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

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
Hi everyone,
I bought a portable power source several days ago via Internet, and to be honest, this power source is really nice.
This power kit, which owns a capability of 2200mAh, is packed by 'dopod' (a company that affiliated to hTC), and it can force your phone to using its power as priority when it is plugged in.
BTW, the output port is mini USB, that means this power source not only can be used as Diamond's backup battery, but also can be applied to any kind of devices that supports miniUSB charging. Cheers!
Lifetron LT-005
Bought 2 weeks ago this one:
Lifetron LT-005
http://www.lifetrons.ch/Products/Products-MultiplePowerSystem.htm
4800mAh 5V output and really small. 85mm x 25mm x 40mm
I used it to keep my PSP, my Diamond and my IPod alive on my last business trip.

where can you buy this?
edit: found it already. 129 USD, quite expensive!
I would rather buy this one: http://www.just-mobileonline.com/products_chargerseries_9.html, only 400 mAh less, and also small! (70mm x 52mm x 22mm)
Has anyone experience with it? Or does anyone know a better deal?
All look good but for sheer value and ease of use, I bought this from my local branch of maplins
£3 !!!!!!!
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=222899
Uses standard AA or rechareable AA's to power/ charge your diamond

I have the Proporta solution. http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4393&t_mode=des

And I found another Solar-Energy external power source....
solar charger
just got one of these and I will test it for a few days
http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00673
I just got a PowerPal (another AA battery device) as an emergency solution, should be handy for camping trips too.
I went into Jessops in York today (UK camera shop) and found they were doing Energizer Ultimate Lithium 4-packs for £3.91. If you believe their PDF datasheet, they have way more power than an alkaline battery under larger current draws.
How about this by Energizer...

Another one I am going to be investing in before CES this year is a Callpod FuelTank... 4300mAh battery plus the ability to charge 2 items at once....
http://www.callpod.com/products/fueltank
I've been using the callpod dragon (first and second gen) for sometime with great success... I love it.... no chargepod in my car, but thinking about it soon....
How about this one? Found it at expansys while looking for external battery solutions....

Would the kind people of xda offer me a bit of info for in car chargers please.
There seems to be a few different styles on ebay, i was wondering if anyone could tell me which ones are genuine htc ones and which arnt?
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=...charger&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Thanks
or could someone let me know which shops sell the genuine ones for a decent price?
thanks
Only go for an ebay listing which clearly states CC-C200 as the model number.
Mobile phones direct (google it). I had it as a gift with my desire.
Apparently fake chargers won't charge the phone if e.g using it as say nav. Mine is fine and can't moan about it. I think price is about 14 quid

or the C300 if you want dual USB slots so you can charge 2 phones at once.
PS. the C200 (with a miniUSB cable) also comes as standard on the HTC Cruise 2009 version.
Desire Charger
Hi, after buying a charger from ebay that was as much use as none at all, i just bought a micro usb charger from tesco @£3.99 no waiting for delivery and it is fantastic, i really need sat nav (in the emergency services) and use my desire to get where i need to be. The tesco one is great. hope this helps
For those of you that dont know about the site Dealextreme, its chock full of cheap Chinese made gadgets and gizmos, and lots of knockoff name brand stuff. I just received one of the best car chargers ive ever had for my phone from the site, and the best part is it was only $2.80 shipped. The cord retracts into the body to keep clutter down that you get with the $30 charger from Best Buy.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/car-ch...-for-samsung-i9000-dc-12-24v-75cm-cable-54537
I ordered two, one for my girlfriends HTC, and unsurprisingly one of them came with a damaged cable (insulation was peeled off). Though after sending them a picture, theyre sending me a new one at no cost. I ordered a similar one for my Nokia E72 a few months ago which worked well. As well as a retractable 4 in 1 AC charger (Nokia, mini and micro USB, and iPhone all spliced into one cable) to keep at the shop for about $4. Its all cheap Chinese made crap, but still a great value.
I dont work for the site, just sharing what i though was a great find.
that website is ok, but the quality of their item is relatively poor. There are only a few items that have decent quality.
Yes if one out of two was falling apart when you got it that doesn't speak well for it lasting very long.
$2.80 dude
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I use this one for all my MicroUSB needs. For under $5 shipped, it's amazing, looks nice (the circle is glass that lights up blue), and "name brand" I suggest this one over a $3 cheaply made one.
I just use one of these:

nice and compact and i can charge any USB device from it, put's out enough amps to even charge my wifes ipad....
