Mate have a look at this thread: http://www.n95users.com/forum/n95-ac...=charger+stand

I had one of the stands for my N95-1 and just ordered two (one for home, one for work) for my N95-2. I highly recommend:

- It looks hot
- Charges and USB contivity
- Hooks up to your computer speakers (plugs into the line in on your PC)
- Has a built in mic and works as a handsfree kit

If you don't need the 2nd batter charger, I highly recommend

It does come with a UK model plug, but it works with any old school nokia charger (I've got about 6 of them lying around from older phones)

Have a look here: eBay Seller: electronic world: n95, NOKIA N95 CRADLE-CHARGE SYNC USB MAINS CHARGER DOCK items on eBay Australia

How long does your battery last?? and how often do you charge your phone?? Mine sits in the cradle all day at work, and then when I get home, sits on the charger while I sleep at night..

on a full charge it last about less than 6 hours. i also have a charger at work, but im sometimes out and about and dont have it charging. i am also playin music pretty much the whole time at work using my bluetooth headset. so basically i need that dual charger so ill have a spare charged battery waiting for me.

Hrmmm... Have you thought about a car charger at all?? Just heard around those black chargers are pretty crummy... that's all :-)

[pogiewun]

yep, ive got a car charger as well...ive got chargers all over the place. there are just days where im not near one and i am still constantly using my phone. im an n95 addict. haha. its to the point where i feel buck naked without it.

Well people....i was just about to post a thread about this exact cradle....i purchased one about 2 weeks ago (link below) and so far am not happy....i think its completely killed my battery!!!

Warning: DONT keep your phone sitting in it all day at work especially if its fully charged....it seems it keeps charging and hence overcharges your battery and starts killing it...

i left work at 5pm yesterday with it sitting in there all day...fully charged...left it in my pocket un touched while have a few drinks at the pub and bang by 9-10pm (under 5 hours) it was DEAD....

Also (which might even be the cause of this) today i thought...."well i still want to use the cradle so ill unplug the charger AC mains cable from the back and just use it to sync"....The bloody thing was still charging!!! looks like it uses USB power and AC power to charge....surely this cant be good!!

Anyway just my thoughts/review, hope it helps.
