I was checking out Brad's review (http://pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,11591) of a great-looking charge & sync solution. I'd love to pick one of these up, but I don't think it will work for me.
A few months, I dropped my iPaq. It was in a brand new Vaja case. Of course, it landed right on the exposed sync connector on the bottom of my iPaq. The port on my iPaq was mangled. I couldn't even get it to fit into a cradle. After a little handy-work with a pair of pliers, I was able to sync again.
But, I can't use charging sync cables any more. If I hold on to the connector, it will work. If I don't, it loses connection. A major hassle. So, I bought a full iPaq cradle complete with charging cable. It works great.
Anyone else ever have this problem?
BTW, my iPaq is out of warranty and I'm too cheap to get it fixed. Actually, I'm hoping that it will die an ugly death (not by my hands of course) so that I can justify buying a new Pocket PC.
