I have been using Palm Pre since the first day of its launch back in June 2009. This phone is packed with amazing features and is one of the best smart phones in the market.  It has a slick and intuitive user interface and is the only phone that can actually claim true multi-tasking capabilities. But the only burning issue with this phone as well as other smart phones is battery life. So it’s good and almost necessary to have an extra charger nearby.

I found a Palm Pre USB Sync cradle with 2nd battery charger at WirelessGround.com. Aesthetically, I found it  to be slick and attractive. When the phone is hooked up, it gives you a nice view of your phone even while charging the battery.

After I placed the order, it was shipped within a day with an email confirmation and tracking number. I got the charger in my hand within few days.

The box included one power adaptor, one mini USB cord and the cradle itself. The back of the cradle has two inputs, one for AC power and one for mini USB. It was kind of nice that you could use the same charger cradle with AC power and with regular USB to your computer.

On the top it has a plastic grip that holds your Palm Pre at a comfortable reading angle and provides convenient access on your desk. The cradle also provides a slot where you can charge your second battery.

Micro USB cable is attached to the docking cradle that can connect to your Palm Pre. The cradle has a nice slot that will eventually hide the micro USB cable if not in use. Micro USB cable is kind of short and during my use, I found it little inconvenient to plug the cable to Palm Pre.

The cradle has blue LED light indicator that can give you the status of your battery charge. The charger is compatible with Palm Pre and Pre Plus phone models.

I personally prefer the Palm's touchstone charger, but this charger has certain features that may appeal to many people and serves as an excellent alternative to the touchstone charger.
