Motherload of Apache VX6700 Accessories!

I'm offering a treasure trove of supplies to the lucky HTC Apache VX6700 owner!
If it wasn't because my work recently upgrade my phone to a VX6800 Mogul... and traded-in all of the VX6700 Apache Pocket PCs - I wouldn't be parting with these!
For the past two years - I've gifted my trusty Pocket PC phone with a wide variety of add-ons and "must haves" - from countless software programs (thank you, www.handango.com) to more than just a few spare batteries (as we often spent a week away from any power outlets). Since I not only docked my phone on my office desk, but also charged it in the car, as well as at home, I have three desk-style charges made exclusively for the VX6700. Two from Seidio, and one that is rather fancy - with a clear stylus that - when put into the hole on the stand - glows blue. Each of the drop-in desk chargers come with their own plug-in wall chargers (one simply not shown, as it's still in the original bag). We also have two additional belt holster cases, one a fancy leather side mount case with magnetic clasp. .As you can see, the Seidio chargers can accommodate many of the larger extended use batteries, as well as recharge the phone at the same time. So does the fancy model!
The batteries are each fairly new and hold a reliable charge... the most recent being a 1500mAh/3.7V Li-ion olymer battery - from Seidio only just purchased 12-29-07. The others are: another 3.7 Li-ion Battery, a UTstarcom 1350 mAh/3.7V Li-ion battery, and an extend-use 3.7V Li-ion battery (for when you need longer talk or access time). Two battery covers for use with extended batteries is included in this offer. We upgraded this past February, so the new battery hardly got two months worth of use.
I have also included three extra stylus - as I could we kept misplacing them. Two of these have a little ball in the shaft - to keep it in place when slipped into the phone.
I've also included a spare Motorola/USB cable - as you just don't know where you'll be when you need one!
Lastly, you'll find one of the best industrial-strength metal cases around! This truly is a great device to protect your phone, as it has a healthy layer of inner foam to act s not only a shock absorber from the accidental fall from the him (albeit that never happened with me) but it helps to grip and nest your pocket PC in the holder... nice and snug-like. The metal case is covered in a flat black enamel and has ports to allow not only access to the camera, but also the external battery port on the rear of the phone, as well as the speaker. Side access to all buttons is also easy. The front offers a clear window for ease of viewing - without having to open the case each time you need to see the screen! This comes with it's own belt clip, too.
All items I'm offering - I purchased either through ebay, or directly from the vendor.
Combined, these cost over $175...! I know - as we had to explain their purchases to our bookkeeper - for tax purposes.
My loss is your gain...!
Good luck... and, Thank You, for your kind consideration.

And how much are you asking for these items?

"How much" you ask...?!
You know, as soon as I posted the missive, it donned on me that I didn't say how much we were looking to get for the lot. We'd be willing to let it all go for $100, plus shipping. Surely a fair cost - considering all that is included!

If you want to break things up, pm me, I might be interested in a extra charging stand and maybe a battery or 2 (if they are fairly new).....

If you decide to split up the items, I'd like to know how much the metal case costs if it permits you to slide out the keyboard while its on...

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.

TB Design Flaw - debating returning

Am I the only one who noticed the charging port is located below the kickstand on the opposite of the hinge side?
That means no charging when placed on a table in landscape mode, wow really HTC, how did that pass design? should have been placed on the bottom or on the hinge side of the kickstand. Now we can't charge our phone while watching a movie, etc. while using the kickstand.

They want you to buy the dock apparently. At least mine works with the stand going upside down. Not ideal, but it does stay up

Didn't think about using it upside down, I guess that will work, still bad design. But you are probably right, done to make us buy the dock. Thanks

You could also do what a guy in the store when i went to play with one, who noticed this with the floor models said... just have it on the edge of a table? Also not ideal, but would keep you from dropping $$ on the dock option. But if your seriously using your phone to watch movies in a place where you can charge it/use the stand you might want to consider getting the dock. I see the main benefit of the stand/phone for movies is when your on the go and likely can't plug it in anyway.

Then again if I use as you described wouldn't the video be upside down? I don't think it rotates to landscape that way, unless I am missing something

No offense, but you seriously didnt know what was an issue before buying the phone? Not trying to be a jerk, but it was pointed out in each and every review I read of the device starting back at CES. It is to accomodate charging while in the multimedia dock.

Same complaint here! Anyone know if L-shaped power pigtail connectors are available?
It seems to be designed for left-handed people, well except for the kickstand.

I guess I overlooked it, wasn't concerned with the kickstand when looking at all the specs, bottom line is we should be able to view landscape with kickstand while charging. bad design.

Hurray for smart thinking
a right angle microusb cord...can be found on amazon for under $10
edit: wow i cant even post the link or pictures cause i need a minimum of eight posts....
whatever im sure you can search amazon also

Debating on disregarding everything awesome about this phone because you can't charge and use the kickstand at the same time? Wow.

