I mentioned in another thread that Easy Devices have docks on pre-order for the Desire, the only place I have so far found any - with or without a second battery slot and with or without an additional battery, including an enhanced one with new back. Look at my previous post for the links to the four types.
I placed an order myself for a dock with the bay for the second battery.
Easy Devices picked up on my post and have asked me to pass on a free delivery offer.
"We have decided to offer free delivery on all orders of the Desire Cradle with 2nd battery slot or cradle bundles placed from XDA Developers forum members for orders placed with us before 23rd of April. Could you post and advise the forum? We have amended your order with free delivery and will ship goods as soon as stock arrives. We have been advised that stock should be with us at the end of this month.
Can you ask them to either e-mail [email protected] with their order number and say that they came from XDA developers or to post in the comments box when placing the order."
Any questions about the offer should be made to Easy Devices.
I'm not sure all options are on the same timetable so you may want to check with them first if you are going for a different option.
Just to emphasise I have no connection with Easy Devices, other than as a customer, but it is always nice when sellers offer a special deal to XDA members.
Very nice and generous offer of them, though I do prefer to only other when things are either in stock, or a firm delivery date is known...
Anyone bought from these?

u might want to pm "hasanybodyseenjc", he says he works for morpeth mobiles...well he just joined tho and only got 1 post lol......
just try and see if you any reply
I've bought a few things from Morpeth Mobiles in the past through eBay. If I remember right the contact was Chris (might be wrong there!)
It was years ago, but they were fine each time I used them, with quick and well priced delivery.
Hopefully they are still the same several years on
Oh yeah, I don't work for them and I am a bit of a veteran here. I hope that makes my comments more valid
My guess from the photo is that they have the same supplier as Easy Devices, where it is cheaper and post free. Haven't read the reviews on Morpeth myself, but if they have a bad reputation, then I would avoid them.
I've bought a few things from them for myself & for my work.
We had an issue with 2 cheap Nokia chargers ( we bought the really cheap ones ) and they replaced both with decent nokia branded one.
Very helpful.
Pre-ordered from Easy Devices and hopefully will get free P&P
I wonder if phones with a skin will still fit in the dock? (looks quite snug) or phones withan extended back for larger battery too?

I think the photo cannot be taken too literally as I doubt the final manufacture has been made. I am hoping that the Barely There case, mentioned in another thread, will fit in the dock. I hope Casemate agree to make it, in which case I will order one.

I have the same problem, I already wrote directly to Toshiba, and wrote off that I can not help it, never want toshiba, what is too mobile to which the cap can not be bought anywhere
I just spoke to the Toshiba UK customer care team and they said they would send me one free of charge. My original is pretty clean but has a tiny hairline crack in one corner. Toshiba UK are absolutely fantastic and very helpful

I had the same problem for months, I found dead TG01 on allegro, talked with seller and bought it for 40 zł.
I think you can talk with someone here to order one (or two) and send it to you, it can be sent in a normal letter so you won't pay much for it.
If you find someone who is willing to help (and would be able to get two covers), please notify me (through PM) I would also be interested in getting one so we can split shipping costs (50:50).
Well my brand new back cover turned up today free of charge and as a bonus a brand new 8GB micro SD card was included free of charge, as I mentioned that my original Toshiba card was very slow to load files onto. Toshiba UK are absolute stars in my opinion
If anyone is interested yesterday I ordered a Zagg Invisible shield for my Desire. £14.63 free delivery from here:
http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/AZJ37/-EV-HTC-Desire-Invisible-Shield&cat=627
Does show a pic of Nexus One but was assured by guy on the phone it's for the Desire. Will post how I get on fitting it late tomorrow (if it arrives
I'd be quite interested to see how this works / how good it actually is when you get it.
I would also be very interested to see if it is indeed a Zapp for the Desire and how it fits. I always like to protect my devices from scratches.
Funny that the ZAGG website doesnt have it... thought they are the manufacturer?
Hey guys, i run Morpeth Mobiles and just wanted to let you know that i received my own Desire late this afternoon and have found that it is indeed different to the Nexus one protector. We do now have some Desire specific protectors on order to arrive next week but there will be a delay with any orders already placed. Just wanted to give you a heads up really. If anyone wants to cancel an order please either reply to your order e-mail or send me a message and i will reply directly.
My apologies and thanks for your understanding

I would recommend clearprotector as they use same material with same lifetime
warranty but for less $$ ( I used both)
Their screen protector will be available within 2 weeks
We arent sending any protectors out until we have the actual desire ones in stock. Everyone who has purchased one already will receive an update e-mail on Monday and we will add a pre order notice to the site with expected delivery date. We have already received notification that the desire specific protector is in production and the turnaround from Zagg is usually very quick.
Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I got a 40% off code. Now trying to decide between ordering the full body or the maximum coverage option. They are the same price so surely going maximum coverage is more sensible? Are the front and back pieces the same in both kits?

