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.

Thanks for that, I will keep my eye on their site.
These look really nice, will keep an eye out for those coming on sale.
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

I'm after a Nexus One car dock, the 100% genuine article.
Problem is I'm based in France so can't get one through Google and don't want to use Ebay.
I can't find anyone who stocks them so just wondering if anyone on here knows of a source.
Thanks in advance.
Wait for a bit. The Nexus One will hit stores soon, apparently, and I'm assuming the accessories will come with it, and, if not, I heard a rumor that the HTC website will be selling Nexus accessories too. I have the car dock, and the only thing I don't like about it is the built in speaker quality, other than that, it's brilliant. Well, and the fact that I have to take my case off in order to get it to fit, but I have to do that with my bedside charger dock as well.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll have to wait.
The 3.99 euro mount I got in the local supermarket does the job and it was the speakers that was the real seller for me so if they're not up to much waiting won't kill me.
I used this mob to get my nexus one and the car dock over to Australia.
Don't know if they ship to france, but they probably do. All you do is sign up(free) you get an address with them, ship the dock to the address and they will ship it to you, they don't seem to charge commission, i think they get a discount with DHL and charge you regular price. so it seems a pretty good deal.

Sweet, thanks for the tip.
Any one seen any nice car holders, I like the look of the brodit ones but I dont think they have updated their range yet.
Been using Brodit for a while now, love the custom mounts they do for almost every car on the road. Still waiting on the i9000 holder, but imagine it will be similar to their i5700 one, just getting a little impatient now, they are normally quicker than this at putting out new holders.
I received this from Brodit support yesterday:
Hi!
Thank for the interest in our products.
We have this under construction so please check our web for updates.
As soon as the holders are ready we have this ready it will be on our web.
But due to summer vacation we can’t say any clear date.
Best Regards

So I guess it will still take some time ...
there's someone on ebay with 3 different models, ranging from $10.74 to $13 (vent mount, and two different windshield mounts - one of which appears to be very similiar to the OEM one samsung australia dealers are displaying, ie it will mount to driver's door window as well)
but the ebay seller's prices include shipping from Hong Kong - they're specific to the i9000, so i figured at the price, i'd grab one till Tmo USA had theirs up
his do not include any charger but as ive already got a Tmo car charger, i'm good to go for now
From Brodit:
Thank you for the mail.
We hope to release holders for this in the middle of August.

For now, I've 'modified' my Brodit HD1 holder to fit my Galaxy S. Which seems to work ok. Just wish the GPS was a bit more accurate at times.

The Galaxy S is light enough to stay put by itself on the Dash Genie. Though I found that the charging cable can pull on it and eventually un-stick it. I have to ensure the cable stays put and in the right position. It's not the bends that matter, more the potholes. And if you have to touch it it's fiddly. Neat idea, but would not buy it again.
i ordered ths one from ebay - it's specific to the i9000 - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190409500795&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
figured i'd use it till Tmo came out with the Samsung OEM unit here in the states - but after seeing the price for the Samsung unit on techbuy in australia (iirc either $79 or $89 AUD) i might just stay with this one
same seller on ebay has another for a couple bucks more that looks real similiar to the samsung one techbuy has pictured on their web - it looks like it will turn a full 180 degrees in the horizontal plane so you could mount it on the driver's door window -
and he has a 3rd unit that is meant for vent mounting
Try Arkon.
Look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YulhYNgR6EM
Here is their website:
http://www.arkon.com/Smartphone_Holder.php
The company is based in the US.
I'm interested to here feedback on the dash genie http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dash-Genie-Ph...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2eae0d02b1 does the phone securely stick to the holder (i.e the phone doesnt fall out when cornering hard)? - Does it work aswell in landscape as portrait? Is the red dot on the holder simply a magnet (does that affect signal or GPS?) ? - From the video on the auction it looks brilliant - I drive a 1 series similar to the one in the video too - so I know it will work on my dash

