eShopLimited let me know about a pretty cool combo deal they have going until February 16th. All of you 8900 users can pick up a RIM 8900 Charging Pod and get a free Premium Holster for your BlackBerry. The holsters are like the old school RIM plastic holsters instead of the useless cases RIM usually gives us nowadays.
The combo deal for the 8900 Charging Pod along with the Premium Holster goes for $18.99. Shipping was pretty reasonable at about ~$8 to ship to my apartment in NYC.
To pick it up follow these instructions:
- Go to the 8900 Charging Pod product page
- Add the item to your cart
- Use the coupon code PRLVE and it will automatically add the 8900 Holster to your cart for free
- Complete the checkout
Let me know if you pick one up!

I have the charging pod for the 83XX series that I got just this Christmas as a gift. I will likely upgrade to the 8900, and I though the charging pod I have will work with the 8900 too. Am I wrong?

It won’t work. The connecting pins are located in a different location on the 8900 + different shape. You’ll need a new dock.

I was JUST surfing the net for a cradle and a plastic holster. Your timing is perfect. Thanks for the heads up!

Since this deal just expired I bought two 8900 charging pods off Amazon for a little under 15 bucks a piece (w/ s&h included). Was the cheapest price I could find on-line. Unfortunately no holsters came with them but I wouldn’t use one of those anyway.
