Are Blackberry charging docks interchangeable?
I just got a Bold 9900.
Will a previous model charging stand (Bold 9000) work?

Not going to work. The shape of the phones is different so the charging points are not in the same place.

Thank you. I suspected as much.
I've seen a series of negative comment about the official recharging dock.
Few recommendations for an alternative.
Oh well.

Hi. I use it everyday because of Bold battery "performance".
Except the price (of the BBY logo ?), no negative comment.

Try this aftermarket pod from Amazon. I've got 4 of them and they contact far better than the Blackberry product.

Thanks. They wouldn't ship it from the UK.
So I got a package deal from a US supplier.
That dock with some screen guards and a car charger for 18 US.
Which is about what the scalper at the phone store wanted
for just the screen guards.

I also read about the official one's design flaw, and Kevin's video demonstrated it very well.

So I bought one on ebay, shipping from China. Once I receive it, I will let everyone know if it works or not.

I bought my screen protector from Newegg, they are pretty good and came in set of 6, honestly why would I need 6 is beyond me, my last phone never had any protection and that 9700 lasted a long time!

The only reason I wanted to have a screen protector is to make the screen level with the button area.

I bought the OEM cradle for my 9930 and I love it. I don't like that I can't use it with a case, but that goes for every BlackBerry model and its charging stand. I like that it holds up the phone instead of having it lie down while charging. In my opinion, it was well worth the price, but I've seen much cheaper ones on eBay.

I've got 2 of these - they work perfectly and cost less than a fiver

The oem charging stand for the BOLD 9900 works great for me. Fine product.

Yep, that's what I bought, still didn't arrive though.. Mail takes forever to get here from China, although some people can get them fairly fast.. I guess it depends on if the shipper wants to pay 31 cents for 2 weeks service or 30 cents for 4 weeks service..
