Has anyone bought a dual desktop charger off ebay like this one? If so what do you think? Would you recommend them? Thanks.

Hi, I found one at the Orange Shop in Marina Square when I was in SG in July. I believe that it was the same one as you have shown. DON'T get this coz you will regret it big time. Let me elaborate:
1) The original fast port charger cable will not attach correctly (the salesgirl asked me to use a rubber band to make it stick).
2) When you place you K750i into the cradle, it will not 'clip-on' properly either. Imagine if you place the desktop charger on a table and you accidentally bump into it, the phone will wobble and fall off.
I searched high and low for this device beforehand and thought I was in luck when the shop (in SG, mind you) had it. I rushed there from my hotel and got one without trying it (my mistake). Imagine my shock when it did not meet my expectation; I just could not believe how badly made this thing was.
Fortunately, I managed to return this product after much haggling with the salesgirl and got my money back. I took the cash and purchased an original desktop charger at Suntec. It may be pricey but worth every penny of it.
The dual function charger may be less costly but the quality ain't there nor is the reliablity. Learnt my lesson on this one. Another thing, the post in eBay indicates 2 batteries, wow! I wonder if these are original batteries coz in Malaysia, I found the BST-37 for around USD$ 12.00 complete with the SE labels and all at a local shopping complex. I am really wary of buying components here coz you may just end up with crap at the end of the day.
