Home > Consumer Reviews > Palm T5 / TX Desktop Dock Cradle

This cradle looks nice and works just as you would expect it to. It also frees up your original charger to use as a travel charger.

I actually prefer using the button on the back as opposed to the Palm screen. The LED is bright but not a big deal. The package and cradle were only labeled as "For Tungsten 5" but does work with T|X. Due to the curved bottom of the T|X it can "rock" in the cradle slightly and not quite make proper contact. In the beginning I was getting failed HotSyncs before realizing what the problem was, now just have to be more careful when docking it.

This is a fine and very well made cradle with two charging options:

1) A USB connection from the unit directly to your computer.

2) An AC/DC power connection directly to a wall outlet.

The Palm TX fits very snugly within the cradle which is also heavy enough not to fall over like some other cradles available in the marketplace. The cradle also has a nice blue LED light (that can even be used as a nightlight) that is illuminated whenever the unit is powered (no matter which method is being used above).

This cradle has never given me any trouble at all for many charging sessions and has performed flawlessly. I highly recommend it.

I bought this as a second cradle to keep at work and I am very pleased with it. I think it works as good as the palm cradle but at a better price.

Reasonable price - works well. Using to charge the PalmP and to sync data with two different computers. I'm using two of them without problems.
