Now they've renaged on that support by not providing any new phone holders since the 9000. Given that models in the Bold, Curve and Pearl series are still being introduced, it makes no sense to the customer (especially in these "eco" times) to render the Power Station half-useless and destined for land-fill for want of a cheap bit of plastic (especially as the "spare" charger can still be used with 9700 M series batteries).
Exactly. The powerstation was freakin expensive and I initially was hesitant to get it given the price, but the functionality and *future proof* nature of the interchangeable cradles made me go for it. WTF RIM?
