Default NO MORE CELL PHONE CRADLES AGHHHGHHGHGH!!!!!!!!

My cell phone died yesterday. I called insurance and got a replacement. The new model isn't cradle compatible. So I go to the verizon store. None of the cell phones there are cradle compatible. WTF?!?!??!?!

Does nobody like cradles???? Does nobody like the quick and easy drop your cellphone in??? I can't even charge a spare battery with this standard travel charger that I'm forced to use.

So I e-mailed LG. My response??

We definitely appreciate your feedback. However, please keep in mind that manufacturers can not satisfy every consumer with the design of a product. The majority of VX6100 customers are completely satisfied. For the few that are not, the retailers have trial periods that they offer to provide the consumer with an option to swap equipment for another model that suits their liking. Please note, our phones are designed according to the service provider's specifications, and therefore not solely based on consumer opinions.

In the future, if LG can be of any further assistance to you, please feel free to contact us again.

Which means I'm screwed. WTF!?!?!? Am I alone on this?

I don't have one yet, but my brother and parents had their cradles replaced by these little things that plugged into their cells, without replacing the cells themselves. Perhaps you could light the cell phone store on fire though.

I tried to thing of a reason that a cradle is easier, more convenient, or even in any way more logical to use then just using the new plug and cable thing they got going, but I cant think of one.

What exactly is your problem with just plugging it in?

That's the problem. It's impossible to charge a spare battery with that travel charger. IT sucks. Instead I have to buy a wall plug to charge my spare battery. No quick and easy cradle. This sucks!!!

Just in from verizon:

No Sir, unfortunately, LG does not manufacture cradle chargers for any of the current models we have with Verizon.

-You can do it one handed.

-The cradle sits on your desk so it's always easy to reach instead of a loose wire.

-Cradle can charge spare battery so you always have backup juice. Travel charger can't do this.

-cradle = 1 wall plug consumed

-travel charger + wall charger = 2 wall plugs on 2 different walls (thanks to transformer) used.

Is there something preventing you from removing a charged battery from your phone and swapping in an uncharged battery?

Ya, it's called leaving the house and taking the phone with you.
