Due in Feb. Although pictured, the GPS antenna wasn't listed but I'm hoping it's included. If so, not bad for £29.95 me thinks.

Isn't this for the Trinity?
The car holder shape has to be for the Polaris.. this is abit too rounded.

I wouldn't know mate. I saw it on HTC's site listed under accessories for the Polaris. But considering the location of the the GPS socket etc, you are probably right.

Is this available for the Kaiser?
I want this so bad, does anyone know if there is something like this for the Kaiser?

Considering that the Polaris Nav Upgrade Kit is available in Feb, I suspect that they do not yet have a picture of the Polaris version and are using this to give us an idea of what it is that we are waiting for.

I don't think this one is but I found a Brodit one here. I'm sure other brands will follow if not available already.

Hello Abbsta,
thanx for the answer, not good.....
The Brodit doesn´t fit 100%, i had it here at the weekend and send it back. Only 99%, the 1% is to put the orbit 2 in the brodit, you need to much power, you have to push it hard and then you even don´t get it out without more power to pull it out *autsch*. i think it´s only 1/10 millimeters, but these 1/10 millimeters doesn´t fit to 100%

Hello Harry,
Thanks for the feedback and hope you have a better luck next time.
Personally I'm waiting to see that pack that I initially posted. Not exactly like that picture but same product for Polaris as it would be perfect for me when renting cars and travelling across Europe.

Will this pack only be available at expansys, or also in shops like amazin? I think the shipping prices at expansys are an unbounded cheek

For the record, the Orbit 2 comes with this kit as standard.

I know, HTC original-buyers don't and have to keep waiting, not fair...

I got one of these supplied with my Orbit 2 when I got it from the O2 shop earlier this month. The cradle fits perfectly but the gooseneck is a bit too short for fitting in a convenient place on a raked windscreen. I use the cradle with the fixings from an XDA IIi vent mounting kit and its great for me.
Cheers
Neil

Cheers for the info Neil. I'll have a look at vent mounting kits.

I find expansys Germany taking me for a ride, postponing the release date of this package on and on. They postponed it every two weeks since the end of february, I'm really pissed, how's that in other countries?

Brodit does the best vent monthing kits.

Is there a Cradle yet??

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a cradle yet?
boxwave wants you to pay $50 for one with battery charger...
bit steep...
aah the good old days when pdas came with cradles...
Hi,
I use my old orbit cradle which works fine and only £13.98
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=5805
Try this
http://cgi.ebay.de/Dockingstation-f...yZ123182QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It works for my Orbit II (and I think TC too) but the seller delivers this cradle only in Germany.
Some have started appearing on eBay.
I bought one (£3.90 + £5.00 delivery from Hong Kong).
Should arrive this week!
does it charge a spare battery too?
I just got this one.. no problems.. works great!
Cost was about $24 Delivered.

I got the same cradle, but the mini-usb connector is too high on mine -- the Touch Cruise never touches the bottom of the cradle, and instead ends up "floating" on top of the USB plug. Not good...

Is it a GOOD fit for the Orbit 2?
Many cradles seem targeted at the HTC versions and these can differ slightly and make it difficult to slide over the connector. Can you confirm the Orbit 2 fits well into this cradle?
Thanks.
Nope, it's not a good fit for the orbit 2. The o2 will fit in it, but it's resting on the USB jack which isn't good.

Boxwave Cradle
I got one off ebay and the USB connector on it was to long. It would not sit all the way down in the cradle. Then I saw this one on Boxwave. Costs a little more but it fits perfectly. Comes with or without a Spare Battery Charger
http://www.boxwave.com/products/desktopcradle/htc-touch-cruise-desktop-cradle_3046.htm
Not exactly a cradle, but...
Just ordered this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FOR-HTC-TOUCH...tcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I'll have to use an adapter, but it has a USB output for charging, so no need to take the supplied wall wart.
Just a quick comment.
With the eBay cheapo dock, I have to connect two USB cables for it to sync properly. I guess the dock itself is drawing quite a bit of current. Probably by its super bright tacky blue LED...
May be a problem for people who haven't got a lot of USB ports.
Is anyone using this desktop cradle from Clove Technology?
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....category=3F64F95C-E53B-499D-8CDA-DAFC84465AF0
I'm wondering is it a proper fit for the touch cruise.
By the way does anyone know why HTC removed accessories from their website?
Edit:Sorry, HTC did not remove accessories from their website but they don't have a desktop cradle
Good prices.

