Hello, has anyone seen the original HTC car kit, made by Herbert Richter, for Diamond? I wish to buy one cos I had one for my Touch cruise and it's very good in quality.
Cheers!
something like it
looks nice.
now to find someone who sells them
I bought the Gripper 3 from HR Richter with holder Global 9
I now have a E-ten M700 with original holder, the back and sides of the phone now have scratches because of the holder.
So if you want to protect you're phone against scatches buy a universal holder,
and every time you buy another phone you don't have to buy another holder.

is ok, i do not have my diamond yet ;-)
Anyone know how you can actualy buy the mount in the post above
http://www.adapt-mobile.com/mobile/detail.php?p_id=396
There is no buy button, I m assuming they are the manufacturers or dealers or soemthing.
I had one of those adaptive mount before it was the clunkiest piece of garbage I ever owned.
Just wait for the Brodit I have one for my Vario and it really holds ik like a rock.

I want to buy Herbert Richter GRIPPER 3 for the diamond but can anyone suggest which kind of arm buy? I have a Toyota Yaris and the windscreen it's far away from driver...
i think this one it's ok: Herbert Richter GLOBAL 2 Banana Suction Mount but it's sufficient long ?
the other two are: Herbert Richter GLOBAL 4 Rotating Tower Suction Mount
Herbert Richter Gooseneck Suction Mount
gooseneck can be long enough but what about vibrations ??

Linda, this is what we call BAD timing from a manufacturer point of view.
Your team's were not aware about this upcoming product
It would take me 10 days to make a mold in Guangzhou, so I guess you're having other issues @ brodit no?
So, Proclip, or holdmyphone.com will neither obtain the holder as they buy from Brodit SE ?
I paid 106 USD for a Brodit Honda CRV clip + holder for my TytnII, and I do not complaint about the fricking price for 2 pieces of plastic , but at least I and many others hope on a good - quick - service.
Just my two cents.
I've the Universal carkit of HTC. I sale him. So contact me with a pm!!

Brodit passive Holder:
Item no. 848843
HTC Touch Diamond For all countries
Brodit Active Holder
As I saw the active holder has arrived!
Check the brodit homepage!
Hi All,
I have been asked by a few users to post that Brodit have now prepared a full range of Diamond holders, and all are currently being manufactured with pre orders being taken to ensure delivery as soon as the 1st stocks arrive.
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/Holder/HTC+Touch%20Diamond-Brodit-Holder.asp
The range available is:
1) Passive (no charging but you can plug in your own charging cable)
2) Active (charging via cig lighter lead moulded into the holder)
3) Active ( for fixed installation via open cable connection to vehicles Power supply)
4) 3 in 1 ( in essence a passive holder, but with a 40cm long 3 in 1 connection adapter to plug in your own charger lead, headset and audio out if required)
5) 3 in 1 ( as above, in essence a passive holder, but with a 3cm long 3 in 1 connection adapter to plug in your own charger lead, headset and audio out if required)
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions, ill try my best to respond;
Many Thanks

Guys,
This Herbert Richter holder comes without the arm right?
Can this holder be used with the arm that comes with the P3300/Cruise? (It's from Germany, and I don't know the name)
Coz I have P3300 arm which I used for the Cruise as well (just changed the holder). Really good arm, and I wish to continue using it with the diamond.
Thanks!

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 ?

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?

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.

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.

I've looked everywhere, but can't find a decent carkit/active-holder for my MDA Compact IV.

Hope so...

That's interesting and helpful. www.brodit.com certainly reckon they have an active kit for T-Mobile Compact IV, but after your post I checked to see if this was a different part No from HTC Diamond, and sadly it was not.
I was just about to order one too. Does it just not fit well, or not at all?
EDIT
Hang on a minute, what exactly are you saying.
On inspection of the part number 968843 or 971843 I can't for the life of me understand how the rounded corners would make any difference.
From their website
Item no. 968843 fits:
HTC P3700 For all countries
HTC Touch Diamond For all countries
O2 XDA Diamond For all countries
O2 XDA Ignito For all countries
T-Mobile MDA Compact IV For Europe
Some more feedback from you would be really helpful

Not at all! The salesman (at the pdashop.nl in The Netherlands) tried to place my MDA Compact IV into the Brodit active holder, but it wouldn't fit at all...

I'm not looking for an argument here, and I fully understand that you went to pdashop.nl and the salesman could not get the Compact IV to fit, but is there the slightest chance that the salesman did not have the diamond/compact IV active holder (in other words the htc diamond would not have fitted either.).
I understand that the compact iv has rounded edges, but I believe the USB terminal is in the same place. I also believe that they are the same thickness and width. The design of the Brodit (of course I'm just looking at a web picture) does not indicate that rounded corners could cause the problem.
I have not compared diamond to compact iv side by side, but in your opinion where was the problem. I can only think it must be the side holders.

