Summary: Phone is Inactive While In Charger
Review: Be aware that the phone is NOT operational when using the desktop charger! (You won't receive incoming calls.) The portable charger (AC or 12VDC) does allow the phone to be used (send and receive) while charging.

Summary: Also Works with TrueSync
Review: For those of you that use TrueSync software and cable to synchronize your phone contacts with your PIM software, the True Sync cable can be plugged into the charger and the AC adapter can be connected to the TrueSync Cable.

The charger has an indicator on the front (along with the battery indicators) for True Sync activity.

Summary: unhappy
Review: I bought the charger, along with 2 spare batteries. The charger is simple, and easy to understand, good since there was no instruction sheet. It can be used in a car with the standard charge cord. However it will not fit anything larger than the 900ma battery that comes with the startac phone. Not nearly what I expected.

Summary: Also Works with TrueSync
Review: I disagree w/ a previous review. I have had no problems RECEIVING calls and simultaneously charging the phone using this desktop charger. In fact, if you have the phone set to vibrate, it rings in the charger anyway...

However, unlike the regular charger, you can't talk and charge at the same time. (It would be pretty funny trying to hold a desktop charger to your face to talk anyway.) So whenver the phone rings, just pull the phone out and talk!

Note 1: There is no "release button" you need to push to disconnect the phone. So it's easy to grab the phone in a hurry...

Note 2: Charging an additional battery is really weird. Just like a previous review, it is spring loaded, and you need to load it at an angle. I too looked all over the 1 pg. manual w/o luck to try and figure this out...

Summary: Motorola Dual Slot Rapid Desktop Charger has problems
Review: I have returned my chager to Motorolla under warranty two times. Each time Motorolla customer service was very nice about replacing it however the rear pocket for charging batteries has never worked. I've tested it with three batteries - 2 Li ION and 1 NiMH and it doesn't work with any in the rear pocket. It acts like its charging the battery but does not. The front pocket does a fine job of holding the phone and I haven't had trouble with the back holding the battery. If it worked it would be worth owning.

Summary: Don't buy it
Review: Never assume. What you get is pretty much just what you see in the picture. There is no cord to plug this unit in. You must still use the charging cord that came with the phone to connect it to an AC outlet. As such, this cannot be used as a second charger. The only advantage is the ability to charge an extra battery along with the phone. Once you know this, it is apparent from the description, but I guess I didn't read closely enough and assumed too much. All other comments accurate.
