Desk Stand

Anyone got a decent desk stand for their trinity? I'm after one. If you can post links to where you got your that would be great. (already did a search and no luck).

you mean a cradle ?

I have got the Trinity Cradle (Not the one with a spare battery charger place) from Expansys.
Also bought the Car Kit from Expansys - Car kit is handy, esp when going to places and need the GPS to last longer.

I got mine on ebay from Hong Kong. It was very cheap but took forever to ship. I should have bought it from egadgetdepot.com, where I origianally got my Trinity.

I also bought form egadgetdepot.com my trinity and the "desk stand". It gets the work done.
You can also look at boxwave.com, their screen protectors are very good also, not as good as the ones from shieldzone.com (they dont have shields for P3600 yet)
Good luck

I have this one too and I hate it... it always turns the camera on if you put the Trinity in!

Agreed, mine turns the camera also on .... damn thing!

Anyone has this here?
http://www.expansys.at/p.aspx?i=145160&asource=P3600_DE
Does it also switch on the camera?

I'm pretty sure this one won't ....

I just got this on ebay, it came from China pretty cheap. It has 2 plugs in the back, one to charge via USB and the other is a regular plug.
Also, it has a slot on the inside so the camera button doesn't get pressed when charging. Strangely, it comes with a large stylus that goes into a hole and lights up blue.

No, I dont think so... this is the original HTC cradle... but it is quite expensive

emergency charger

maybe to solve the battery problems we could all buy emergency chargers.
if you have one with solar panels and batteries yu can charge your diamond everywhere.
and you do not need to have a thicker diamond.

maybe sould get a discount buy-action (inkoop actie)
But i'm off to holiday so we maybe do that later.

i got the solar charger today.
is is almost a thin as the diamond ;-)
but it charges the diamond pretty quick. just put this in your bag and you can keep the diamond in your pants. no need for an extra battery, thicker diamond etc.

I ordered one for me too. Could you tell me how do you connect it to Diamond?
In the description stays "4 x Connection Cable (Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and Sony Ericsson)". Is there any adapter to USB or something else?

I think Motorola also uses mini usb.

the different connectors were inside.
i sent an email to the company explaining which conectors i needed.
there is also an usb exentension cord included. so you can basically connect anything with a normal usb connection

Don't forget that if you're just using solar to charge up, the small size solar panel will mean it will take a day or two in constant very strong sunlight.
I've got a solio charger which folds out to 3 solar panels which are each as big as this. Living in good ol' blighty with it's not so sunny days, it can take 3-4 days to fully charge the internal battery (1000mah), one of these single panel jobs would take over a week

cant you connect these up to a power source and charge the internal battery that way?
then when your out you just insert the emergency charger to the phone.

I've got a Solio in Sydney and it's still not great, but yes you can charge them off a usb port, which is what I am doing for now. Not as environmentally friendly but it works and is a useful spare power supply.

I asked Kidigi and make an order directly from them. It was 60 USD with delivery and Euro charger (about 46 euros). The original from Expansys costs 59 euros and from Clove 51 euros. Let's see when it comes. Not cheep one, but it looks good and there are power, usb and headset sockets.

I thought Kidigi only sell their products in volume ? Do you order only 1 unit of the cradle from Kidigi direct ?

Yes, only one. Maybe they sell it to me, because they have not yet any distributor with EU changer.

For this price (even cheaper)you can get a original craddle here

Willem

But the original doesn't charge a spare battery, which while it looks nice, is a let down.

Not true, there the cradle costs with taxes and delivery € 52,26. You have always count the total cost, the advertised price is not the whole truth.
The original has less connectors, uses the original charger etc. The original charger looks nice, but the shape doesn't suit well with other chargers in the same splitter.
If you buy the HTC Travel charger with the cradle, the total is € 67,34, I paid € 45,68. So?