Design flaw probably not, just a compromise. If you look at the hinge side of the kickstand it goes in deeper into the phone probably causing the design not to have enough space for the usb... maybe they could have put it on the bottom but i'm sure there was a reason. I work with designers and they are quite thoroughl. And from the HTC team video for the thunderbolt those guys look like they know what they are doing. You could return it and not have LTE or wait for a phone with LTE and no kickstand. Pick your flavor

Yes, a right angle will reduce the offset, but it will still cause the phone to not set horizontally properly. Still gonna need something to prop up the other side of the phone.
You can always post a link without the http:// part, people can paste that into their browser.

been searching everywhere. Need a usb with a bend like this.

then it will be flatter than the other 90 degree cables

If I was a betting man I would say it is verizons fault. It seems like all of there recent phones have been like this. But maybe im wrong.

Verizon has no say in that.
I didn't realize it would block the kickstand until I tried it, so it's annoying but whatever. Just another silly decision like putting the kickstand in front of the speak. Stuuuuupid.

If the port wasn't there the dock would be harder to make (you wouldn't be able to just set it in the dock without plugging anything in), and if it was on the volume rocker side you wouldn't have access to those buttons while docked. So it was a design compromise and a design that gives people an incentive to buy the dock, which is a win for the manufacturer. HTC makes phones and accessories to make money, not to give us a free standup movie player or alarm clock. I guess they could have put the port on the back of the phone somewhere but that would look silly and you wouldn't be able to lay it down and charge. I bought the dock for my OG droid and it was well worth the money, I'll surely be buying the dock for my bolt when it's available.

All that makes sense, but HTC knows how to do docks right...look at the Nexus 1 and its dock (I have 2 of the docks). Separate charger pins that don't use the usb port (which is also a charger). Similar would have been a nice compromise.

If a kickstand was my main reason for purchasing this device, then I might consider a return. Sure, maybe it's a design flaw, but so far, if that's the only evil we have to deal with..
I'ma let you finish, but HTC makes the best 4G phones of all time.
..of all time.

All these little nit picky things confuse me, is someone actually buying this device to use as something other than a phone? Sure, it browses the internet, has 4g, checks facebook, takes nice pictures, is really fast, but I am sure the **** not sending a video out to my tv, or streaming to videos or you tube to my tv , or trying to play "real" video games, that is why I have a laptop or home pc, it's a phone. I must be confused.

I agree. Phone first everything else second. The kickstand isnt designed so you can watch full fledged movies. It is made for occassional use. If it really bothers you...buy the dock or return the TB and get Samsung Stealth which dont even have a kickstand.

An awesome case for the Surface Pro

So if any of you guys out there are like me, you're digging the surface pro, but not digging it's limited storage and lack of usb ports.
Well i found a case that adresses both problems, but it's not quite finished yet.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1759031369/prokase-a-professional-case-for-the-microsoft-surf
It adds 1 usb port for a total of 2 usable usb ports, and adds 2 micro-SD/SD card slots, which allows you to quite literally triple the space of your surface pro.
Check it out, I think it's a good idea, without being too big (3/8ths of an inch) but the biggest problem with the kickstarter campaign is publicity.

its certainly interesting, I will give them that.
But that USB cable is just awful, literally it took me 2 seconds to think up a viable alternative which would have been far slimmer.
It also makes what is already on the bulky end of the tablet scale even bulkier.

That just looks horribly bulky, imo. With all the thickness that that's adding you're approaching a laptop's thickness on the tablet, not to mention it looks like it takes a good 20 or 30 seconds to open up and set up.
And that USB cable, disgusting. They should just put a retractable flat cable (Like this one) with a small usb connector on one end, they could probably get it to be almost flush with the tablet.

I was thinking flat cable into a right angled usb connector, a very slim one. You don't need to have the full metal plug around the outside of a USB, a piece of PCB would do. That could be almost flush with the tablet then.

I have looked at this thing 3 times now and I keep thinking to myself that if somebody is going to expect me to add this much bulk for functionality, then it better double my battery life...but this doesn't seem to have an extended battery, so what is the purpose? Why not just make a desktop dock with similar functions?

No chance its going to make its funding requirement by the deadline.

Self-developed Nexus 4 Dock

Update:
Crowd funding campaign is online:
www.startnext.de/en/andock
Hello everyone,
Today I would like to ask you about your opinion on my self-developed Nexus 4 Dock. First, I wanted to develop the station just for me, because I couldn’t find a Nexus 4 docking station that really fits my needs. Now I’m thinking about starting my own crowd funding campaign with this station. I already got some positive feedback on the German website android-hilfe.de.
The features of my docking station are:
- SlimPort included
- Active cooling by a fan to prevent the usual CPU throttling
- Display in widescreen format unlike the usual docking stations
- NFC-Tag
- cube shape design
- Docking Station is weighted to provide more stability
I also created a website for this project: andock.com
What do you think? Would you be interested in such a station? Thank you for your opinion.
So here are some pictures:

1) Frankly, the prototype looks terrible, especially when placed next to the Apple mouse and keyboard with their curves. Hopefully that's not what the final product will look like. Some round corners might help.
2) Take the LED away. It's not going to do jack if it's behind the phone. You won't be able to see it from the front.
3) Consider making the thickness of the "gap" around the micro usb adjustable so as to accomodate a larger range of phones. One way to do that is to make the gap wider, but provide plastic pieces that can be slipped into the gap to make it narrower. Think ipod dock adapters.
4) You need a better looking power button. It looks like something from the 70s, in which case you should make the dock out of wood. (In that case, disregard point 1 about rounded corners).
5) If possible, the dock should be powered by a micro usb.

