I know there's a one x dock that's supposed to hit the market, and I'm assuming/hoping we'll get the same treatment, but how about aftermarket accessories? Anyone have any tips on very good generic car docks?
In very short: Buy this USB Cable, you can find here.
Buy any cardock else, that suits your needs, e.g. igrip HRX kit which you can find here.
You'll have a solution as with HTC's original equipment but of more value, as the holder can be reused..
I bought the original HTC One S Car upgrade kit CAR D100 for about 50 € and am using it for nearly three weeks now. I wouldn't do that again for some reasons. Atm I'm preparing a little review of it, which I'll post here in this thread. Due to a lack of time it will take two or three more days.

Hi everyone,
I bought a portable power source several days ago via Internet, and to be honest, this power source is really nice.
This power kit, which owns a capability of 2200mAh, is packed by 'dopod' (a company that affiliated to hTC), and it can force your phone to using its power as priority when it is plugged in.
BTW, the output port is mini USB, that means this power source not only can be used as Diamond's backup battery, but also can be applied to any kind of devices that supports miniUSB charging. Cheers!
Lifetron LT-005
Bought 2 weeks ago this one:
Lifetron LT-005
http://www.lifetrons.ch/Products/Products-MultiplePowerSystem.htm
4800mAh 5V output and really small. 85mm x 25mm x 40mm
I used it to keep my PSP, my Diamond and my IPod alive on my last business trip.

where can you buy this?
edit: found it already. 129 USD, quite expensive!
I would rather buy this one: http://www.just-mobileonline.com/products_chargerseries_9.html, only 400 mAh less, and also small! (70mm x 52mm x 22mm)
Has anyone experience with it? Or does anyone know a better deal?
All look good but for sheer value and ease of use, I bought this from my local branch of maplins
£3 !!!!!!!
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=222899
Uses standard AA or rechareable AA's to power/ charge your diamond

Think i'll go an pick up one of these on the way home!
I'm thinking of buying this one
I have the Proporta solution. http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4393&t_mode=des
...
And I found another Solar-Energy external power source....
solar charger
just got one of these and I will test it for a few days
http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00673
I just got a PowerPal (another AA battery device) as an emergency solution, should be handy for camping trips too.
I went into Jessops in York today (UK camera shop) and found they were doing Energizer Ultimate Lithium 4-packs for £3.91. If you believe their PDF datasheet, they have way more power than an alkaline battery under larger current draws.
How about this by Energizer...

Another one I am going to be investing in before CES this year is a Callpod FuelTank... 4300mAh battery plus the ability to charge 2 items at once....
http://www.callpod.com/products/fueltank
I've been using the callpod dragon (first and second gen) for sometime with great success... I love it.... no chargepod in my car, but thinking about it soon....
How about this one? Found it at expansys while looking for external battery solutions....

Hi
Im in the UK and have purchased:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=270309547326
In the couple of weeks i have had it ive used it to power my Diamond/PSP/NDS.
They do a more powerful version but this is ok for my needs...at the moment.
Regards
Wasim
What about this one?

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 an enquiry about the elegant cradle and you can buy it from 4u-mobi.com in june.
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
hi folks!last night i was looking around the web for a Car dock for my n1,and i found there are not many that hook on the dashboard (hate to have it on my windscreen,blocks the view).
I even looked for the Google official c.d, but it appears they are not selling it any more or not available for Greece
Could you experienced folks tell me which dashboard N1 holders are good? Are you using any?
thanx
would you recommend this one?

