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

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

For those who didn't buy Brando or Ora dock (Expansys), wich are same thing.
DON'T BUY IT!!! It does fin but not straight. You need to find the connector. I'm comparing with TyTN original dock, that fits perfectly!!!
Expansys and ORA Cradle with 2-nd battery slot
I bought it from Exapansys. The battery slot didn't charge the battery at all. I sent it back (they refunded me the shipping back) and sent me a second one. Guess what: it too didn't work. The same problem: dead battery compartment.
Take care !

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.

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.

Good Cheap Battery For HTC Diamond

Im not sure If this will help for some of the guys here but I found a site that sells really cheap battery for HTC Diamond Li-Ion 900mAh. I bought 2 of them and so far the delivery is fast took 2 days and so far I have no complaints on the battery performance.
http://www.cellphoneshop.net/diamondbattery.html
wow, $10US! thats cheap
ordered two also, let's hope it's an ok site, never heard of them before.
I've just ordered one...I hope you were right; 5$ shipping to the UK
I am using one, it is fine, just a small bit bigger than the original one and was tight inserting it into the non-HTC cradle when compared to the HTC battery, but fits diamond perfectly.
Why go for that when you can get it from dealextreme for only $6.99 including delivery!

Just wonder how they sold the battery at such price but with profit? Think the safty and pollution point before giving your money for such nice deal.

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.

(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

[Q] Anywhere to get the Google Desktop charger?

I'll I can find is 3rd party accessories, except for expensive ones on ebay.

The worst part is the crossed-out $99.99 next to the price, as if it was ever sold for that much.
There are laws against that kind of thing in some countries - that is, saying something is on sale when it isn't.

It should be whatever they can get. if it doesn't sell, they're charging too much and the price will drop. And materials aren't the only costs that go into developing the product
Desk Docks, good to go
I can part with my dock.
mint, used two times... or less. (i love my casemate)
still have the box and everything.
yours for $50 --i had to pay CA tax or, exchange for a car dock in good condition.

Buy it, if you dont like it send it back. Or sell it on eBay: here in Germany they sell for more than the HTC Shop pricing (57€ on htc shipping incl., ebay 60-70€)

The phone connects by bluetooth to the dock for audio, which is why there's a 3.5mm jack on the back of the phone without a connection to the nexus's audio port.