I have just received an email from Mobilefun telling me I will not be getting the car mount I pre-ordered as it is now discontinued. I am not sure whether we should be worried or not that the official Samsung official mount for our few month old phones is now not going to be available. I have never seen a product discontinued before it was even sold.
Most peculiar. I've been checking around here too, no accessory to be found. Really need a car mount.
WTF!?!?!? That is kind of scary. I havent even had the chance to think about getting the "official" accessories as of yet and to hear something like this now???
Perhaps someone can confirm with Samsung and find out what the deal is on this?
I had the same with the carmount available on meritline... weird eh!
I've ordered the exact same of eBay though... kinda weird!
I won't argue with the mods but surely this is a news story not just an accessories one?
This is the one I ordered. Where on eBay did you find one?

It's a real nice car kit.
The Brodit ones not bad but neither of them really appeals to me. I wanted one I could just clip the SGS into and it would be screen mounted and powered. No messing with wires or anything. I have tried to email Samsung about it but I am not holding onto any hope of a reply.
I bought one of the spider foot screen mount and it came with a car charger, leather pouch and a laynard. I was that impressed with it that I bought a second for my friend!

I got the same one, do you ever have trouble getting the phone out of the holder? My clip seems to be very stubborn and always catches on the backplate of the phone, just wondering if you had the same problem
Thought I would share with you what the higher ups in Samsung have to say about this.
My (continuing) Question
To: Executive Office
Subject: Re: Car dock
- Hide quoted text -
Thank you again for your reply.
I think you are misunderstanding and that we are not making progress so I will try to explain again. Last year Samsung announced the Car and Media dock for the Samsung Galaxy S. Retailers began to advertise them for sale and to order them from yourselves. Two months later the retailers were told by Samsung that they were discontinued. This was before ANY had been delivered to the retailers and as I have said only two months after they had been announced. The retailers then contacted their customers, myself amongst them, and informed us of this. I have been trying ever since to get an answer from yourselves as to why this line had been discontinued in all countries apart from the USA market just two months after they were announced and before any had been sold except those sold in the USA. A greater part of the 10 million+ Galaxy S phones sold were not sold to the USA market yet that market is the only one that has these promised accessories available. If you cannot provide an answer would you now raise this enquiry to the next tier please.

Click to collapse
The answer
Good afternoon Mr Pitman
The reason why the unit won’t be available in any of the Samsung subsidiaries is due to sales and marketing reasons. As a manufacture of many products, sometimes a product that is closed to being released can be stopped due to the market for that product changing and to this reason the product can become discontinued.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide you any other information regarding this product as we only handle the aftercare service of a product that has been fully released, nor can we advise who the best contact for your query is.
I can advise you to write a letter to the following address: Samsung Mobile, Samsung House, 1000 Hillswood Drive, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 0PS, I cannot guarantee that they will response quickly but you query will be looked into be that team.

Well, thats a gilbert answer... Gadgetization is androids weakest spot. And what gadgets and bling there is, well its fairly low quality.
This is iPhone's main advantage. One design and a forest of 3rd party manufacturers that have grown out of their garages and become professional suppliers.
There would be a huge upside for Samsung/HTC/Sony to mimic this by setting up their own production lines to mimic that market. I guess the problem is no one in house is willing to risk their neck and the people that sit on the money don't understand this part of the iPhone world.
I don't want to use both hands while attaching the device to a car mount - so 3rd party accessories are no-go.
I ordered an original T959 Vibrant car mount for my international i9000: http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=48828&cat=5138
They ship nearly worldwide. It's 10 days ago and I am still waiting for its arrival.
You guys should do the DIY one from this thread, I did it and it is amazing, it looks so good, and holds the phone really nice.

Dirt cheap too, for a custom mount the whole thing cost me maybe 10 bucks at the most, including the epoxy.

