Nexus One Docking Cradle Review
Are you looking for a simple and easy way to keep your Nexus One synchronized and charged? The Nexus One docking cradle from the folks at WirelessGround.com may be the answer. The docking cradle ships with a power adapter and USB cable that can be used to attach the cradle to an outlet (using supplied adapter) or it can be connected directly to the computer so that the Nexus One is accessible by the computer. The best feature this docking cradle has is that it gives you the ability to charge a spare battery for your Nexus One without interfering with the charging of the phone.

I’ve been using the unit to keep the Nexus One charged and connected to my PC for about two weeks and the only complaint that I can come up with is the fact that the USB cable cannot be used directly on the phone. If I’m away and need to charge the phone via USB through my notebook, I need to rely on the cradle or hope that I brought the USB cable for the Nexus One. Overall the unit is solid, it matches the rest of the gadgets invading my desk, and best of all it works.
If you think this is a docking cradle that may work for you, make sure you check it out at WirelesGround.com where you will be able to purchase it for $24.95.
