Powered Pda Mount for Dell Axim X50/X50V Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this for six months and it's trashed. This isn't a high end mount, or at least I hope others are better.
Let's start with the good: The power connector is tight and holds on well to the various sockets and adapters I've tried it with. It's easy enough to conenct the PDA and the power and audio connectors are a convenient length and a positive fit. The adjustment for angle is quite easy, though bending the gooseneck makes it feel like it's going to break, but it didn't. The Suction mount gets an adequate hold and it never fell off. The built in speaker is OK.
The bad: The clamps are poorly made, they have enough grip but the teeth are poor quality plastic. The power connector for the GPS is a poor fit, the plug is longer than the socket, so there's always bare metal sticking out. The cradle is not positively attached to the rest of the mount, I don't think I ever tried to remove it, but if it is angled over too far it starts to slide off.
It's not usually possible to see the power light, but then that's just as well because it would just be a distraction.
And finally, after six month the ratchet teeth have broken, so it doesn't grip the PDA any more and is effectively useless.
Making a ratchet mechanism that can hold the PDA without wearing out in, probably, less than 100 cycles (I don't use it every day) is not high grade engineering. This is a poorly built product. If you buy it bear in mind you'll need another one in a few months.
