Summary: fun and easy to use
Comments: i like the ease of use. i purchased this product because i had lost my camera adaptor. it's easy to use however i did experience problems. the 1st 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 handy though. you can transfer images to your computer with a click of a howeverton and you can hook it up to your tv and view the images. the remote is 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. |

Summary: More then I need however a great product
Comments: I purchased this dock from a seller called Miga. They did an excellent job of answering my questions on the product and sending ething 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 quicker 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 purchased the dock for its dual charging ability for when I go on trips since this dock is less expensive then the quick charge travel kit. I probably will not use the remote control feature or print images right from the dock. however for what I will use it for its an excellent product for the price and I highly endorse it for you 817 818 users out there. |

Summary: Do not purchase this from Adorama!!!!!!
Comments: 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 purchase directly from Amazon. It's a few dollars more, however at least you get the right item. |

Summary: No R818 adapter - HP was difficult to deal with
Comments: 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 at1point that no supervisors were working). I was finally able to get someone willing to send me one, however 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* endorse 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. |
