No R818 adapter - HP was very difficult to deal with [Posted on 2006-06-18]
I purchased this and spent 3 days on the phone with Hewlett Packard trying to get the correct adapter so it would fit my R818 camera (the dock has a thin port, roughly 10 connectors) while the R818 has a mini USB plug).
HP was less than helpful when it came to trying to get the correct adapter, getting a different answer each time I spoke to a different rep (even being told at one point that no supervisors were working). I was finally able to get someone willing to send me one, but said it was going to be 10+ business days to get it, which by then I'll be on vacation (and I purchased it well in advance giving myself time to get the adapter, thinking it was not hard to get). I was looking forwared to using the dock on my vacation.
I would definately *not* recommend this if you have the Photosmart R818 digital camera, unless you like the stress of spending hours on the phone with Hewlett Packard trying to get a correct part, and waiting 10+ business days to get it.
Do not buy this from Adorama!!! [Posted on 2006-07-05]
The default supplier for this item is Adorama. They have sku numbers mixed up on the back end, so they will ship you the HP 6221 dock instead. Will not work with the R series.
They do not even carry the actual HP 8887 dock.
Huge hassles, so click on the new and used link and buy directly from Amazon. It's a few dollars more, but at least you get the right item.
More then I need but a great product [Posted on 2006-08-29]
I bought this dock from a seller called Miga. They did an excellent job of answering my questions on the product and sending everything in mint condition. I use the dock for my HP R817. Having read the reviews regarding the insert I just went through HP's part site and ordered the correct insert for my camera. It was only $5 (before shipping) and it arrived the same day as the dock package. The dock transfers data so much faster then the cradle that comes with the camera plus it has an extra battery which would cost $50 and up by itself from HP. I bought the dock for its dual charging ability for when I go on trips since this dock is less expensive then the fast charge travel kit. I probably won't use the remote control feature or print images right from the dock. But for what I will use it for its an excellent product for the price and I highly recommend it for you 817 818 users out there.
fun and easy to use [Posted on 2006-11-11]
i like the ease of use. i bought this product because i had lost my camera adaptor. it's very easy to use but i did experience problems. the first is that it cannot seem to fully charge the battery that is in the camera when it's sitting in the dock. the light keeps blinking, meaning its still charging. its not that big of a deal since the dock can charge another battery in another compartment in the base. the only other problem that was frustrating was the installation of the software that came with it. my computer did not seem to launch into the installation process. after researching on the internet about other simular problems associated with this scenerio, i found that you have to keep inserting the disk until it takes. so i tried like 6-8 times and it installed with no problem.
this dock is very handy though. you can transfer images to your computer with a click of a button and you can hook it up to your tv and view the images. the remote is very simple to use. this is a truely great concept of a product with a few glitches. without the glitches, i would have given it 5 stars.
