Just bought desktop cradle with some other accessories bundle at ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370151123238
I think this is a pretty good deal.
i see from brando.com having also some nice deaktop cradle but then its pretty expensive IMO
Thanks for the link, is there any charger that will charge with the silicon case still on?

For UK buyers there's MobileFun.
They sell both types which are the correct one's for the Touch HD (not the badly fitted one's that you can find elsewhere).
See here for the cheaper HTC Touch Desktop CHarging Cradle.
See here for the dearer Deluxe HTC Touch HD Desktop Charging Cradle.
I have both.
Note: Both are much cheaper than Expansys.

my desktop cradle from ebay finally arrive today in a nice small box.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370151123238
You may want to see the items bundle with the purchase.
i tested immediately by charging the battery and syncing the touch HD without any delay. I would say the cradle is nicely built. I tested the cradle by putting my touch HD in the silicon case and plug it in and it still fit nicely into the cradle and syncing as well. (I need some additional force to push it in due to the thickness of the silicon i have) But it will be effortless for me to sync the HD if i remove the silicon case.
No regrets buying the cradle. The only useless thing i feel is the pouch that came with it. Its simply too tight, Must tighter than the original touch HD pouch. I have a problem pushing the phone into it.
But in anyway the cradle is great!
Thanks for the feedback, are you using the grey transparent silicon case from ebay?

no... i didnt got my silicon case from ebay. i got it locally. Its a clear type transparent silicon .
I had another leather pouch which i also switches around to use....
Can you plug in a standard adapter into the cradle? It looks like it uses a UK adapter to another adapter for that cradle..
What is the battery like that comes with it too? It seems quite a cheap price

As for the adapter, I did not use the one that is provided. I uses my old dopod 900 charging adapter instead. Its the same voltage and also uses USB.
The battery is 1350mAh. So far been using it on my phone and so far so good.
There's a coincidence - I ordered the exact same thing a week or so ago. Waiting on delivery at the moment, but I'm happy to see that there's another user that thinks it was worth it.
Could Anyone advise a model with audio out ?
thanks !
Cradle
Hello,
could somebody please name the manufacturer of this cradle? I'm from Germany and I would be pleased not having to buy it from the UK. I didn't find anything similar in german shops yet.

I have both this case and the Deluxe one manufactured by Kidigi.com.
I can say that the case you mention does not have a manufacturers name, only HTC Touch HD.
I can say though that both cases are excellent.
i know its slightly off topic, but are the spare batteries sold on ebay with the cradles any good.. how long do they hold their charge?

Hey guys just wondering, since i recently just lost one of the stylus......(And im pretty upset about it to) that just leaves me with one. So, my question is, does anyone know where, i can buy one or one of those 3-pack of stylus?
Here: Ebay rocks!!
Thanks alot man, just bought me a 3 pack for less than $7.00. NICE......compared to what i would have had to have paid through other companies
For the British amongst us, eBay UK also has some low cost ones here: Touch HD Magnetic Stylus

Dude, thanks for that link. I'd lost one of my styli in a car accident (long story) and so I was thinking about going to HTC direct. Just bought two from that UK eBay seller for £2.49 each with free shipping
Happy as a pig in poo.
I miss-placed the one that comes in the phone a few weeks back, not sure where or how(it was after I got the new case). forgot that a spare is provided in the box and was wondering where I can get a replacement if I can't find the lost one, I'm in the uk so might order 1 or 2 from ashcan's link.
Source for good quality stylus?
Anybody know a good source to buy a higher quality stylus than the stuff sold on Ebay? I bought a 5 pack on Ebay and they are all broken, they are made very cheap and break very easily. Also my Noreve case tends to pull out the stylus each time you remove the phone so I tend to loose some that way too I am looking for the non-magnetic version of the stylus. Thanks.

Brando Stylus?
Whatever you do don't buy Brando! Worse than Ebay, at least the cheap Ebay stuff lasts a couple days, few weeks. Brando is even cheaper quality. I just got 3 for which I paid allot of money from Brando Hong Kong, the top is very cheap plastic and they are are breaking/falling apart, the whole stylus very cheaply built.

A stylus for use in the car with SatNav
There's a universal tethered stylus on eBay for use with touch-screen mobiles or SatNavs in cars.:
Tethered Stylus
I've got one and it is good quality.

I think you will find that the so-called "Non-Magnetic" versions of the Touch HD stylus on eBay and elsewhere are actually inferior copies that unlike the orignals, have slightly enlarged plastic tops.
Yes, they do stay in the slot as they are a tight fit but it wasn't deliberate by design. It's to stop them shooting back out as the magnets have been fitted in reversed polarity
Incidenatlly I'd beware of buying ANY stylus on eBay thats sold in quantity as it usually indcates a cheap quality. Also, ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS check an eBay seller's feedback before buying. The top listed seller currently selling cheap HD Touch stylus copies on eBay has thousands of negative feedbacks yet people are STILL buying them ???
Mobile Brando...
I've found good ones on EBAY...
At first I was looking for non-magnetic so that my Noreve case would not pull them each time I remove the phone to put it in my car mount. But so far what I purchased on Ebay (non-magnetic 5 pack) and 3 Pack Brando Hong Kong (magnetic) has been very poor quality junk! I am just trying to buy original stylus now but who knows where to get those from since nobody selling these things tell you whether they are original HTC or cheap junk. I think I saw a 3 pack on expansys (mobileplanet) and I am going to assume those are good original quality but they are out of stock right now.

