Just ordered me one of those.
I hate universal holders and I hate passive holders. This seems like the best choice right now, since the official merchandise is still not in sight...

I have one. It works super. You'll be really happy with it.
Google is missing the boat huge on this car dock.
That's good to hear, MadFlava. I had one of those for my previous phone (Touch Diamond) and that one has served me perfectly too.
Installed mine yesterday. I love it. The cords are ugly but I'll work on that when I get a chance.
Yup, I have one and would recommend them too
Well, received mine today, and... my Nexus One does not fit??? It will not slide far enough over the micro-usb connection.... any of you guys experienced anything like this?
It does not charge now... and there's like 2mm of space left between the bottom of my Nexus One and the holder.. I've used force to some extent, but it just will not slide any further..

I'm new here so I can't post links but go to androidforums.com and search for the thread ProClip Mounting System. In there you'll find a guy (dbpaddler) that has a lot of knowledge about these mounts. He's a re-seller for Brodit I think. Tell him about your problem and maybe he can help.

Sounds very odd. Can you post us a few pictures of what's going on?
See attachment. The micro-usb connector in the holder is about 4.5mm high, but my Nexus One will only slide over it like for 2mm and then it feels like it is blocked by something. I've used force, but no movement whatsoever.
I find it strange too.. I don't see anything odd on the connector, nor on the female connector on my Nexus One. I guess I'll take it back to the store...
How odd. It looks like the connector is slightly left of centre, if you use the trackball to be centre... no jiggling will make it fit?
It may look a bit off-centre due to my photography skills, it looks okay in real life. Jiggling or forcing does not help unfortunately. Of course the connector that came with my Nexus One charger fits nicely, and I don't see any peculiarities when I compare it to the one on the Brodit.
Anyhow, I logged an issue with the webshop that I bought it from and they happen to have a brick-and-mortar store some 50km from here, so I may drop by to demonstrate my problem. Thanks for your help.
Do you have a body skin on the phone?
Nope, no skin. Going to the store later today to have the holder replaced, they think it may just be a faulty unit. Will keep you all posted.
Well, guess what.... just returned from the store, and the replacement holder that they offered had exactly the same problem. The sales guy was as astonished as I was. Personally he had not sold any of these, since the Nexus One is officially not available yet here in the Netherlands, so demand is minimal, but it makes me wonder if I'm really the only one with this problem, and whether my specific Nexus One could be the problem...
Anyway, he took mine back and I was fully refunded, so kudos for pdashop.nl.
Downside: still no carmount for me.
I have one too, it does fit but, I had to wiggle it a little bit to get it in......
It was not just straight forward. I will have a go tonight and see if it still play hard to get.
anyway once plugged, it worked fine for me.
We (both me and the sales guy in the store) used force and wiggled, but to no avail. Besides, I don't want a holder that needs wiggling in the first place. I want it to fit perfectly. That's why I do not buy a universal holder but a Nexus-specific one.
I got mine and it fits perfect.

Yeah update, just tried and fitted like a glove. must have loosen up
does the charger model charge the phone at 500ma or 1000ma? can someone with one check the settings and see if it says charging usb or ac?
The Site is not in english. how do you guys understand what information to fill out when ordering? also can you guys please post some pics? with the dock already in place? just wondering what its going to look like in my car.
Hi!
Since I held the Desire in my hands some days ago, I am concerned that in a years future it might suffer the same problem that I had with my old TyTN II: In the (TyTN's mini- as well as in the) micro-USB slot there is a piece of plastic that holds the copper pins. And that piece had gone off.
Only since I have my Desire, I think that one of the best things of the N1 is the additional contacts on the bottom which are uses for the docking station.
Has anybody heard, read or whatever of an adaptor for the N1 docking station for the Desire?
I'm interested in this also. I am still reading all the related threads here so i am sure I will eventually see this simple answer, but for now:
Does the Nexus One also use microUSB --- same as the Desire? Or does the Nexus One use miniUSB ?
This review of the Nexus One dock says it's miniUSB.
damn.

well yes i agree with you if you mean that the dock's output to the wall charger(which is located behind the dock, not the one used to connect the phone with the dock, it is the one to connect the dock to the wall charger) is using miniUSB port....for the dock from the link you've posted...
but for the Nexus One Phone's charging port, it's microUSB...
just to clarify some things as not to confuse others...

But if that's the case, then why can't we use the Nexus One dock with our Desires ?? So you have confused me!

oh sorry, i reread the link you posted and i realised that they are mistaken, it is not miniUSB for the output but indeed uses microUSB output(after i look carefully at the pictures on that website)
and why can't we use the nexus one dock??
just go to youtube.com and search for nexus one dock, the videos will show that inside the dock(the place where you place your phone in), DO NOT have a microUSB plug to connect the desire!!!
the only thing inside the dock is the 3 PINS which will only work for the nexus one because the nexus have the 3 HOLES for the pins!!
So without a microUSB plug inside the dock, the htc desire can't utilise the dock because htc desire doesn't have the 3 sexy HOLES

Three Sexy Holes -- sounds like a new screenplay for Lady Gaga but I wouldn't speculate.
Yes, I understand now, thank you for clarifying your clarification.
no problem.....
the 3 gorgeous holes were there on the htc desire prototype, but was excluded on the retail version....
3 holes that didnt make the cut.....
Hello guys. I'm wondering if any of you know of a case with a stand capability for watching movies but one that allows the 8.9 tab to sit upside down so I can shove a flash drive in it.. It would also be great if it had a lower angle for typing but this isn't really necessary.
I know it's a stretch but maybe one of you has been lucky and found one of these.
Thanks!
I have this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OBKDFQ/ref=oh_o03_s00_i03_details and believe it can do that just fine.
If I have to I can take pictures of it tomorrow with a usb dongle and thumb drive.

I personally just ordered this one Executive Roocase I had one for my iPad 2 I just sold and loved it. The tablet is put into a sleeve which has Velcro on the back so when you put it into the case to watch it you can move it to what orientation you prefer.
Thanks guys but I didn't realize that by turning the tablet up side down, the audio jack would be inaccessible
Well, anyway, I ordered the keyboard dock which will solve all my issues. I was looking for anything other than a keyboard dock, but I guess I could live with that too.
You do know they have a media dock that might would better suit your needs, right?
Yes, I do. But I thought I would benefit from the keyboard also, when I actually needed it. Kind of like all-in-one solution. Thanks for the advices guys!
I'm on the lookout for a nice dock for my One XL (ATT One X). Are there any available yet that use the pogo pin contacts on the back?
If not, WHY NOT :silly:
Anyone else have a nice looking dock? Feel free to post pics or links.
Thanks :good:
Only the official HTC charger uses the pogo pins I think - http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=230289&phone=229814
Would be nice to see a car charger that uses them too!
Yea, that's for the International one X, and the pogo pins are offset by a few mm
Like you said, the pogo pins don't line up, and we can't expect one that fits with our phone anytime soon.

The Evita is a bastard child. I'm using this dock http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WN4F0Y/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
with an NFC tag to set my alarm and turn off auto-sync at night.
Scouring the internet like crazy, got a HTC Desire HD that I really want to use Qi charging for. I also have an SGS3, so i wanted to kill two birds with one
Any ideas? I'm really running out of ideas here. I was thinking maybe I could use some copper wire or something from a regular one.
I saw a back (entire back above the sim cover at the bottom), aka fits around the cam and flash, for htc thunderbolt for qi, but i'm guessing that wouldn't fit this would it?
