Hey all
For anyone still paying attention to this thread, I've recieved the cradle and had a chance to judge it.
So it is what it says, you can charge a battery and hero in this thing.
The phone fits in there well, you cant just 'pop' it in immediately, but it isnt as hard as fishing around to fit the usb in. After a few tries it became a pretty smooth movement getting the phone in and out of the cradle.
Unfortunately the rest of this review is bad. This cradle has to LED lights, one for the phone and one for the battery. The horrible, horrible thing about this unit is the fact that when you dont have a battery in the battery section the LED does this urgent yellow/red flashing thing which is incredibly obnoxious. It's like the designer was trying to piss people off and lose his job. I dont plan to buy another battery, I had to duct tape over that LED light until I can think of a less ghetto solution.
The second LED is blue, and nice at first...but at night it put this blue circle of light on my bedroom ceiling, it was like actually having a light on in the room, I like a dark room to sleep in, I had to unplug it.
I plan to take it to the office or something, just not somewhere I have to sleep.
So, it does what it says, but the LED's really make it kind of ridiculous.