Did you in fact check the feedback of the eBayers before buying these stylus? I've found that 99.9% of the time if an eBay seller is selling poor quality junk it is reflected in the seller's feedback.
Dont just look at the headline feedback percentage figure - if its not 100% check it more thoroughly. It amazing that a seller can in fact be showing 99.9% positive feedback but due to large volume sales can have thousands of negative feedbacks.
Just as FYI, I researched all of the sellers and this was the only site I found who were selling original HTC styli AND had them in stock in the United States:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=173044
I received the package today and they look exactly like the original ones, i.e. it has the small black tip, exact fitting plastic cap with small rectangular "bump" on the side, the magnet, etc. Yes they're expensive, but what can you do...
Hi sorry that im asking it here but, where i can buy new case? i tried to find on ebay's and cant find nothing, does anyone of you bought new case from somewhere and can share the source? and what should be the price of new case? black/pink or whatever, but new one looking

Cases for Motorola Razr will fit the standard StarTrek very nicely - might be rather a snug fit for the 3125 extended battery cover.
I got a very nice leather one for about $10 I think.
I've tried it. It works.

Casing on Ebay
You are probably searching for the wrong thing, and remember that this phone was sold under several names. So to find a replacement "housing" not case,on ebay.co.uk search for FULL HOUSING+KEYPAD FOR i-MATE SMARTFLIP and you should find Item number: 270351184604 which states more than 10 available priced at £20.49. Shipped from Hong Kong of course!
Hope this helps
Yesterday I found this great looking Docking-Station: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/de/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179445
It would look great with the HD but it doesn't fit. Is there anyone, who found a similar station that works with the HD?
This is really the only quality one I know of:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/desktopcradle/htc-touch-hd-desktop-cradle_3387.htm
Not the most attractive, but like I said, quality.
I'm also looking for a cradle that looks good, the only on I have found is this one:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=175740
However it seems pretty expensive and not to my particular tastes so I was wondering if there were any others too.
Does anyone have any recent experience of using the cheapo docking cradles available for the TouchHD on eBay? I'm based in the UK but would be happy enough to buy one from a seller over here or in Hong Kong.

All they do is connect the USB port to the computer, they are basically a USB lead with a built in stand for the phone. The ones with a second battery socket have a second power input and a charging circuit.

I've got two of those.
One with the extra battery loader.
Dirt cheap on ebay (11 and 16 euro's). Great build quality.
Have the loader on my desk and the other on my nightstand. GREAT!

I got a cheap one from eBay for my desk at work. It works fine for charging the Touch HD, but it doesn't physically support it very well. If you are clicking anywhere near the top of the screen, the phones bends away from you (if you can understand what I mean).
Thanks for all the feedback. Looks as though I may have to look for a slightly more expensive brand of cradle/dock.
Do any of the well-known brands come with the ExtUSB connector instead of the standard mini-USB connector?
Im have a CRG300 craddle, just used a dremmel to make on of the adapters fit the HD.
do you have a foto of the station with the hd in?
Heads up for anyone after a cradle for their Jade,
I have just bought one for £5.00 (£4.99 + £0.01 for postage), not official type but a bargain for the money, usual Ebay price for copies £15-20.

Hey
The link seems to be broken . Could you confirm?
Cheers.
......... OK found it.
Here is the link. Isn't Google wonderful.
There isn't any back support to the phone. I am be concerned having just the mini pin and tiny bit of the phone 'Holding' it upright. Could it damage the mini usb port?
Anyone who has used?

Anyone else got the official HTC Hero Cradle?
Mine just arrived and whilst it looks good there are a few faults..
It collects fingerprints like mad, and the bigger problem.. because of the chin on the hero it stands too straight upright.. it needs to be laid back a little more to make it easier to read if its in front of you on a desk.
It wouldn't be a problem on any phone thats straight (the cradle is universal and can have little adapters fitted for a few different HTC models).. but because of the curve of the chin the usb socket points at a weird angle.
I've got the cradle. It does collect fingerprints like mad, but the angle doesn't bother me at all.
the angle doesnt bother me. trying to get it out of the cradle bothers me. seems so difficult to pull out or even put in for that matter. will this ease up the more i use it?

Yes it will.
must say I'm pretty dissapointed with accessories for Hero. Official cradle seems to expensive, and to find cheaper one that has audio output on it? asking too much.
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-AC-Dual-Bat...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414c23acfb
looks like this can be it. but, can any cradle be used if the phone is in "soft silicon gel case cover" ?

I had one of these for another HTC phone (I can't even remember which now) and you need to have DC5V and USB both connected to reliably charge. And come on it's not that big
As for the official cradle, yes it is pretty expensive but it is very well made and don't forget it is universal - so you can just replace the adapter when you change to another HTC phone, ala iPod docks. Don't think it fits the Nexus One though? Or maybe just not yet.
ok thanx
I thought that it would be an easy thing to find. and cheap. but it's not really, looking at iSomething accessories, well... it's very hard to compare. There is iEverythingYouCanThinkOf, but only one or two models of HTC compatible docks with audio output. that's sad.
As long as the dock has a proper HTC ExtUSB connector on it and not just mini-usb you can get audio out easily from any of them.
Grab an Ext USB 3-in-1 Splitter from ebay (They look like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=57219&d=1194430021)
And plug into the dock.. thats what I did when I was using my kaiser dock before I bought the official one.
yes that was my plan
but noone said anything about docking a Hero with silicon gel protection on it? it's only about 2mm thick but will it fit? hmm...

From the site :

(with USB cable + power cable)
NoteThis dock only fits HTC HERO , and not to other HTC smartphones / phones!
Docking Station / Cradle for synchronization of data (between phone and PC) and to charge your HTC HERO and / or extra battery.