On the box, I saw that the brodit holder was for the Touch Diamond, there was also a dummy of the Touch Diamond in that store, and I held my MDA Compact IV next to it. The back is so much different. Everything on the Compact IV is rounded and maybe just a little thicker...
From the specs
TM Compact IV 101 x 52 x 12
HTC Diamond 102 x 51 x 11
I have spoken to the following company in the UK
http://www.dsldevelopments.com
They assure me that the HTC Diamond brodit kit is fine for the TMobile Compact IV. They actually fit a comparable phones into the cradle prior to offering the unit on their website.
I mentioned your issue and they said that normally when this kind of thing happens, one would find that the unit itself was faulty. Apparently the cradle itself is hand finished [his words not mine] and sometimes a rogue unit can be manufactured. So his belief is that the diamond would also not fit into that actual unit.
From the specs on the previous post I would be almost certain that a tolerance of 1mm would not be the issue.
Anyway, the company above do export,and the cost of a telephone conversation should not be too expensive. Call and speak with a guy called Dave or Alan (sorry I can't remember).
However I suggest you go back to pdashop.nl and try another unit.
Hope this matter will be resolved. I can't quite make up my mind which fixture to choose yet, so I am not in a position to order.
However if mine does not fit, I have been promised full refund.

THANKS a lot!
I will go back to the pdashop.nl to try other active Brodit holders and let you all know the results!
anyone know a cheap site to get these from? i priced it up and it's gonna be like £45 with the car mount also, and this was from http://www.dsldevelopments.com
I ordered the Brodit proclip from Morpethmobiles for £14.95 delivered and the Brodit passive holder from www.qfonic.com for £16.95, both prices included delivery
The holder is for the Diamond as I couldn't find a dedicated mdac4 one, but reading around the consesus is that it they are the same
I'm just waiting delivery. Morpethmobiles has taken a while, but then again they have probably been under water for a week!
just ordered this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-Touch-Dia...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
I've got a Carcomm CMPC-129 MOBILE SMARTPHONE CRADLE HTC TOUCH DIAMOND P3700. It fits perfectly for my MDA Compact IV.
http://www.carcomm.nl/carcomm/websh...ProductId=57F3F689-5056-8659-086FE80C261B4BB7
hey there, any chance of a pic of your compact iv in the cradle?
I'm not doubting you at all its just i'd like to see how it fits in and relate that back to the promo pic you posted with the diamond in to see the difference.
Thanks

I bought a Brodit car cradle with 3 in one adapter that fits my O2 Ignito perfectly. Got mine from Expansys UK but there are a number of websites that sell it, just google it for the best price.
On the Brodit.se website there is 2 different versions of the passive holder:
848843 - this looks like the standard 'Diamond' holder
848862 - this looks similar to the 'MDA compact IV' as its also got rounded corners on the phone!
I recommend car holders from German company Herbert Richter. Everything is made in Germany si you can expect quality to be great. There's a wide selection of suck mounts with replaceable dedicated mounts. This way I've had the same holder since vario II. plus Touch Diamond dedicated holder is a good fit for compact IV. You can get them on eBay or from expansys.
a nice one if you want your MDA compact IV in landscape mode.
from Ebay
I have used HR-parts on my previous PDAs as well. While HR does not provide holders for every device on the market, what they offer is of good build quality and works just fine.
They have been a long-time OEM-supplier for HP/Navigon-bundles.
Have fun!

Hi,
Has anyone purchased a car mount for their desire?
My Desire should hopefully arrive tomorrow and I'm trying to get some accessories for it! The car kit is fairly essential, I have the bluetooth radio that supports A2DP so I'm very excited!
Could anyone recommend a decent car mount?
I have a suction one for my N95 but I think I'd rather one that clips into one of the vents.
I`m waiting for Brodit to release one for the desire, supposed to be soon.
I used their active kit for my G2/Hero and its good. Easy to fit into your car, took 5mins, you have to buy depending on your make/model and where you want it mounted.
Look at the 'Desire Accessories':
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/trailblazer-universal-car-charger-and-holder-p22954.htm
Had it for several days... its cheap £9.99 and holds the phone and charges it as well! Delivery is megaquick too.
I read somewhere that the nexus one brodit is supposed to work with the desire - who's brave enough to try it now!?

