Palm Pre Touchstone Charging Dock

Avoid the hassle of tangled cords and charge your Palm Pre wirelessly with this Palm Touchstone Charging Dock. The first inductive charging solution for phones, the Touchstone Charging Dock allows you to set your Palm Pre on top of the dock without worrying about connection, orientation or fit. The device remains active while charging, allowing access to the touch screen, movies or video, or the speakerphone option.

The Touchstone Charging Dock.

Palm Pre and Touchstone Back Cover sold separately.

This package includes just the Touchstone Charging Dock; to charge your device wirelessly, you also need the separately available Touchstone Back Cover for Palm Pre.

Just set your Pre with compatible Touchstone Back Cover on the Touchstone Charging Dock, and it magnetically snaps into place and begins charging. The magnets align your phone in the correct position for charging, whether in portrait or landscape mode--no cables or connectors required to attach your phone to the dock. And it charges in the same amount of time as wall charger that came with your Palm Pre.

The Charging Dock also offers a number of handy features in addition to keeping your battery topped up:

Place your phone on the Charging Dock when you're on a call and its speakerphone automatically turns on.
Pick your phone up from the Charging Dock while you're on speakerphone and the conversation is automatically routed back to the phone.
For incoming phone calls, simply pick up the phone from the Charging Dock and it answers automatically, without having to tap the screen.
When the phone is not in use, Nightstand mode displays the time and incoming notifications.

The Charging Dock also requires the International Power Charger that came with the Palm Pre to operate.

I LOVE this charger. First i thought it was a little frivolous, but as I have been using it heavily while I am at work I don't know how I ever worked without it. I set it up on my desk, and if i need to type on computer, and take a call at the same time, It's a breeze-because it automatically answers the call in speakerphone, while continuing to charge the phone. plus it looks cool, and it has made all my iphone friends very jealous! Neat little piece of tech, definitely worth the price on amazon.

Excellent for Desk or Car

If you have the Verizon Pre Plus, ignore those saying this isn't "the kit" because you already have everything you need. The Verizon Pre comes with the Touchstone back plate, whereas the Sprint version doesn't.

I have the Verizon Pre Plus, which comes with the Touchstone compatible cover, but not the actual Touchstone. This works perfectly, right out of the box. It also works with the car adapter. It works great in the car because the bottom has a tacky surface like sticky notes, so it stays on my dashboard or shift console, making it easy to use and keeping it from sliding around and falling on the floor.

I was skeptical about whether this was worth having. Once I tried it, I am hooked. I wish it came with the phone, because it's definitely one of the best features of the Pre, by keeping it a truly wireless phone.

Well worth the Amazon price (cheaper than Verizon), and something every Verizon Pre owner should get. HIghly recommended!

Useless device

I recently bought a Palm Pre from Verizon for work and got once of these charging stations, it worked great.

I then went to get another one for home and discovered I could not charge my phone with it. It's a paperweight. I went BACK to the store and they informed me they had no idea it was not a complete charger and so they had not ordered any of the USB power cables. So having left my charger at work, I am left unable to charge my phone for the weekend because Palm got greedy.

$50 for something that will not even charge my phone? They want ANOTHER $30 just to give it power?

Show me one other company which charges $80 for a phone charger kit.

It is a wonderful idea, and when you have all the right cables works great, but there is absolutely no excuse for making this an incomplete charging kit other than pure greed, and lack of respect for your customers and their wallets.

great deal

I love these things, just got this one for the car.

FYI if your going to put this in the car make you get the Palm Branded charger and Micro USB chord thats the only way to do it.

Excellent charger, very convenient

This particular charger works quite well. Had previously purchased this with the full kit, but the charging dock was not working too well. You had to shift the phone around to find the "sweet spot" where it would continuously charge. I've seen other reviews where other folks had the same issue. Unfortunately, I was slow to return my charging dock before the manufacturer's warranty was over.

This replacement works very well - the way it is suppose to. i just put the phone on it and it starts charging. No need to shift around to find the "sweet spot" Plus it's so much easier than having to pop open the plactic cover that covers the jack for the plug-in charger.
