Kidigi Deluxe Desktop Cradle?

http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1184
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

I sent the same inquiry and they responded "end of may"

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

USB Cables

I know these cost more than the ones online, but are they any better?

The only great thing about monster is the profit margin they make stores. God I used to love convincing people how they "needed" a monster cable to get things to work the way they should. Of course this was when I made commision way back when I sold them lol.

Just order from monoprice and get the amazing gold plated microUSB cable for like a dollar.

LOL, Monster Cables.
Better one though is the Denon ethernet cable that costs $500: http://usa.denon.com/us/Product/Pag...roductId=f7d26b3a-05a6-4724-a5c1-2a63642a6206

Yep. Bought that one for the car and bought 2 6ft ones for indoors. All work flawlessly.

I ordered some generic cables on eBay and they work just fine. I do like the way that the micro usb side of the cable that came with the phone is angled, making it easier to plug in in the dark.
I've looked online and found the Samsung replacement part but it appears they are only 2' 9" long (which is a LOT shorter than the cable that came with the phone).
Here's one of the sites where I found this:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38609&cat=888
Has anyone seen a longer (and possibly cheaper) cable like this?
Thanks!

Just buy the monoprice cable and score the right side of the microusb end with a knife or something so you can easily insert it in the dark.

Anyone seen one that is at a right angle that goes in the phone instead up straight up?
So when plugged in, in the car and mounted it doesn't go up like 2 inches before it turns back down.
**nevermind found one on ebay (searched usb cable micro angled)

I bought a 2 pack of retractable cables on ebay for portable charging. To my surprise they work to transfer data, too. It's interesting because the last retractable phone cable I bought could only be used to charge (samsung instinct)

Bought mine from NewEgg and an expensive one is about $15. I choose some that were $4 a piece. Works great

Just placed my order for 2 6ft ones. One to have at work and one at home.

do not get right angle! I made that mistake, it covers the 3.5 mm audio.
get an "Up angle" for a while usbfirewire.com was the only vendor and was $16 to $20 shipped depending on length, but they recently started showing up on ebay for $7 shipped.
I got an up angle from this vendor and it came fairly fast for hong kong (abut 7 days) and was a very good gauge and quality:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Usb-male-AM-up-angle-90-degree-micro-B-cable-/390255590008
$7 shipped

Can anyone recommend a *thin and flexible* USB charging cable? I bought these from Amazon and although they work fine, they are too stiff and thick and I am worried that they will damage my port with prolonged use since I have to bend the cable before the phone lies flat on the table while charging. There are many other options out there but it is hard to judge by the picture how thin and flexible the cable is. I am looking for something as thin and flexible as the OEM cable. Thanks

Got mine in the mail the other day. Took about 3 days or so to get. Very quick shipping. The usb part that plugs into the phone is pretty snug.

Car Dock

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?

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.

Im gonna get this carholder: http://goo.gl/IJdUG

Desktop Dock and Car Dock

Hello Guys i found this 2 items on ebay.
They say is original HTC, so wanted to see if you guys think that the price is possible and your opnion of this been real or not.
Cant post links yet but here they are..
"w w w.ebay.com/itm/270996377935?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"
"w w w.ebay.com/itm/270994736033?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"
The reason i ask is because of the price.

Looks pretty legit to me. 45199 positive feedback. The box with the car mounted one looks to be official HTC. Either way, I just bought both of them so I'll let you know how it turns out.

Well there is only a MHL port that is used for charging guess i can connect it to the dock and see.

Not sure about the HDMI but I can confirm these are very solid pieces of equipment and very much worth the $10.

True, havent tested hdmi on these, but i can say that this are official original and i just saved maybe about 80-100 bucks.
Now installing my second desktop top to put on my office. Got a new back cover replaced battery and wont be replacing this phone for some time now. Specially now that has 4.1.2.

Can you let me know if the Desktop Dock provides enough clearance for a slim TPU Silicone case to remain on the phone while you charge it? Thanks!

Ordered both. Hoping that it will work with hdmi. Really excited for the car dock and hoping that it leaves the camera free.

usb chrager cable not working well

Hi
I bought a cheap Chinese USB charger cable for my N4 and I feel like it doesn't charge as well as the original... (although I use the same AC power)
Could it be ? or is it just me ?

It's the cheap cabling, I have the same issue with cheap 3 metre cabling I bought on eBay.

So you paid less than usual for something and now it's performance is worse than usual. What a shocker.

@SMillerNL = You should see the annual report of some of the big western companies to figure that most of their profits comes from people like you

get a proper usb cable, i got a cheap Chinese one and the usb split on one side and the connection to the phone was too short so i had to cut some of the insulation off.

It's not that I don't buy cheap stuff, it's that I don't expect it to have the same quality.

Can anyone advise which cable to buy, if someone had experience with any particular cable?
It's not that I don't wanna pay, or that I look for cheap one.. but still there are some limits
Just looking for good one. Friend bought few cables, they were so stiff I was afraid they will break if you wiggle them, and micro usb port was also hard to inject into phone..was afraid to break micro usb port..
Was looking on LG web, couldn't find it for buy..
So, looking if someone have experience with some particular cable. TnX

Best cables I have ever used. Very high quality, they feel very much like (dare I say it), Apple cables with the hard shell.

I use the monoprice premium cables too. Had it for a couple months and no breaks yet. And life time warranty. Better than the amazon basic cables.

Ah yes, already checked monoprice, looks like good quality cables, but problem is that they don't ship to my country
And even if they did, I checked country next to mine, price would be ~20$, so..
TnX anyway

Try amazon. I bought mine through there.

Have you thought about wireless chargers? Fry's usually has those for about $20, and they come with a USB cord.
