I got this because my BB8800’s mini-usb charger was fried. This thing is very well made, and useful until your cheating ex-girlfriend douses your Blackberry in the sink…

The charger provided with the 8800 plugs into the mini-USB port. The Power Station recharges the BlackBerry via a different path: the two contact pads immediately under the push-to-talk switch. You lay the BlackBerry gently into the cradle, two contacts extend from the side of the cradle and begin charging the BlackBerry. At the same time, the power station charges a second battery, allowing you to merely swap batteries instead of recharging your phone.
I find that repeated use of the mini-USB port for charging causes the port to gradually fail (the contact gets progressively flakier with time, sometimes the phone doesn’t charge at all). The Power Station is a far more reliable way of charging your phone.
I bought this product back in April of this year and I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The charger is very handy since one is able to put a back-up battery in to charge while charging the phone in the cradle. For several months now, however, whenever I try to charge my phone in the cradle it doesn’t make the appropriate contact to do so. I have to wiggle the phone around and play with it until the little charging icon shows on the phone.
It was nice while it lasted but not worth the money…should have had a much longer life than it did.