http://www.amazon.com/Type-AC30267-60-XGrip-Universal-Holder/dp/B001PRPBB0
was using one of these until i upgraded to the HTC Car Dock worked pretty well
i looked for the HTC one,but it's out of stock almost everywhere,or it will be too expensive
i m looking for a cheap system,preferably maximum 30euros(around $60 i think)
i was thinking of looking for a "flexible neck" adapter,so that i can only change that,as my dad uses that for his GPS device
its a last resort,but i doubt i can find anything mountable on dashboard,and due to my car's vents( colt cz3) i dont know how compatible them "vent mountable" holders will be
i checked in proclip site but they didnt list my car
nexus one mounts
this site has a cool selections on car mounts check it out. http://www.amzer.com/HTC/HTC-Nexus-One-accessories.htm
I have had i-phones forever until i found the amazing N1 - I always used a cheap 30 dollar car mount for my Iphones and when i bought the N1 i found that if fits damn nicely into the iphone 3g mount for this specific dock.
The dock is a
Griffin windowseat that i bought at best buy - it fits snugly in what is intended for iphone 3g. I use it daily and would recommend it - i trimmed the ghost armor i have on the phone on all 4 corners where the dock holds the phone.
here is a link if you want - i mount mine just under the rear-view mirror!
Best buy
For those of you that dont know about the site Dealextreme, its chock full of cheap Chinese made gadgets and gizmos, and lots of knockoff name brand stuff. I just received one of the best car chargers ive ever had for my phone from the site, and the best part is it was only $2.80 shipped. The cord retracts into the body to keep clutter down that you get with the $30 charger from Best Buy.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/car-ch...-for-samsung-i9000-dc-12-24v-75cm-cable-54537
I ordered two, one for my girlfriends HTC, and unsurprisingly one of them came with a damaged cable (insulation was peeled off). Though after sending them a picture, theyre sending me a new one at no cost. I ordered a similar one for my Nokia E72 a few months ago which worked well. As well as a retractable 4 in 1 AC charger (Nokia, mini and micro USB, and iPhone all spliced into one cable) to keep at the shop for about $4. Its all cheap Chinese made crap, but still a great value.
I dont work for the site, just sharing what i though was a great find.
that website is ok, but the quality of their item is relatively poor. There are only a few items that have decent quality.
Yes if one out of two was falling apart when you got it that doesn't speak well for it lasting very long.
$2.80 dude
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I use this one for all my MicroUSB needs. For under $5 shipped, it's amazing, looks nice (the circle is glass that lights up blue), and "name brand" I suggest this one over a $3 cheaply made one.
I just use one of these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004T1VSRK
nice and compact and i can charge any USB device from it, put's out enough amps to even charge my wifes ipad....
I used to have one that was both at the same time, kind of like this one. www.accessorypost.com/zipkordcombo.html
It had replaceable tips for different devices but I only had one so I spliced a different tip together from a different charger.
What's the best charger like that available? I don't care about the price, I just want to know which is the best one.
Is that really worth the money?
No idea but I had one like it before that my brother broke, so he owes me one whether or not it is.
micro usb chargers are pretty much standardized, there's no real "best" charger. Generic wall charger charges my phone at the same rate of the official wall charger included with the phone.
I keep a generic car charger I bought on eBay for a dollar, and keep an official HTC charger at home, and another generic wall charger I bought for a dollar at work. Not to mention plethora of microusb cable at home, work, school, friend's house, laptop, etc., spending that much money on one product seems silly to me.
I am happy with the OEM Sprint car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GPQTJQ
It is better built than the OEM HTC car charger and has a secondary USB charging plug.
That solves nothing. I want one that can be used in both the car and house like I had before. Does anyone know of one that does that, other than the one I linked to?
Look on amazon dude, there are quite a few. And don't be rude to people who are trying to help you.
I think that's what u looking for

I was not being rude. Just because someone points out that something is not helpful is not being rude. Plus, I have looked at amazon. What I'm asking for is opinions on which one of those is of the best quality.

Thanks for finding that. It's a bit iffy given that it comes from ebay (I haven't had a lot of good come from ebay electronics purchases in the past) and because it says it's new but it has scratches and signs of use. Still, not a bad price. Do you know if that's one that'll last a while?
The one I had before was from a company called Gomadic, who sells a charger and different tips for different phones. It's a great charger and outlasted my phone, but the charger costs almost 30 bucks and each tip costs about 6 dollars, and then you have shipping added on to that.
I'm thinking about buy one to for my car...I'm going to see them
