact, I am about to buy another one. It is delicate, so I am careful to not pull by the cord when I unplug it.
Convenient
User: Leonard Balk, Mar 8, 2007
Pros:
It works
Cons:
Poorly made
There is no question this is poorly made, the retractable part breaks within days. But the cable is small and I keep it in my laptop bag, it makes charging the phone easy because I do not carry the power cable with me. I always keep one with me.
Great addition
User: Janice Wright, Nov 10, 2006
Pros:
Small and compact
Cons:
cord can become tangled
This is a good choice for a second charger/sync. I can use this one at home with my laptop and use the original cords at the office. It is also a great price.
Must-have accessory
User: Terry Harvey, Jan 14, 2007
Pros:
Light, tangle-free, way better than OEM cable, disconnects easily.
Cons:
Not specific to 680
Takes way less space than the clunky OEM synch cable, this is definitely a travel essential. I can ditch the OEM cable & charger. And buy a few more for the office, home, travel case.
One issue that applies to this and all similar products is that the connector is universal and doesn't fully leverage the advances in the 680. Product description needs to be updated. The OEM cable will trickle-charge the Treo 680 from discharged to 100% from a powered USB 2.0 port (that's all I have used so far). The connector for the Treo end of the the retractable cable doesn't need the power adaptor as far as I can tell, they could make it even more compact by removing that. The 680 OEM adaptor only has 4 prongs, but this product has all 13 prongs which are apparently not required for the 680. When my battery was fully discharged though, the OEM sync/charge cable wouldn't charge it, but no problem if there was a tiny bit of charge left. This cable did recharge (in about 4 hours!), and it works fine syncing from my docking station USB port which the OEM doesn't seem to do.
With battery life as cr*ppy as the 680's this is an important issue. I'd rather not carry more batteries & chargers than I absolutely have to!
