I have two with regular Mini USBs, but they don't really fit as well as I would like. Has anybody found any with the correct E-USB plug in them? Preferably not one of those $40+ cradles, they will be far too expensive with Norwegian custom fees!

FYI, boxwave is now selling accessories for the Touch Cruise in the US. www.boxwave.com. Looks like they've got a cradle and some other accessories. I'm ordering my cradle now 8).

Nice spot. Thanks for the info. I fancy the cradle, the 3.5mm headset adaptor and the pair of retractable charge and charge/sync cables.
When you get the cradle could you please post back specifically on the power supply. It doesn't look like it from the pictures but there's just a possibility that the power brick is physically designed to be international, i.e. the prongs that plug into the wall socket are on a separate mounting so that they can be swapped for UK, continental Europe or other plug configurations (e.g. PalmOne do this). The spec on the site does at least confirm it is a universal voltage supply but the physical plug compatibility is a big issue.
If the adaptor is only supplied with a fixed US configuration then could you please confirm that the input voltage, current and tip polarity are pretty clear from the instructions or labelling on the cradle itself so that I know it will be easy to correctly set up a universal supply brick.
Thanks.

Edit: I just noticed that Dave said above "... boxwave is now selling accessories for the Touch Cruise in the US". As an addendum/clarification for international readers, if you click through to the boxwave web site they do explicitly say in the FAQ section that "We ship our products worldwide."
I think the PS is for the US, but they also sell international adapter kits. I think they've even got a bundle that include the cradle and the international kits.

I got the leather sleeve. It is very nice...top quality. The soft reset button is somewhat covered by the leather...but not enough that it can't be used. That aside, it really is like a glove. You really done even notice it unless you have the belt clip attached.
Hi all,
I've got the desk stand for the TD1 with the stock adapter, and the adapter for the extended battery. Unfortunately the TD2 fits neither of these adapters.
I jut thought I'd post to let others know - am off to try and see if HTC (someone?) does just the adapter to make it fit....

Cradle adapter (on it's own) was announced before release of the TD2.
Here ..... http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=179105
Got it from Clove in the end - slightly chepaer and I prefer dealing with them over Expansys.

How much for a piece of plastic?! ...anyway, how does the phone look in the cradle?
Unfortunately they sent the TD1 insert - I returned it but they are not due stock of the TD2 one for a couple more weeks, pic when I get it...

I used this one for my TD1 from Brando, same problem the TD2 doesn't fit. But I could sell it to someone with a Touch Pro 1.
Bought the TD2 version from Brando and I am very satisfied.
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?
so I've been using the generic ebay evo 3D dock that doesn't have any guide on the side and require one to wiggle the phone around to insert the charge tip into the phone. Getting a bit tire of this, and wanting to buy a new dock.
Does anyone know, beside the Seidio and the new Kidigi HDMI dock (too expensive) any other alternate options for Dock that would work with a case (typical TPU case)?
Yes I searched, there were a few thread discussing docks but no answer to my question.
No, I don't want to use a car dock like iGrip (i use that in my car already)
Thanks
I have a couple of 3rd party cables and with both it seems like the USB-C connector is slightly too large to fit in the port on the OP5. These cables fit fine on other USB-C ports but on the OP5 it feels like it shouldn't fit in there and that I'm going to break something if I keep forcing it. Anyone had this experience before? Visually they look slightly bigger than the dash cable that came with the OP5 but it's a standard size port so it shouldn't make a difference.
I use Anker cables without issue

Everything fits here too with All of my different cables and adapters
Mine (1x local cheap store, 1x AliExpress with 90° connectors) work just fine. No issues here.
Another vote for Anker cables here, fabulous quality, braided cables and never had an issue with them, I have Anker hubs and they're great too. Should be available from your country's Amazon site. As for the cable you already have, if it "feels too big" (ooer) then I wouldn't force it, you could end up damaging the port and then you're in a world of hurt.
Aukey cables are fitting a little bit more tight (than the original one), but nothing to be concerned about. Better more tight that more loose.
