Would you be able to take a pic of the Wizard in that charger? It's hard to judge the size of it.
I use this one. So handy for 'all thumbs' users.

But cannot...
Still can't charge a spare battery. Wonder why they aren't making one that can charge a spare battery espcially when battery power is such an issue with this phone! :evil:
Still no spare battery charger:

Here's another source for the horizontal cradle:

Anyone have any experience with this or the vertical one? Pros, cons?

Vertical cradle
I just purchased a vertical cradle from an outfit in the UK (Hamill Dist.) but haven't received it yet. I based my decision on a favorable report from HTC Wizard Web (http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/510). The Ebay unit looks identical, and I figured it wasn't rocket science and basically a plastic holder with USB connector at the bottom.
I'll report back when I receive it and test it out.

I bought
the boxwave vertical cradle and have been using it for a couple of weeks. Not a bad design, but could be better. Needs a spare battery slot. Also, the mini-usb connector is sort of long and you have to be carefull when putting the phone in and out of the dock. I'm afraid I might break it off in the phone at some point. Nothing like that has happened yet, but it just doesn't feel bullet proof.
I'm using an old Rolodex card holder with my sync cable as a horizontal cradle...works absolutely great! The 8125 happens to be a near-perfect fit when oriented horizontally. Pulled it our of my office's back room right before it was going in the trash...

I am using the Boxwave one. Here are my thoughts:
1) I also am using the FlexiSkin. The 8125 does fit with the skin on, but you have to remove the cradles clear plastic support piece (or just leave it off to begin with).
2) Connection - the power part charges easily, but the sync part takes a little more wiggling/time to work than I am used to with the OEM USB cable. I am not sure if it is because of the FlexSkin, the cradle or what...I'll test it out.
3) Design. It is light, and you have to operate with 2 hands to put on and remove. My sync cradle for my old Casio E125 had this lift button to remove the device easily, and I wish this did.
4) Bottom is covered. If you plan ahead, no biggy. I just keep a spare stylus by the cradle because I kept forgetting to remove it before syncing. You may also want to have your bluetooth headset ready, because answering the phone is a little awkward (whether removing the device, or using speakerphone). No way to use a wired set - the plug is covered.

Yes sir it is. It works really well so far
Peraltah:
Does it come with that extra battery as well, or just the charger?

Just the chargers. It comes with a usb cable to attach it to the computer and a normal american outlet charger. If you buy them off of ebay I remember seeing one that comes with a battery. I dont trust the battery that it comes with though I rather just spend the extra cash and be sure of the quality of the battery. Hope this helped
Peraltah,
Thanks for the info. I did order one and I think from what I read one 1100 mah non OEM battery comes with it, will see when it comes to me. See the link below in the product features.

But it doesnt have the spare battery charger
that would have been a nice addition.
I've just got an ok one from ebay, it doesn't have room for spare battery unfortunatly, but comes with built in usb cable and also a charger so you can have both plugged in, so when pc is on it will charge through usb and when off will charge from mains,

zc57 2X Battery+Charger For HTC Wizard 838 100 200
Batteries are available at various places (for ex: http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=142990) anyone know of a charger that has a 2nd battery slot that will fit this?
I know no cradles exist yet for this phone but it'd be helpful if I could find a cradle that'll atleast charge a spare battery for me.
Thanks in advance!
I just bought a cradle with extra battery charger from Veripart. Here is the link to a Dutch shop for more information:

Another user posted a link to this earlier. I don't know how well it works but you can't really go wrong with a simple USB cradle. It even has extra space to accommodate the rubber USB cover.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190151821791
search ebay for "wing desktop" one of the vendors out there has a nice cradle that charges the device and an extra battery at the same time

I had a desk stand for my wizard a while ago, but I sent it back because it wasn't charging properly. I used to have a great looking stand for my Magician, but there seems to be a lack of quality stands for the wizard. Does anyone have one they'd recommend?
Where are the answers I'm waiting too

I bought this one from Ebay for under $20 shipped. Not sure what you're looking for, but I've been very happy with it. It has a power adapter cable for charging through the mini-USB port, PLUS a separate USB cable to sync with the computer.
I like the angled cradle stand. I can more easily use the keyboard and use the apps while in the cradle charging/syncing. Since I have this desktop cradle, a car charger, and the OEM charger on my desk at work, I didn't opt for a charger w/extra battery that could charge both at once.

Looks a bit plasticy. I got one from eBay, but I had to return it because it was faulty. The one you posted looks like what I want as long as it's fairly solid.
While it IS "plasticky", it's proven to be very solid. I've had it for almost a year now without having any issues with it. I've purchased several accessories from this particular vendor for my phones over the years, and haven't had any issues with any of them -- so, I can personally vouch for the quality of the products they list.
Hi
I have noticed that when using a car charger that worked on my older htc phone it heats up the jade and then it eventualy locks i have to hit the reset button or pull the battery.
has anyone else found this or know of a way round it, I like my old one as it has about a 2m cable whish reaches exactly where i need it to.
has anyone else seen a car charger like this that works with the jade?
cheers
Tom
I have a charger from an old O2 phone and it's working fine. I had no problems with car charger so far.
I looked on the mains charger i had with the device and it says output is 5V, I think the car charger is giving out 12V as I think it's just a straight through usb light socket so i wouldn't imagine it's stepping down that much, only problem is i don't like the chargers with curly cables i want a straight cable or a charger that just has a usb socket on it.
any idea where i could find that?
I have another option of adding another lighter socket on the dash of the car near where the phone is but i don't really like drilling holes in the car if i don't have to!
ok a quick google and i have found a 4 usb port 5v car charger so fingers crossed that will sort my problem out.
it's quite cool as it has surge and over load protection for each port so if one shorts out the others carry on working.
Hi,
I already bought 2 car charger kits but non of them fit, they all have a mini USB and not the special one the Jade needs.
Can anyone give me a LINK for a proper car charger, cause on eBay they sell all the mini USB crab which obviously doesn't work!
Thanks!

Whats wrong with the mini usb ones? Thats what I use.
As the subject says, due to the lack of wireless charging I would really like to see a cradle for the OnePlus 5 (as well as the 3/3T). I know there are plenty of USB cradles for phones out there but there are none with dash charge, I'm not sure a standard usb cradle would be able to transfer the dash charge functionality.
So, to the question, would anyone else be interested if OnePlus could make either a cradle attachment for dash charging or a cradle which would be the dash charger and just have a normal plug?
As the phone is sitting in it you could use it for an alarm clock next to your bed also while it's charging although portrait orientation would make more sense for charging.
I'll add a poll later, unfortunately, the network in my work hates XDA and the pages break all the time
just find a stand imo. you shouldn't need dash charging capabilities if you plan on using the cradle/dock for extended periods.
So I was thinking the same thing and I did find a dock with dash charging on amazon (us). I bought it and can confirm that dash charging does work.
I have some pics below and proof of dash charging.
Amazon link belo if anyone is interested
