The Best Car Dock Confirmed!

Ok, I've been a very proud owner of the Samsung Omnia i8910 for a few months now... Still considering which phone I'm going to keep now after getting the Nexus one.
But I just wanted to confirm that awhile back I bought a car dock/holder for the Omnia but to my suprise and delight it fits the Nexus absolutely perfect. IMO this is the best car holder on the market. Proclip USA makes excellent products and I can confirm this particular dock is not only excellent but fits the N1 perfect as well.
Defininetly more expensive than others especially those you can find on ebay from china... but for me well worth it. If anyone is considering this their website - proclipusa.com - you need to select your country and then they give you the option for make of car and make of phone. Obviously there is no selection for the Nexus one but I can guarantee the model of phone you need to select is the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD, the product number is - 511020 - put that in the search and you'll find it. This is for the Holder with tilt swivel which is perfect for maps & navigation as you can swivel it landscape for great looking directions... they even have a model with a built in charger but I just opted for the holder with tilt swivel.
I am not affiliated with this company whatsoever just a happy customer.
Again it is expensive but I love it and love the fact you can select the make of your car and it comes pre-configured to mount to it.
**Edit: Forgot to mention there is no drilling and messing up your dash... just simply applies with a sticky backing and can easily be uninstalled without any damage whatsoever.

I am not sure that what you are describing or the pictures attached are what is typically considered to be a dock.
A dock would include a charging station, that is the purpose of the contacts on the bottom of the Nexus one. Ideally, the docking station would allow you to use transmit the Nexus One media thru the auto sound system.

Thanks for the information but that is a phone holder not a dock. The dock will be capable of charging the phone through the contact points on the bottom of the N1. The dock may also interface with your car radio and possibly other functions yet to be determined.

link? can you provide a link from where you bought the dock from?

Yes I think I put the link in at the OP but its at proclipusa.com
Also stated I believe is that yes I just bout the holder and since there is an opening at the bottom charging is perfect as it hooks up right to the bottom but I didn't get the other version offered which included a coiled charging station.

I do like the look of that phoneclip, however my only concern that I can see is, how does the phone not vibrate out of it while its horizontal?

This fits the N1 so good that it almost takes two hands to pull it out... there's no way it can come out without pulling it out and certainly not due to vibration.

Would it being as tight as you say, cause it to wear out on the phones material on the sides?

Seconded, this would be good to know too. Although I've already ordered one, which hopefully should just connect to the existing brodit mount I had for my Touch Pro 2.

Wow, I checked into that website. I really like the interface of the website. How it shows pictures of your specific dash, and where and how the phone will sit. Very expensive. I mean 65 bucks, for the setup and that is only the mount and swivel. No way. When the real Nexus One docks come out. The Car Mount is going to be 50 and the desktop mount will be 40. Both the dock's will use the gold contacts on the bottom for charging. And the car dock should have options to work directly with car stereo (optional of course).
Wait guys it's coming about 10 day is my guess.

Well mine came in the post today. Screwed onto the existing mount I had for my Touch Pro 2 just fine. The N1 does indeed fit fine but is very tight. Didn't scratch the phone and no way is it falling out when horizontal.

I've been using my Iphone in car with this dock.
Just Mobile Xtand Go (google it)
I was really impressed to see that it EXACTLY fits my N1
IMHO, it's really the best dock around
now...i am just missing FM transmission.
Would you need pics...please request

I am using this car dock until the real Nexus One docks are ready. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DQQBVW...e=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B001DQQBVW
If you are looking for a good bluetooth stereo for your nexus that works really well. Try this one. http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_105KDA805/JVC-Arsenal-KD-A805.html?search=JVC+KDA805&ssi=0
Once you sync your stereo with your phone the first time. You can just leave your phone in your pocket if you want, you can answer phone calls from your stereo, or even make them from your stereo if you want, you can listen to music from your phone on the stereo by just using the stereo's remote. With you phone still in your pocket.
If a person doesnt want to replace their stereo and just want's to use a fm transmitter. Get the motorola t505 I used it for 3 months it does work. Hands free driving syncs with any stereo any car. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982214&Tpk=motoraloa t505

The ProClip holders are quite nice, but I think the Omnia II might be a better fit:
Nexus One: 119 x 59.8 x 11.5
Omnia II: 118 x 59.6 x 12.3
Omnia i8910: 123 x 58 x 12.9
The OmniaII's width is just .2mm thinner than the Nexus and thickness is only .8 thicker.