I sent several messages through their website however no replies. By any chance do you have a contact at Kidigi?
Thanks

I live close to Amstelveen where the company is seteled so I don't have any transport costs, second the charger from Kidigi isn't a original either so I can buy my somewhere else like thisone http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7087 which make it much more flexible in use makes al tougether 39,60€

Ik zie niet in waarom niet, de meeste schade die dit soort imitatie apparaten aanrichten is daar waar de connectie word gemaakt oftewel het stekkertje aan de telefoon, dan neem je gewoon de originele kabel.

In your case, but NOT in my case. I have to count all the costs, which I pay to get the cradle home. After all that I got the Kigidi cheaper from them than any original from anybody. It's just useless to compare your situation to my situation. I'm not going to fly to the Netherlands to get the cradle without 15 euros delivery costs.
Of course Kigidi has their own charger and of course I can get general charger cheaper than the original, but if I buy the original cradle, why should I then buy a cheapo charger? If you like to know, I have an iGO charger, which offers the best flexibility to charge any small device anywhere just changing the tips (two at same time). I have tips for the HTC, Nokia, TomTom, Sony Ericsson, etc. I don't know what you wanted to suggest behind the non-working link (and I don't even care).
In my opinion you get most features with less money when you buy a Kidigi Diamond Deluxe Cradle, that's the reason why I'm gonna get one.
There is no reason to continue with comparision to the original cradle. They are as far from each other as the original TF3D is from the TF3D with XDA extensions.

If you like to compare the TF3D and the one with XDA extension like the original and the Kidigi than you sugest that the TF3D with XDA extension is beter, do you realy mean this? If so you can compare than the cheapo cradle aswell with the Kidigi and original and to your opinion the cheapo can even become the best buy.

My Diamond with SecondToday, TodayAgenda, extra tabs, tweaks, colors etc makes the phone much more usable than the version out of the box. With some extensions from XDA I'll can use the phone with localized views. There is NOT a finnish WinMO from HTC. There is some localized views in the phone, but HTC doesn't offer any way to get them in use, XDA forums does. HTC has no daring to compete with Nokia in Finland.

The Kidigi is not a cheapo cradle, it is much more flexible than the original. That was my reason to choose it. Who has made the original cradle? HTC itself, I doubt it, it comes from some OEM manufacturer.
The HTC Shop offers Herbert Ripper Car holder. In your way the Ripper must be the best because it is from HTC. Not true, I have the Brodit holder which is designed for Diamond with same power, usb and headset connections as the Kigidi has. The Brodit is just the best car holder, there is no rival for it.
In my case, decisions which I have done, suits just perfecly to me and all the money I have used, it's all my money. Maybe you have other values to choose, their are up to you.
This conversation is now merely offtopic, it is time to end it here. Life is...

Ouch, they have got it. When I last visited Brando, there was no Kidigi cradle. This is a bargain at Brando's price.

Will it fit the US version HTC Diamond 110 with 1350mA battery?

Yes, it is freshly added into Brando webshop. The cradle offered in Brando are all from Kidigi, and have waited for this deluxe cradle to be hosted in its webshop. In Expansys you may find the same Kidigi cradle for Touch Pro but Expansys renames it to Expansys deluxe cradle. Other cradle are all from Kidigi but Expansys does not use this name only. Therefore Brando will be a better place to deal with since you buy it with better price than Expansys with the same cradle from OEM Kidigi. This time Expansys has not offer Kidigi deluxe cradle for Diamond.
I hope so since I also attach 1340 mAh extended battery with my Diamond and it is more or less similar thickness with US version. I have tried Touch Pro cradle and it cannot synchronize with host pc but only charging. Anyway I prefer this than the HTC one since it provides spare battery slot and AC plug. I may use it with original 900 mAh battery or to see whether Diamond with extended battery may be inserted into the slot or not. Perhaps I may remove the battery cover when synchronization.

I'm keeping an eye on this too.
I want to see if it will fit the Sprint Diamond.
I have the Igonemobile dock which I like just fine.
This one does look better though.
So if anyone does try the Sprint Diamond with this dock please let us know how it goes.
tks

Kidigi Deluxe Desktop Cradle?

http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1184
Has anyone seen it on sale in the UK yet other than on ebay?

