Bold 9700 Charging Pod doesn't Sync

Question

Hi,
On ShopBlackberry.com, I came across this for the Bold 9700:
http://www.shopblackberry.com/_blackberryaccessoriescan/cgi-bin/pd.cgi?frompage=category&page=produc...
Where, under the features, it says: 
Features
Combines with any travel or data cable charger to charge and/or sync with a BlackBerry smartphone
Display smartphone while recharging, taking calls, watching videos or listening to music
I picked one up today from my mobile carrier, since it was quicker and no shipping fees. However, it doesn't sync! It charges fine when connected to a wall socket, and my computer. However, my computer dosen't recognize it while its in the pod.
Is this normal behaviour for the Bold 9700 charging pod? Could it be a misprint on the website? Or, are there possibly 2 versions of the charging pod?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I've already installed all that, and set everything up. Syncing with the microSD cable directly works fine.
for your information the cable is a Micro-USB cable and not a MicroSD.
MicroSD stands for a type of flash memory card (Micro SDHC Card). Most recent BlackBerry devices have a MicroSD slot.

yes there is just one pod for Bold 2. See my previous answer to understand how it is designed. I know it is deceiving.

indeed. I still don't understand why the same product is 3 or 4 times more expensive on the RIM shop than on Amazon or in a carrier store.