BEST Phone holder.. BY FAR
bought this to use with my G1 back when the Sprint Hero Nav app was dumped.. used it many times and works excellent with the Nexus One as well ... it rotates landscape and it unclips to use in the dash vent .. i originally wanted it because it doesnt interfere with the touchscreen and its low profile wont let it vibrate too much..and it has a good grasp on the phone without damage (i run a track setup on my suspension with competition spring rates and coilovers.. along with solid engine mounts)

Any pictures? I couldn't find any online besides that amazon one. How about some with the n1 attached and also attached to a car vent?

looks good thanks!

Though I did order a car mount, i just spotting this one and like the fact it's made for the nexus one.. not sure if i'm going to get it or not and return the one i just ordered.

Bunch of Trinity accessories (and a Trinity) for sale. :)

So, my dad used to use the Trinity as his everyday work phone, until he saw my Nexus One. Now that he's got the N1, all the accessories he had are incompatible, and need to be sold!
FOR SALE:
One HTC P3600 PRO (Trinity) in black.
The phone is certainly in a used state. It's not broken or anything; everything functional on the phone still works, but the case shows obvious wear from going in/out of the car dock constantly. Bundled with the phone are the user manual, the "Getting Started" disk (CD is unopened), and all assorted documentation (if you want it.), the European-style wall charger (with U.S. adapter), and the original MiniUSB-StandardUSB cable. Spare battery for an extra $10 or something.
Paserro charger/dock.
This device will charge your phone (only if it's the Trinity), connect it to the computer, and charge a spare battery, all at the same time. It's a nice dock that holds the phone upright and securely.
MiniUSB Car Charger
Belt Case from HTC
This case was designed for the Trinity and is made by HTC themselves, so you know you're getting only the best. It's used, but there's nothing wrong with it.
ProclipUSA Car Dock
This car dock is absolutely the best available, hands down. You can find it on the manufactures website here. This is, besides the phone, easily the coolest thing in the lot. Their docks are a two part system (This is ONLY the device specific part. You need a vehicle specific part from their website!!!) that allows you to mount your device to your car seamlessly. This is Proclips highest grade car dock, with an integrated charger that can be wired behind the panels of your car so there are no exposed wires. It is practically invisible when you get it set up properly.
I'd like to sell this pretty much as one lot. If you want an individual item, we'll work something out. Please, don't post bids here. PM me with your offers, or email me for super-fast reply.
Thanks for reading!

Soooo, yeah.
BUMP.
'cause this is still for sale.

Waterproof Bike Mounted Holder For HTC Desire HD

Hi All
Found an interesting bike mount for the Desire HD. Waterproof and mount on handlebars. There is a hole to use your headphones while riding. From Play.com £14.99
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...-Desire-HD/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0#

Nice idea but too pricey for me. Would be great when geocaching tho

Liking this, would love to see something similar for runners.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I found this to work well. Not the cheapest but has not dropped the phone yet or fallen off!
http://www.buybits.com/product/9076.aspx
HTH

That looks very interesting. How exactly does it hold onto the handlebar? That is, would it be OK for off-road?
@ Steve - your link took me to a "desk-sync cable" Do you have another link
Any photos, specifically of the mount itself, would be well received

I have got a bike holder for my HTC Desire HD. It is modificated Dicota. (I bought it as a holder for my HP iPAQ, than it holds Touch PRO and now DHD)
I have got a photo, which was taken some days before, and i was photographing bike, not that holder
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=928847&l=acbcbfb1fe&id=1680198082
And it is now waterproof
// I can take a close photo if u want. Just send me a message

exactly what i was looking for

for German costumers you can get Bike Holders for the DHD here http://www.monav24.de/shop/index.php?cPath=84_86&SESS=815d0cf70b0ec016a31d561b6a314342

Anyone got any better suggestions, i bought the waterproof case/mount for my DHD and its terrible for the job. It's just a tom tom case filled with stuffings. Really bad poor quality. Regarding it's purpose to hold and protect my phone, it fails as the case is far too big and it's not waterproof as it has holes for earphones. All in all poor.
The Iphone bike mount seems all well-made and fit for purpose. Why can't someone make a proper mount for out Desire HD.