I actually received it today. First impresson: cheap but well designed. It comes with a little stick on mount so you can also stick the thing to your dash instead of the windscreen. The clamp is spring loaded so it can fit the phone even if it's in a case. I like it.

yeah - it'll do fine
definitely strong enough, grip wise on the unit - in fact a little too tight, so i dremel'd out the lower capture points to give it a little relief in the vertical axis (vertical when the holder is in "landscape" position
the mechanical action on the locking cam (that locks the suction cup) feels good, real solid
and the mechanical action on the capture nut that tightens on the ball socket is actually impressive - pretty infinitely adjustable, easy to find that sweet spot where the ball socket is stiff enough to hold the phone at the angle / position you want, while not letting the holder move or shift, plus with the wgt of the vibrant so light, it's not inclined to
I want the official car dock... simple right?
Problem is that I live in Canada, HTC won't ship it here or to a mailbox on their side of the border. They require a US credit card or whatever. Is there any way to get these from elsewhere?
Try the usual suspects...
My recommendation is that you try to get it used from either Amazon or Ebay, I don't think that you have any other options.
I don't have the original dock, as my car has integrated bluetooth, but I bought this car mount: Kensington Windshield /Vent Car Mount with Quick-Release Cradle for iPhone/iPod touch. Yes, I know what it says, but it works perfectly with the N1, especially if you have a case and don't want to take your phone out of it every time you get in your car.
As far as a car charger, you need to get this: Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter MicroUSB Rapid Rate Charger, there is no other charger that works better than this, and it is actually very cheap (US$ 5.49). It will actually charge your phone while using navigation, with GPS and bluetooth active, and full screen brightness, that's how good this charger is.
I actually modded the mount so it will hold the cable, I will try to post a picture later on.
I hope that this helps.
I really want the official dock as it has speakers and hookups for 3.5mm so I can listen to music from my phone.
ebay, I tried that. I don't want to pay $200 for a car dock. They are so over priced on there. Amazon.com doesn't ship most of their stuff to canada, however I did find it on there (thanks). I will try purchasing one of these and see what happens.
In the US does HTC have a store you can walk into to buy this dock? I find it doubtful but I'm going on vacation in the US next week, thinking maybe I could pick one up...
No store...
No, HTC doesn't have stores in the US at all. I know that a few months ago, some T-Mobile stores were carrying some of the N1 accessories, but I think that that is a very long shot. If you are coming here, I would recommend that you order it from HTC and have it express mailed to wherever you will be staying, that should solve your problem. Good luck.
Except for how they don't take Canadian credit cards...
You can have mine for $60 (the price I paid after tax) + shipping. Do you want the desktop dock too?
http://www.comgateway.com/CGW/com.comgateway.cgw.Home.do?4403cgtyxsd=VCcJgLeKfUPpJXO8/HboxjXm14w=
I used these guys to get my Nexus one to Australia. They are a mail forwarding company. they don't even charge you a commission over and above normal shipping afaik, they get a special deal with DHL and make money on the difference.
As for the credit card, mine worked when i put my normal address for the street, but put a US state as the state.

Thanks a lot for the thread jack. I've been trying to find one of these for months.
I looked at Play.com and found the official HTC dock for the sensation.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...n-CR-S490-Desktop-Cradle/Product.html?cur=258
£23 is a bit steep for a dock. The Kidigi dock is £18 plus it has a batter charger.
Thoughts on the official dock?
I like it, always prefer to use OEM stuff than 3rd party so might look into getting this
I wonder if this is the same dock as the one on the bell site. Although the bell dock for the sensation hasn't officially launched yet either. Can anyone confirm?
Looks like there's a button on the top left corner. Says video. Perhaps this dock launches dock mode?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
I would assume so
Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Desktop-Cradle-S490-Sensation/dp/B0055HXNI4
No button though.
I want this. I emailed HTC last week about an OEM dock and they said they couldn't provide any info.
I hope it is released in the US soon. After having the dock for my N1 for so long, I'm really missing it.
play.com says the release date is Aug 1, let's hope that the US release date is the same. I'm definitely getting one.
Wow I want two !
So... It's Aug 1st and it's out of stock on play.com. Has anyone ordered one from any place?

