I am planning to buy either a Visor USB cradle or a USB cable.
Would like to get some advice before I make the decision.
Any suggestion please????
Thanks.

The cradle is nice in a desktop environment. Just set the Visor in, press the button, and HotSync begins.

The cable is nice for portable use where you don't want to carry the bulky cradle around. To HotSync with the cable, however, you need to go into the HotSync app on the Visor and start it manually... there is no button.

I guess in the end it comes down to a matter of personal preference as to which one to use.

As Mark said, its much easier to use the USB cradel, so unless your planning on travelling alot with your Visor and a lapto, I would reccomendgetting the Cradel.

I have both for my laptop. The cradle stays at work attached to my docking station. The cable travels with me and the laptop wherever I go. I am a consultant and my laptop is always with me. It is very convienent to be able to hot synch without having to carry the cradle around all of the time. Having to go to the hotsynch prog on the Visor is not that inconvienent.

It's like the others have said. If you're going to stay put, use a cradle. If you have a laptop get the cable.

Hope this helps.