My Desire should hopefully arrive tomorrow and I'm trying to get some accessories for it! The car kit is fairly essential, I have the bluetooth radio that supports A2DP so I'm very excited!
Could anyone recommend a decent car mount?
I have a suction one for my N95 but I think I'd rather one that clips into one of the vents.

Brodit have told me its imminent and to check the website for release (dsldevelopments dot com) within 14 days.
I've used them for years, just replacing the holder on the mount for each new phone.

Silly question, but wont the Brodit Mobile Phone Active Holder Tilt Swivel for Nexus One be ok for the Desire? It's on the dlsdevelopments website.

Ask brodit theyre fast at resonding. I`d say it might not work as the connections might not align up. I`d try and wait a few weeks for the desire one
to appear.

I emailed them and they said it wouldnt fit due to the clearance being 0.1mm
We're out of stock of Nexus One - but we get some I will test it.
Desire Brodit are on the site coming soon - but there is no date.

Really liked the look of this but I have an Audi A3 and the car cigarette lighter is housed within the ashtray about 3 inches from the outer dashboard. I doubt the trailblazer will fit.
Also it looks like the holding parts would go right over the volume controls on the Desire like it does on the HD2.
MINI WEIGHTED CUSHION FRICTION MOUNT with UNIVERSAL HOLDER for MOBILES SMART PHONES MP3 (SKU 5043)
I have just ordered this one for my desire, wanted something that wasnt a sucker mount and I dont like the airvent mounts, I also wanted something that meant that I could turn the desire from horizontal to vertical very easily without having to dismantle the device or struggle in doing so, lastly I wanted something that meant I could easily fit into another car quickly if i needed it, found this and it seems to fit the bill nicely, I have read up on the reviews on this mount with a garmin attatchment and they have all come back hugely favourable, love the fact that if i wanted to add another phone to the mount in the future all i have to do is to buy another back plate instead of the entire mount. was sceptical at first haven never seen a friction dash mount before but after reading the reviews and watching the video on the link i have provided and it only being £18.32 inc delivery i thought why not, will post up when i have received it and let you know how it is

I have ordered the Nexus Brodit mount and it in fact does not fit as the Desire is 0.5mm wider and thicker.
So i have now ordered the Desire one from morpethmobiles.co.uk and should be receiving early next week so will post some pics

As I have said here, I think they may be selling the Nexus mount as the Desire mount.
i suspect that aswell because i talked to brodit directly 3/4 days ago and they said it should take at least 2 weeks for the holder to be available.
<START RANT>
It annoys me some shops are selling Nexus accessories as Desire ones - like this dock and also Clove are marketing the Proporta Alu Leather case for both the Nexus and the Desire.
If Brodit and Proporta think it necessary to redesign their accessories to fit the Desire, shops shouldn't be selling the Nexus versions as if they were designed for the Desire. I am sure Brodit and Proporta would have been delighted if their existing accessories would fit as they would increase their market without all the new R&D costs.
I would be very annoyed if I bought something as designed specifically for the Desire, only to find in a few weeks that the manufacturer had brought out a version that really was designed just for the Desire.

Android newbie here, hello
I'm waiting for my Sensation to arriwe and I've tried to find webshop which sells charcheable car holder designed for Sensation, but haven't found one yet I've previously used Brodi's holder with my N900, but they don't have one for Sensation yet.
Any good ideas where to point my browser? Thanks in advance

HTC has it´s own charging car dock for this phone, as a original accessory, so get one from a htc dealer.

I also mailed to Brodit Sweden asking info about Sensation holder, but got no reply yet. Brodit would be the best solution for me as I don't want to stick anything to the windshield and don't want to drill any screws to my car's interior. I also have the car specific adapter for my car already where I can mount any brodit holder.
Brodit is of course a good choice too, specially if you have the base part already installed.
Dock for my nexus came with the kind of sticky platter to be placed on the dashboard, to which the suction cup took it's contact. It was quite good solution too.
The Brodit mount I had for my HD2 was perfect and I will wait for the sensation one as I have the car mount already and just need the phone mount.
I sit mine in my old HD2 mount for now... but cant wait for it to released!

Try www.expansys.com (or .nl). They sell the original HTC car holder.

I don't currently own a Sensation, but isn't the charger connection on the side of the phone? How's that gonna look/work? Having the phone in landscape is not something i would be fond of.
The brodit clip+holder for the HD2 still works like a charm for me. Hope the sensation one will be just as good, since it's kinda holding me from getting one now.

Just look on brodit for the Active Holder for HTC Wildfire S
That's how it will looks for the sensation
That's a bit of a bummer, just doesn't look good :x
Well, Brodit passive holder for the Sensation has been launched, so I'm guessing active holder won't be far behind.
