Android newbie here, hello
I'm waiting for my Sensation to arriwe and I've tried to find webshop which sells charcheable car holder designed for Sensation, but haven't found one yet I've previously used Brodi's holder with my N900, but they don't have one for Sensation yet.
Any good ideas where to point my browser? Thanks in advance

HTC has it´s own charging car dock for this phone, as a original accessory, so get one from a htc dealer.

I also mailed to Brodit Sweden asking info about Sensation holder, but got no reply yet. Brodit would be the best solution for me as I don't want to stick anything to the windshield and don't want to drill any screws to my car's interior. I also have the car specific adapter for my car already where I can mount any brodit holder.
Brodit is of course a good choice too, specially if you have the base part already installed.
Dock for my nexus came with the kind of sticky platter to be placed on the dashboard, to which the suction cup took it's contact. It was quite good solution too.
The Brodit mount I had for my HD2 was perfect and I will wait for the sensation one as I have the car mount already and just need the phone mount.
I sit mine in my old HD2 mount for now... but cant wait for it to released!

Try www.expansys.com (or .nl). They sell the original HTC car holder.

I don't currently own a Sensation, but isn't the charger connection on the side of the phone? How's that gonna look/work? Having the phone in landscape is not something i would be fond of.
The brodit clip+holder for the HD2 still works like a charm for me. Hope the sensation one will be just as good, since it's kinda holding me from getting one now.
Brodit
Just look on brodit for the Active Holder for HTC Wildfire S
That's how it will looks for the sensation
That's a bit of a bummer, just doesn't look good :x
Well, Brodit passive holder for the Sensation has been launched, so I'm guessing active holder won't be far behind.

Hi,
Has anyone purchased a car mount for their desire?
My Desire should hopefully arrive tomorrow and I'm trying to get some accessories for it! The car kit is fairly essential, I have the bluetooth radio that supports A2DP so I'm very excited!
Could anyone recommend a decent car mount?
I have a suction one for my N95 but I think I'd rather one that clips into one of the vents.
I`m waiting for Brodit to release one for the desire, supposed to be soon.
I used their active kit for my G2/Hero and its good. Easy to fit into your car, took 5mins, you have to buy depending on your make/model and where you want it mounted.
Look at the 'Desire Accessories':
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/trailblazer-universal-car-charger-and-holder-p22954.htm
Had it for several days... its cheap £9.99 and holds the phone and charges it as well! Delivery is megaquick too.
I read somewhere that the nexus one brodit is supposed to work with the desire - who's brave enough to try it now!?

Brodit have told me its imminent and to check the website for release (dsldevelopments dot com) within 14 days.
I've used them for years, just replacing the holder on the mount for each new phone.

Silly question, but wont the Brodit Mobile Phone Active Holder Tilt Swivel for Nexus One be ok for the Desire? It's on the dlsdevelopments website.

Ask brodit theyre fast at resonding. I`d say it might not work as the connections might not align up. I`d try and wait a few weeks for the desire one
to appear.

I emailed them and they said it wouldnt fit due to the clearance being 0.1mm
We're out of stock of Nexus One - but we get some I will test it.
Desire Brodit are on the site coming soon - but there is no date.

Really liked the look of this but I have an Audi A3 and the car cigarette lighter is housed within the ashtray about 3 inches from the outer dashboard. I doubt the trailblazer will fit.
Also it looks like the holding parts would go right over the volume controls on the Desire like it does on the HD2.
MINI WEIGHTED CUSHION FRICTION MOUNT with UNIVERSAL HOLDER for MOBILES SMART PHONES MP3 (SKU 5043)
I have just ordered this one for my desire, wanted something that wasnt a sucker mount and I dont like the airvent mounts, I also wanted something that meant that I could turn the desire from horizontal to vertical very easily without having to dismantle the device or struggle in doing so, lastly I wanted something that meant I could easily fit into another car quickly if i needed it, found this and it seems to fit the bill nicely, I have read up on the reviews on this mount with a garmin attatchment and they have all come back hugely favourable, love the fact that if i wanted to add another phone to the mount in the future all i have to do is to buy another back plate instead of the entire mount. was sceptical at first haven never seen a friction dash mount before but after reading the reviews and watching the video on the link i have provided and it only being £18.32 inc delivery i thought why not, will post up when i have received it and let you know how it is
buybits.com/product.aspx?id=5043
I have ordered the Nexus Brodit mount and it in fact does not fit as the Desire is 0.5mm wider and thicker.
So i have now ordered the Desire one from morpethmobiles.co.uk and should be receiving early next week so will post some pics

As I have said here, I think they may be selling the Nexus mount as the Desire mount.
i suspect that aswell because i talked to brodit directly 3/4 days ago and they said it should take at least 2 weeks for the holder to be available.
<START RANT>
It annoys me some shops are selling Nexus accessories as Desire ones - like this dock and also Clove are marketing the Proporta Alu Leather case for both the Nexus and the Desire.
If Brodit and Proporta think it necessary to redesign their accessories to fit the Desire, shops shouldn't be selling the Nexus versions as if they were designed for the Desire. I am sure Brodit and Proporta would have been delighted if their existing accessories would fit as they would increase their market without all the new R&D costs.
I would be very annoyed if I bought something as designed specifically for the Desire, only to find in a few weeks that the manufacturer had brought out a version that really was designed just for the Desire.

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.

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
Does anyone know of a windscreen mount for the Omnia 7 yet other than the generic clamp based mounts
Thanks

Have you seen the Brodit holders? Brand new not available for delivery yet.
Passive holder
Item no. 511221
Active holder with cig-plug.
Item no. 512221
Active holder for fixed installation, with Molex adapter system.
Item no. 513221
The Brondit one looks the right one, I've heard very good things about them, Windscreen mite get cluttered now with the HD2 for navigation and Omnia 7 for phone
Thanks, will keep an eye on them for when they go on sale
Mine arrived a few days ago and it's as good as any other Brodit kit - i.e. it's good
Haven't seen them many places online yet, but they are out there at least.
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.
Hello guys!

That looks like it will work only in one position.
It is what I just found and wondering if to buy:

We need 8 mm, maybe not possible in vertical.
Does anyone know of a car dock that the Galaxy Relay can detect and go into car mode?