I think that cradle that he has pictured is actually a Diamond cradle with the plastic insert removed so the HD will fit.
For me it looks like this one: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/212118340/KiDiGi_Deluxe_Desktop_Cradle_for_HTC.html
But didnt find a shop in germany/switzerland which sells it.
Hope to find one of these (or equivalent ones) soon.

Your correct.
The insert has been removed - actually pretty dangerous as your likely to damage either the cradle or the HD - suitable only for a quick photo as you effectively ballancing the phone on the cradle with no support?
The usb port on the bottom of the HD DOES NOT support audio (cradle speakers OR usb headset) which for me is very dissapointing nor does the port support the TV Out function that you get with the Pro - the port is for charging and data only so looks like HTC will either bring out a completely new cradle OR you'll have to go with a 3rd party solution (Expansys already have one for pre-order listed here under accessories?)
I have the HD (collected from HandTec on Thursday) - I also have the Diamond and the Pro and so have been comparing them constantly for a few days now.
My conclusion so far for what its worth - the HD is NOT an upgrade from the Pro or Diamond - it is in fact a very different phone and should be considdered in its own right and not compared. As a business user - stick with the Pro - for general phone use - go for the diamond - for entertainment on the move - the HD "may" be the phone for you? I'll be sticking with my Pro for general business use and will continue to work on the HD for now....
Hope this helps......

That one looks really crappy.
I have just received my HD yesterday and in one of the accessories booklets it shows an official HD docking station.
I'm also waiting for that one to be released.
Isnt this like the original one?

The DELUXE looks very nice
On the deluxe image above, is that a large door/flap that opens up? Is that to support the HD so it leans on the door otherwise there is nothing to accidentalyy prevent the hd forcefully pushed backwards and thus damaging the usb connector or phone.
Is there any news about the official HTC Touch HD cradle?
Hope to be able to get it soon.

silicon case/cover 4 da Touch HD?
I think this is what we all need any one seen em?
they look nice on da eyefone so they will look even better on our HD's . . . .

Can we get some screenshots and reviews?
i bought a nice cradle for my TyTN a few years ago, it fit snuggly. Trouble I had with it, was it didnt always fit the little usb slot first time, it'd hit the edges and envariably start to chip away around the paint.
With all the people with chipped paint issues i'm already paranoid enough, i'm not sure I am going to get a usb cradle.
audio out
Do any of these cradles come with 3.5mm audio jacks built into them?

Car Holder for the Hero?

Anyone knows if car holder for the Hero is available already? Although when I think of the Hero's chin probably a magnetic holder will be the most convenient way.
Yeah, I'm hoping for a Brodit one (I think it's Brodit I got, the one where you have to have one part for your car specifically and the other for your phone)
Found this one yesterday announced: http://www.carcomm.nl/carcomm/news/?id=E5753E64-5056-8659-0812B96B2335F62C
I got this one, might not be the most stylish but it works well.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-LCD-Screen...ries?hash=item2ea6de18c5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
I'm also waiting for the Brodit one, but the carcomm one does look good, would be interested in knowing the price though.
Brodit have gone a bit off for me, using cheap crap Cig lighters. They used to give you the option to have a hardwire version with a straight cable (neater to tuck away) rather than the curly cable with the cig adaptor
Car Holder for hero
hi peeps found this one http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=184805
Wow, all the official stuff's pretty damn expensive!
oh yeah, it always is.
Just like the BHS200 bluetooth stereo headset...it's just a re-branded I-tech clip S35 (i think), but once it's rebranded to HTC, it's double the price of the original!!
Brodit
I had contact with someone at brodit and he told me it will take an other 4-5 weeks before they release the Hero car holder.
This is due to holidays in sweden...

