Fommy Product Review:

This small, extremely portable mini-dock is extremely handy to have around. It's slim profile makes it a great choice just to throw into your suitcase or bag to have it wherever you need it, be it on your desk or in a meeting. Of course, it charges your device, but you maintain almost all of your normal functionality; making it great for calls over the speakerphone or just as a stand for watching media or listening to music.

It also has a very handy LED light that not only indicates to you when it is charging, but it will change colors to notify you when it is done charging.

This is a great little gadget, my only problem with the main functionality is, I wished it gripped the device better, as it is quite easy to knock the phone loose. I really don't see much of a way to remedy this given its very small form factor. Otherwise, the only thing you should be aware of is that it does not come bundled with a cable, you'll have to use a MicroUSB cable, such as the one that comes bundled with the Curve 8900.
