Treo 700wx and Palm Cradle Charger

[cpc28655]

I used to have the 700p until about a week ago, when I accidentally dropped in into a sink at work. Anyway, it was insured so Alltel gave me a replacement. However, they did not have the 700p in stock at that time, so they gave me a choice of waiting until they came in, or taking a 700wx. I am not really a windows mobile fan, but I took it anyway.

As you all know, the batteries, chargers, ect. are the same on both phones. I have the oem palm cradle kit. With the 700p, I could set the phone in the cradle and hit the hotsync button. However, with the 700wx, the cradle doesnt work for syncing, only charging. Everything works fine when I plug the cord directly into the phone. Is there a reason for this that I am not seeing?

And yes, I removed hotsync manager and installed active sync.
