Title: Cheaply Built - Connector Pins Are Very Easily Damaged
Product review: I have both a Serial and USB cradle for the 540 series. Both are terribly disappointing pieces of junk.Within a matter of a few days of use, I now have bent pins on both cradles - rendering them useless - and preventing me from establlishing a connection to my desktop. (No, the there is nothing wrong with the female connector on the 548...)Upon examination I see the pins are VERY flimsy and under-engineered. For ... [the retail price] I expect HP to produce a much more robust product.Connectiong the PDA to a desktop is a critial and major function of the Pocket PC. Couldn't HP put 10 cents more into the manufacture of these cradles, so they could perform their vital function?I have had to "fall-back" to using the serial cable that came with the 548. The connector on that cable is much better made and should have a long life.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