I would suggest to take the KiDiGi Docking station instead. Looks better to me!
I bought two cheap arse docks on fleabay for $14 shipped each. When this gets released though I'd likely switch as I'm a huge fan of OE accessories. Fit, finish, function is always much improved. You get what you pay for I suppose.
such a poor design they could of easily had the gold dots for it would of been much better
In stock now at play.com! http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...=0&searchstring=htc+sensation&urlrefer=search
Anyone going for it?
Also available here: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=219003&phone=217480
I'd highly recommend OE. The eBay units I bought (no name) made my screen freak out when plugged in. If I use my own HTC charger with the no name cradle it's ok. However, the generic cradle doesn't have nice little cutouts for the volume rocker switch so you have to be careful placing it on the dock. Overall, I'd buy an HTC unit if they sold them in the US.
I'd buy it. But I have the kidigi dock. Disappointed it doesn't go into dock mode...

It's the kidigi one.
i picked up one of these at the local US t-mobile store and this dock is nice but it puts the phone in this really bright "dock" mode. I rather have the clock instead.
there is also a "video" button but no clue what it does. i left it depressed. I also got the car dock as well.
So I wanted to find a cheap car upgrade kit that was OEM but there didn't seem to be anything outside of $60 even on eBay. Then I stumbled on http://www.all4cellular.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=htc+sensation&cat=&x=0&y=0 after some random Google searching. Looked sorta shady at first but I placed an order for the OEM CUK and lo and behold, a couple days later, I got a genuine kit with an HTC box (with the $60 price tag!) for under 20 bucks. I noticed they have the OEM dock for cheap, as well as some other OEM related goodies.
Not sure if they ship internationally for you fine folks across the border/water. I can post pics when I get home from the library tonight if you guys want. Also, I checked seller ratings and the site seems reliable enough. I just wish this kit could be reassigned to open up a different app than HTC Nav
Sorry if this is a repost, I tried searching. If not, enjoy!
Unfortunately shipping to The Netherlands costs around 30 euros :'(

It sure can.
1) Remove the Htc Laputa and Location related apk's from /system/app (but do not delete the HtcLocationService!)
2) Remove the DockMode.apk, and replace it with a DockMode.apk from a T-MO RUU (or T-MO based rom)
3) Install the HtcCarPanel.apk
Done. Now when you dock, it will launch the lovely HTC Car Dock.
I know details are sketchy, but I can put up the necessary files if need be tomorrow.

Tried this but I maybe I didn't have the right files. HCP.apk wouldn't open after it was installed. Do I have to delete Laputa and Location or can I just freeze them?
Whoohoo - finally was able to afford the HTC car dock. Hopefully it comes, like the OP said, the reviews for the site are good, I also used paypal to check out so they didn't get my CC info.
Also use this coupon code for 5% off: a4c6a7
I wanted to update, I ordered the HTC car dock from these guys and received an incorrect item (they sent me a bluetooth headset, worth more on their site). I thought "oh great, I just got scammed."
I emailed them and the quickly responded with a new tracking number and paid return shipping for the bluetooth headset.
Anyway, if anyone is worried about ordering from these guys I can say, in my case, that they were very responsive. It sucks they had the mix up, but they did what they could to make it right (they even cross shipped, newegg doesn't even do that!).
And the OEM car dock is just what I was looking for. It's still not worth $60, but for $20 it's a steal.
Sweet find, just ordered to micro usb cables. Just to see if their good. All goes good I'm ordering that evo3d battery from there! lol 10% coupon btw.
Thanks for this dude, only wish they had the white battery cover for the sensation for $25 plus the 10% coupon? I would have brought it in a heartbeat.

ordered mine on the 22nd and received on the 27th (because of the postal holiday)
Ordered the car dock.. I have been wanting one of these ever since I got the S4G in June. $19.05 total after discount.
I hope it is robust as the car dock that I used with N1.