Thank you for you quick and honest response.
1) Personally I am not a friend of the “apple curves “ and I especially don’t want to get sued. I wanted to create my own design. But everyone has a different opinion about design and that’s why I asked about your feedback.
2) You can also see the LEDs on the other side
3) SlimPort doesn’t work for other phones either, but depending on the feedback I will also make adjustments for different smartphones.
4) I will think about it. It’s still a prototype.
5) It’s powered by a USB cable.

Well I like it!

Does it charge the phone fast enough to gain a charge when outputting it to a TV? How about with Bluetooth on also for controllers and the like?
I agree that it would be nice to have it adjustable to fit other phones (and cases/bumpers). This might be the only phone with a Slimport, but who's to say other phones won't have them soon?
I agree the whole thing does look a little old school, but as long as its functional.
I would also prefer no LED light, but I might in the minority. I hate how everything in my home has a glow to it LOL.
Ultimately the biggest determining factor for me in buying something like this would be price.

As an N4 owner I'm excited to see any development of nice quality support h/w.
One doubt I have is for the fan cooling. I don't think the case of the N4 is really designed to dissipate much heat to the surrounding air (like most phones) with no fins and a pretty poor thermal conductivity (glass and plastic). I can't imagine that an external fan would help much, and just drive up cost and annoying noise of the dock.

You can switch the fan on and off. Besides I got good results in tests with the fan on. If you run a lot of benchmarks in a row (especially while the Nexus 4 is charging and connected to a TV via bluetooth), you’ll experience a decrease of the benchmark score. The fan definitely reduces this issue. I will post some results in the next days.
I want to make the price as low as possible without any quality restrictions. It will be under 100 Euro.

Great to see people developing unique accessories for the Nexus 4, but for me this dock is just awkward.

The power switch should be replaced with something more modern, and the design should maybe better match the N4. Maybe a glossy black plastic and an led mounted under a more transparent plastic like the led on the N4 is mounted under the glass. Over all, I love the idea and would probably buy it even in its current state.

I'd love it as a kit to put together myself and keep the cost down... already as an option.
100euros would be a bit steep imo. I can already get a dock for cheap.
Your slot should come with a way to accommodate cases too... atleast the bumper

Your dock is interesting, but, unless you're a developer that needs a cable connection (in my opinion) it makes a lot more sense just to buy an Orb and be done with it. File transfers can be done with AirDroid (for example). Wireless charging on the Orb is just as fast as trough cable (I have one) and it doesn't have the hassle of connecting/disconnecting the cable itself.
For someone that really wants the cable connection, it's useful. The design, if you want to really produce it, I'd recommend you to make it in a way that you can plug-in most android phones with the usb dock on the bottom. Make it simpler, why leds, buttons and fan (sorry, but I really don't think you need a fan in it)? Otherwise, good work.

Hi, I don't own a nexus 4 but I'm intrigued with ur project. To me, the concept is nice: something minimalistic, able to cool down the phone and provide connectivity to another device (or computer). It'd be a good idea if u can make the cube have a glossy texture, like white or black because it will still look nice even if u don't want to smooth out the edges. Also, it would be nice if it can accommodate phones that have a screen size of 5" or more (perhaps a slightly bigger cube). Also, I think led is fine but the switch for the fan should be smaller, maybe something rounded like the buttons of the iPhone 5 or a power button of any android phone and can also disguise with the cube's color. I believe something like that would look really nice on any desk.

Thank you for your feedback. I take it seriously.
Here is the promised article about the fan of my docking station:
http://www.andock.com/2013/04/the-temperature-of-google-nexus-4-with.html

The article + picture explains the purpose behind a dock like this, you essentially want to be able to run your N4 as a console (hence the fan and necessity of slimport) seems like a niche product for a niche phone.
Seems cool but for the same price I could get an Ouya and keep my phone for phone stuff.

I'm intrigued. If this went to market I would be very tempted to buy. Could set it on my desk, hook up sixaxis controller and jam out a few games easily.

It’s SLS.
I really liked it because of the structure of the material. It’s not like the usual plastic or FDM.

Judging by some of the Ouya reviews out there, it's probably advisable to stick with your phone for now.

It's beta/developer hardware right now, the retail stuff will have to be better (they are planning on selling at BB/Amazon.) The software on the other hand...I already went through that once with the boxee box (solid hardware + crap software.)