I think there are craftsmen and their own hands to make

I need to get one of these, i would worry about it if i had a crash tho

DHD Holder
Hi,
I read back a couple of posts and I think that http://buybits.com/product/8890.aspx would do a better jobby. There are a couple about I tried mobfun but they said they had them but when I ordered they were OOS - which others have said too.
Wished I had searched here first.
But the buybits people seem to have a lot of bits and bobs that do later phones. Had a few things off them from the web and they seems to do what they say on the bag lol.
Dunno would not want a crash with any new phone - you know they would just fall apart lol

UltimateAddons Waterproof Case for HTC Desire HD (+ bike mount)
I found this:
ultimate-mobiles.co.uk/mobile-phones/htc/htc-desire-hd-accessories/bicycle-accessories/pro-bicycle-wpcase444___939.htm
or same product also for example here:
amazon.co.uk/UltimateAddons-Motorcycle-Swivel-Handlebar-Waterproof/dp/B00577AWXG/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&m=A1JCK2KMJMH29Q&s=generic&qid=1311525084&sr=1-9
Just to let you know, it is made for iPhone 4g and HTC Desire HD does not fit it properly. Seems like a quality product, but they should a) make a bigger case for Desire HD and/or devices of that size and b) stop marketing this product deceitfully.
If someone finds a proper case (or another fraudulent one), please do post here!

nice maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

please ignore

HTC Desire Car Mount

Hello all, I'm looking for something a bit different than has been posted up here, and i thought I'd see if anyone else has something that they are using.
What I need is a simple windshield mount for my HTC desire. It doesnt need to have built in charging or anything, but I would like it to be able to be turned so i can use it in landscape mode. I would also prefer to have something that DOESNT block the camera so I can take video on the fly. I downloaded the custom car home app from the android market, and i can use that to work the camera, the scanner app that I have, the navigation panel, and the google maps. I also have an inclinometer program that I can use while off-roading. I have a car charger, so like I said, it doesnt need to be fancy, just be able to hold the phone securely in landscape mode and not block the camera.
Any good suggestions?

I picked up a generic holder from tesco and it does the job perfectly - just turned the bracket through 90 degrees.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Not cheap but I've always found Brodit holders the best. I have the Brodit passive mount for my Desire and it doesn't block the camera, also fully rotates.

I ordered the official one 2 weeks ago and it's very good!
It's definitly not the cheapest one and quite expensive but it's very good.
As a new user I'm not allowed to post links, so go to amazon and search for "B003SSNLWK"
I tried 3 cheap one before and I'm very happy with the new one.
The cheap ones didn't hold on the windows and my desire including the car-kit jumped around my feets!!!

[Q] (Q) experiences with this dual docks?

I've recently got a new Desire HD and retired my HD2
now I'm in the process of choosing the right accessorise for it.
I found this 3 different dual docks and I can't decide which to buy.
If any of you have bought them already your advice would be most welcomed.
this one has only two pin's and the battery has four so I'm not sure if this would even work properly:
1. http://cgi.ebay.com/AC-USB-Dock-Bat...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item41579e51c3
I used dock like this both for my previous HTC HD and HD2 so I know they usually ok + you get a additional battery (although it's obviously a fake, but on the other hand every battery on ebay is and I'll still need to buy one) + EU charger (in my case I need it)
2. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Battery-Cra...724883?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0eba6c53
newer had this one, but I like it the most and I'm interested mostly in it.
3. http://cgi.ebay.com/KiDiGi-2nd-Batt...630327?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aa567e8b7
If you have any other suggestion, please feel free to say. I'll be ordering the dock in a day or two.

I had the first one, the quality was absolutely terrible. The rubbers weren't all the same size so it was very unstable. On top of that the usb connector was too far up which means that my phone would hang a little bit to the left, because the USB port on the phone is not in the middle. And to top it all off it was pretty hard to remove the phone from the cradle which means you need to hold it down firmlly with 1 hand and remove it with the other.

waiting for your media dock... that sounds interesting

I got the last one. It is the same like from Adapt desire HD cradle. ( only brand is different, the rest remains the same).
I have the one with extra battery charger. It works fine.
It is a tight fit, but have no complains about it. You get two extra micro usb cables with it ( one for pc and one for extra charging).
Quality is fine, no high tech but it looks nice.

Thanks. I'm definately leaning toward that cradle. Can you put a link to where from you got yours?
