i730 Cradle - Does it Really Work?
How are you suppose to use the cradle that comes with the i730? Has anyone else found it difficult to insert the phone in the cradle?

if you are referring to the two photos under the FAQ (#15??) I think that the one marked BAD in red is the correct way to set it up, especially if you are charging the second battery at the same time!!

The cradle is actually designed to be foldable for travel...the grey piece actually rotates around the front of the cradle to become the supporting structure behind the i730. I would take a picture, but don't have access to my cradle at work.

It is a little deceptive from the angle of the photo -- the "good" photo is angled so that you cannot see the space for charging the extra battery -- now my charging icon is bvack tgo red and i suppose it will stay that way until i get a full charge