Looks nice. Especially when the additional battery is included.

I found an even nicer one! http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1183
Not to mention car holders - nice stuff! Unfortunately I cannot find any place to buy it from.. ???

I emailed them the other day about these, they said they'll be in the UK at the end of may at mobilefun.

You can pre order from the site
Desire Deluxe Cradle

Man that is nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicest one so far!! I love it!!

do you think the other cradle for pre order is meant to be the elegant cradle? because the stock picture doesn't look much like the one on the kidigi website

Even better then! I really want one, think they look really nice.

I really like the car mounts they have for the Desire. I just wonder if they will activate the car dock mode (as in the upcoming original car mount)

Where can I find this on eBay? Searching for deluxe cradle yields no results...

it's not available for sale yet

I had one of these for my last handset (HTC S740). Different fitting but basically the same.
I used it on my nightstand to charge my phone overnight and can say the following.
It feels a bit cheap but does the job 100%. I was always able to leave the house in the morning with a fully charged phone AND a fully charged battery.
The connections are a bit odd and looking at the Desire version, nothing has changed.
The cradle has TWO USB MINI (yes Mini not Micro like the Desire has) connections. This is not a big deal as the phone plugs into the cradle and not the cradles mains charger.
One connection takes the power in and the other connects to your computer for sync. I am guessing host USB is not enough to charge the phone and a 2nd battery.
And finally, there are plenty of these on eBay for less money and looking at the delivery dates, they will get to you even from Hong Kong sooner.

Hi, have you found one of these available in the UK yet?
This is the one I want now, looks smart
(removed link because I've been a lurker and not a poster)

These are now shipping from Mobilefun, got a text this morning telling me mine had shipped. I placed the order on the 9th May.................

Has anyone received this yet? Can anyone confirm if this will hold the the phone with the flexishield?
I really like the look of this but can't imagine taking off the flexishied everytime put it on the cradle

Any other dock that uses dock pins?

I think the google desktop dock is way to expensive, as i only need it as a charger and have no need for the A2DP function.
But all the cheap dock's on ebay uses the USB connection and not the dock pins, has anybody found a cheap dock that has dock pins connection?
It's much more convenient to be able to just drop the phone in a dock instead of needing to connect the phone to a dock, and be able to use the dock mode is a plus when you use it as an alarm clock.

I was wondering the same thing, is it that hard to reproduce that? I havnt seen anything besides the usb ones either and i have heard it can screw up the usb connection of n1s so didnt want to buy one of those

Exactly the same thoughts here

does anyone have specs of which pins do what? (i.e. do you apply +5 v to pin 1, ground to pin2, etc)
i've got some ideas on a homebrew dock.

Search for the thread: "Dock Pinout"
It seams that it alot harder, that there is a binary communication in one of the pins, not just a current that tells it to go into dock mode...

Doh! delete my post haha.

Just bought an original Nexus One Desktop Dock brand new from Ebay for $15.00 . The seller has 49 more available. It arrived today and it's all original with sealed packaging. Just throwing it out there if anyone is interested.

Too bad it isn't shipped for free outside the US. Shipping costs are more than half of the costs of the dock itself :silly:

brought last week http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/330770220824?item=330770220824
Dock US $15.00
Shipping US $8.46 (Germany)
Thats €18,65 (a new one costs 60€ at launch day ..)

I bought the dock when I first got the nexus one. If you guys get one for cheap and want to continue using the Nexus One, go for it. I mean the phone does slide down easly if the bump against the dock. But the lack of wear on the usb connector is well worth it.

Do you mind giving any feedback on this unit? I want to buy a separate charger cause I have a spare battery and OEM dock the previous owner bought new with the phone but I want to be able to charge the spare battery without swapping back and forth from the phone. Its a real hassle. I don't want to buy a charger that ends up cooking the battery.