It has kind of a cheap feel to it, but it fits the hero PERFECTLY and clings to the car's air vents, so it takes little space and can barely be seen when not holding the phone.
Through Amazon market place. The official car solution @ £39.99 is only £27.99

Guess its another 2 weeks to go eh? Could really do with this, got some Car driving to do soon and could do with the charge while mounted option. Ah well
Looking forward to the Brodit pro-clip (once you try a pro-clip, you never go back!).
The Hero's 'chin' is going to make sliding it onto a male USB connector pretty difficult (with the strange angle I mean). I'm sure the Brodit guys can work it out though
There's no doubt that they are expensive, but you get what you pay for I suppose.

Should be alright, they managed it with the Magic, it had a slight chin. Feels like waiting an eternity!
Still no sign of it on Brodit.com.....
I emailed Brodit this morning. They replied that the HTC Hero holder will be released "any day now".

These sleeves are available in a Dutch shop: http://www.paradigit.nl/PARADIGIT/p...io_100_Cover_sleeve/PA3913E_1ETB/default.aspx

Charger stand

Anyone have tips on making a charger stand or dock?
I basically have to have my watch on its face to charge.
Mine charges perfectly fine.. Never need to put it on its face.
I have the gunmetal with the brown leather band. I'm able to set it upright on the band with the band open. It doesn't look great but at least it's face up.
Would a *spit* applewatch stand work, or would the weight of the watch cause it to fall off? Could mould a disc from plastic or something to fit the circle and poke the charger through for the Zen?
You could use a simple wooden dowel with a 45° angle and screw the charging kit on top. (it looks like the old charging kit doesn't fit and we have to wait for a new version)
Built one
I've got the same Idea and built a dual Charger today. Looks great and works great, too

I'm using a product called "tizi tankstelle" which can be found on amazon. They've got other USB-Chargers etc. as well. You can have a look here:

Dude that is flipping sweet. In fact I think I will make that tonight. My phone wirelessly charges, so I would want to have a hole on the base to fit the puck. I actually think I would like the phone to be inclined with a footer, so I can just drop it without having to worry about alignment.
Wow what a great idea. It would make great gifts too.
The only problem I would have is I have a metal band that doesn't open, so I would have to make a L bracket so I can slide it over.
Thanks. Pls upload a picture of your finished work
If you want to go cheap I found 2 projects on Thingiverse. In my current city there are no 3D printer (checked on 3dhubs.com), once I'll come back to the University I'll try to print something.

Yes, I actually bought two. It worked perfectly in two different watch stands.
Has anyone found a source for spare charging cables yet? Google Store doesn't allow me to put in cart... Must be because I'm in Canada. :/

I am in the same boat. Would love a spare charger for at work.
hopefully ebay will have these soon enough.
Side note: do you find your watch has horrible connection distance/ always disconnects?

Yes, yes I do. One of the things I have found that helped a bit was to go into the Battery in the Settings, hit the 3dot menu, go into Battery Optimization and stop optimizing Android Wear. Hasn't solved the problem, but it has helped.
Either this is an issue with the Nexus 6P's bluetooth or the Zenwatch 2 is screwing bluetooth up big time. I've been having issues with my bluetooth headphones and with uConnect in my truck too. Eventually I need to take the ZenWatch 2 out of the equation and see if my BT problems go away. But it's been bad.

You can use this with any Apple Watch stand and you have one for under $30.

Thanks for this. I ordered mine from Amazon, and was surprised how well it worked. Bought an elander stand to go with it and it's pretty well perfect. Only wish there was more hardware/software support for this watch, as I'm finding that there isn't a lot out there for it. Shame too, because I think it's a very underrated watch.
If I may make a suggestion, the imprinted logo on the bottom doesn't make for adhering a sticky patch on it all that great.