So did you get your mount yet? Does the Vibrant mount work (properly) with the i9000?
Hi,
the first order was lost, so they sent another one, which arrived in 5 days or something like that.
Yes, it works as designed.
Snap it in, push the USB to the phone (the small box at one end of the mount) with one finger, that's it.
The phone detects immediately that it is a car mount and if you have installed the car app it starts also without delay.

Same thing here with desk dock (original as far as I can say) bought in Poland on Ebay-ish website. Samsung's app downloaded from xda (it's here around somewhere) jumps in the moment I connect the phone. Have problems with line-out though, but I'm on custom ROM so maybe that's the problem.
Nevertheless it really looks like S is making monkeys out of us.

aha i keep mentioning this everywhere...i dont work for them...i havent even had mine come yet...i'm hoping for it to come tomorrow...the main advantage for me is not having to take it out of the case!
the thing which annoyed me most about my Touch HD and the car holder was it kept peeling off the InvisibleShield from the back of my phone
@insty - I got it to quote to Australia.....(change country suitably, for 'state' the last option is something like "non-USA/Other)
@silencer - what, you're 30kg and lack the muscle to handle the combined mass of 189GRAMS of the phone/case? I'd consider the extra 5x6x5mm dimensions worthwhile for decent exterior protection. Get over it.
Ended up with a quote of $44 inclusive of postage, 10% discount and exchange rate.
Too bad I have birthday/anniversary presents coming up; waiting on back-pay and will jump on this straight away .
Looking forward to a proper review on it, not that I'm expecting much different to the usual Otterbox reviews/praise.
Tried to order one through Otterbox's website, but they don't like my address, even with the Australia/Non-US state chosen.
So I'll wait for it to turn up on ebay.

yeah I also see the 4 lines, everyone knows how much hassle they are when you order off of their website. It will commonly say still processing even after it had been delivered.

How long does it usually take to ship? I ordered on 11/8, and as of right now it still says "processing" and "not shipped". Their shipping chart says it should only take 4 days. Well that's today, and I don't have it. I emailed them, but like you said also, no reply. I was already charged too. The very next day. They take the money, but then that's it.

Have they?
Home dock, car dock, entended power case, TV out cable - I see none of those promised accessories, which is especially annoying since the docks were included in the advertisement, and part of the reason why I bought this phone.
Is this something that Samsung does on a often basis? Should I just forget about getting any official Samsung accessories (for any future phone release by Samsung)?

I have a thread about this elsewhere. The short answer is. No they have not. In fact they have made them obsolete before they even went on sale.
I emailed support about them and they told me Samsung do not produce these and they are available from third party retailers. I emailed back their advert and they expressed surprise and said they would contact head office S/Kor. Never heard anything since....
My order for an extended battery pack and desk dock has been put back twice.
I just find lots of retailers have either removed the listing altogether, or list it as 'discontinued' when I haven't heard of a single one shipping anywhere.
I'm really pissed off about this false advertising.
They sold millions of these phones, and for once I actually wanted to buy official docs for them so they fitted properly and the power plug clipped in for you instead of messing about with a separate cable.
Great. I guess it's time to give up all hopes.
Btw, it seems like the desk home app doesn't work on froyo. I keep getting force close, and I can no longer find it on the market.

Samsung really should be sued for false advertizing. Showing Apps and Accessories that still do not exist half way during the products life cycle is a farce of epic proportions. I wish someone would just start a class action already.
this what you expect from samsung i had a galaxy spice and thought i will go with samsung one more time and got a galaxy s i thought its going its going to take the world by storm it has with all the lies about the phone and accessories that will never get released... they even update it to froyo and its still got bugs..i get told to root it and lag fix it but i shouldnt have with a phone like this...
May be if you had a look on their korean website for Anycall brands...
Sometimes there are lots of gems in there..something i couldn't do with my nokia....as Koreans simply do not use Nokia...thus the lack of support for korean input etc~~
Glad I got SGS ^^
I ordered a Samsung desktop Dock from MobileFun in September - this morning I got a Samsung Battery Charger with spare battery which doubles as a desktop stand (even though I never ordered one.
I'm not complaining - I was going to get a spare battery anyway so this is fair enough - pity that the Home Dock app has disappeared though I found a free "digital clock" app that can go really dim so I'm happy.
Here's the clock app I've found to be REALLY dim...

It seems as if you can buy a desktop dock at Samsung US. At least one should be compatible.

It is available in the apps section but the music player does not work from it unless you install the USA version one and to do that you need root.
