Well the official dock is often sold with interchangeable inserts one for the normal battery and one for the (im assuming official, when i comes out) extended battery

It has. Check the HTC Accessories site...

i will get the original cradle because of the great stylefactor. also the 3,5mm-jack is an argument for that cradle for those who need it.
the shop where i can order it wants 32€, way too much in my opinion, i will have to wait for cheaper times

it does seem too much in my opinion
but it also looks so sexyyyy lol

Yup, quite sexy. Unfortunately it's also wasting a lot of space on the desk - I doubt I'll buy it.

which shop?

german distributor shop where i can order it (i have a little job in the business...)

I have a third party desktopcharger, made by Veripart.
costs 39euro and it has a slot for extra battery to charge.
it looks good and works great. worth every euro it costs

i'd pay up to 30€ for it.. too bad it costs more.

@ diamondMflexx
pictures pictures please

Here's a review (in Dutch) of the Veripart Cradle with extra battery slot, including pictures.

anybody know of a place where i can get an extra battery and cradle together for a discounted price..?

Sweet deal. I'd rather buy that htc for $25 than the sedio for $60.

That's what I plan on doing as well. Waiting for the charging dock....

Got my spare yesterday, along with this dock from Hong Kong. The dock isn't the most glamorous but it works, and came with a 1500mAh AC adapter. Having a spare battery let me really see how long this thing could go... had it off the charger at 9AM, about two hours of internet browsing, one ~20 minute phone call with mixed reception (E/3G, sometimes 0 bars), and a little better than 6 hours of music playback. At 9PM I swapped the battery, it still had 13% remaining... My G1 would have crapped out a long time before that.

i'm assuming these are the standard batteries, not extended life versions?

Yes, the same as what is shipped with the phone, though for only $25, it sure beats the 1600mAh that Sedio offers at $55 +shipping...

I don't know why you guys don't buy this one:
http://4u-kidi.com/info.php?itno=5571
It cheap and works like the original one. Before nexus one I used similar for my G1. And worked beautifully. And free shipping!
Just a thought.
by the way I bought also this DOCK. It's free shipping also, and cheapest on the market.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34205

This dock is linked on the previous page for a couple of bucks less.... very funny dealextreme listing though... got me laughing... "AC/USB powered design brings more convenient" LOL

Haha

ddoughty, appreciate the backup but he's right. I thought I was posting fresh news and didn't follow proper protocol to check first before posting.
not sure why this thread got so much more attention, except maybe I used a bit more of a descriptive thread title.

External battery charger

Can anyone recommend a decent external charger for the Desire HD battery? Thinking of getting a spare battery but want a way of charging outside the phone.
Cheers.

yeah im also looking for a good external charger.. anyone have suggestions?

Have a look at this desktop cradle. I like its design:

that's for the Desire isn't it?

I guess it's better waiting until China DHD launches for good accessories

Yeah, you can usually find these things on eBay for pennies. Maybe in a week or two...

I have one of these that I occasionally use for my G1. It isnt amazing and charges very slowly, but with a high quality battery it should help a little on the go!

Do not you think a direct charger like Energizer XP8000 instead of externa battery charger?

Did someone have ever used a charger like this?
http://www.a-solar.eu/EN/micro_charger_am500.htm
It's a solar portable charger with a battery of 1900mAh.
I'd like to buy it but I don't know where... do you know a online shop that sell it and send it in italy?
thanks

0 feedback and 0 bids for a chinese seller is making me wary of ordering

I've gone for it, but with someone with feedback -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....336224&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3296wt_905
Will take about 3 weeks to get here though!

me too!

Ok I'm in as well

i found this one
ebay Item number: 120640014972 (new users aka me cannot post external links )
which is a battery powered portable charger rated at 5000maH and charges the battery in the phone.
that battery cover worries me so i dont want to have to open it too often. also it means you dont have to wait for the device to reboot. not sure how accurate that 5000mah is, but i should be able to fit that and my phone in my pocket for a couple of hours to charge.
not ideal, but i dont trust non-brand batteries, especially if im importing them from china since i have no legal comeback if it explodes in my phone because they are not a UK company.

This is the link -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....e-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1#ht_2465wt_1139
It does look really good actually. I like that you can charge two devices at one too. Anyone have any experience of these? I think I'll order one...

Mobilefun do one for around £20 that docks the phone and has a slot for a spare battery to charge aswell. Not in stock last I looked, but ill be buying one of those.

GooseWhite QI-ELF 1A QI charger for $25 + tax

Here is the Amazon link
http://www.amazon.com/GooseWhite-Po...1RS2KAEN60CZP&qid=1377203998&s=generic&sr=1-5
I just ordered it, I will post a review once I get it...I like how it looks in the pictures, and it seems to be possibly better than the China branded ones from Ebay or Amazon....so we shall see...
here's the Amazon pictures until i have actual ones

so in about a week or so i'll post the review and actual pictures
i figured since the 3 people who ordered their other Qi charger were satisfied that i would give this one a shot...it's a decent price and i like the looks...and it has a buzzer as well as an LED to let you know when it's done charging

Let us know how this one pans out.
I bought one of the DT-900's (on sale).. it worked great for 2 days.. and I haven't been able to get it to work since with my N4 (still works fine with my N7).

Only thing that really interests me on this one is the 1A charge, seems like that would definitely be on the high end for Qi chargers.

All of those pictures are CGI. I would wait for real photographs.

man, another circle wireless charger? Why do they keep making these? Phones are not made in the shape of circles.

Yeah, that's why I got it, I'm hoping it actually IS what it says it is

I´ve just got it. Looks nice and works well, BUT it plays a moderately loud sound when you put your nexus to charge. This is very annoying because i use it when i go to sleep and awakes my wife.
Obviously i am not going to risk my marriage for an iq charger Anyone knows how to disable the sound? I´ve opened it, but i´ve found no buzzer in the circuit. I don´t mind breaking the buzzer if needed.

Desktop cradle?

Has anyone out there found a decent desktop cradle? I like to stand my phone up on the night stand while charging.

Got this one a few weeks ago for $8...worth it IMO, the quality and construction are both great esp for the price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0126HG28I/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any pics of it in the stand/connector/power cable etc? Thx Would be nice to have one at work to stand the phone up instead of it sitting on my notepad flat.
Maybe at home as a charge stand at night as well.

I bought one of these a while back when I had the wireless adapter for my M8.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M4OB1WG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

If anyone is still interested in this, I ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018PJ6EBG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
*****UPDATE*******
This will NOT NOT NOT work with the A9. I sent it back to the seller with a rant. Obviously they didn't test it, the USB connection is 180 degrees out.

I use a cheap business card holder, it is black and mesh and my phones have all fit very well in it on their side.

Anyway, can't find a desktop cradle worth beans anywhere. Pretty sad how the A9 support is so limited.

The problem is HTC don't make the charging in the middle but they keep moving the port in/out a little in the side from model to model. For example, the dock for m7 won't fit the m8, the dock for m8 won't fit the m9. While the dock for m9 has same width as the a9 but the port location is off just a little. If they would just put the freaking charging in the middle, we can use the dock from the m8 or m9.
This one would work if you don't mind the phone is off center: http://www.amazon.com/First2savvv-d...&qid=1455986552&sr=1-10&keywords=htc+one+dock
I used one of the dock for the M9 before and the problem is it disables the Quick Charge feature. It takes a long time to charge the phone. But I only tried one. If you have one that work with Quick Charger then please let me know.

Someone just need to make a dock where the charging port slides back and forth.
