I agree thats pretty messed up. We are drooling looking at your TC while knowing that our Christmas will be a little less festive without ours.
I'm not Cruel, but HTC. . . .has wet our appetites
It's all in HTC's hands. . . .sorry about that, but thanks for following the thread. You will not be disappointed with this phone (when it arrives). I don't intend to be cruel, just trying to give a comprehensive overview of the device and in this thread, how it can be docked at your desk.
I had one of these for my old O2 XDA Orbit: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/12706.htm
I can confirm that this DOES NOT fit the new HTC Touch Cruise. The bit behind the device is too curved which means that the TC has to lean forward and so it won't line up onto the USB plug which is angled backwards in the cradle. The positioning is OK left/right but the angle is badly wrong so it won't go in.
It's a shame because I liked this cradle, it was small, cheap and unobtrusive on the desk and I'd got quite addicted to just dropping the device into a cradle. I hope someone will post experiences if they find a similar device that does fit. The Universal Cradle that started this thread looks too big for me.

cradle for Polaris?
Hi guys,

I have the touch cruise and bought this cradle. The cruise fits fine in it. The one btsanev linked to looks nicer though

Are you sure we're talking about the same cradle? I bought mine in December 2007. Maybe they've changed the design because we can't both be right and I'm sure that neither of us has any reason for posting wrong information on this forum.
To try and get to the bottom of this:
1) When did you buy your cradle?
2) Are you sure it is exactly this model?
3) What angle is the USB plug relative to the vertical? My slopes backwards by about 20 degrees. I think that if there was even 5 degrees less rake on the connector then my TC would fit.
Until/unless Baimo and I can get to the bottom of this then I really wouldn't recommend any TC owner buying the cradle I linked to unless you view it as sufficiently cheap to just take a risk that this might be down to batch/manufacturing tolerances.

Thanks for the info. That one is definitely different to mine. Mine doesn't have that flat recessed bit at the rear of the device and it looks as if mine has much more rounded corners in the receiving area at the front of the device (the bit where the USB plug lives) which is the big problem with mine because those rounded corners mean that my TC can't sit back in the cradle so it won't align with the USB connector.
Is your TC a comfortable fit into this cradle or is it a case of it just fits but it's a bit tight?

Not at all tight, slides in really easily. You can tell it's not designed for the TC as it tilts maybe 1mm one way or the other (left to right) where the shape of the base doesn't exactly match the curve of the TC, but it's good enough.
My Brodit car holder for Artemis is fine too.

This is not available yet. I have call the guy in Hong Kong/China but he sounds like that he is waiting for enough order before he starts to manufacture it. I wonder how many of us will be interested in having one? If there is enough interest, I have connection in HK and will be able to import it to UK.

For those who are looking for a car holder for their TP2 and can't find one yet, I have made a useful discovery.
The Brodit TyTNII Holder actually fits the TP2 better than my TyTNII ever did!
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/holder/HTC+TyTN II-Brodit-Holder.asp
I tried it last night and it slid into the fixing nice and easily.
The only issue I had was that I have an active holder, so the miniUSB connector wasn't lined up and so wouldn't charge the phone. I'm sure with some careful modification it wouldn't be too difficult to sort that out though!
I'm now in two minds as to whether I even bother getting a proper TP2 kit when it's out!

Depends, you can just screw it into your car, but I use the Brodit Proclip which is different for every car. Mine hooks around the side of the radio and into another groove and is very solid, then the holders screw into the proclip.
Proclips are probably the best way forward, no holes in your car
I have a dashmount kit from www.dashmount.co.uk as the proclip from brodit doesn't seem to fit my car correctly.

I have the passive brodit holder for the TYTN II, but TP2 doesn't fit without scrating it.
seems to fit in my origional htc trinity carrier perfectly, only problem is i cant charge it lol so ill have to get a new one eventually
thank you for the tip!!
I have a Brodit Active holder for my old P3600 (Trinity) and it fits real nice...
After some modifications (I cut off the USB part, and super glued it back on at the correct place to fit my TP2) I now have a Brodit Active holder that I can use again!
No scratches what so ever!!
(saves me about €50 )
^Good Tips...Brodit has always been my favorate car holder for all my devices!
do you know when the TP2 model will be released?
thanks
asked brodit and they say later next week...
Brodit holders now available. Just got to wait for them to filter to your resellers now.
Active: http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=512021&sortiment=null
Passive: http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=511021&sortiment=null
As I have already said, looks more or less identical to the Kaiser mount with a central support.
A word of warning to people buying, I had 2 active Brodit mounts that killed 2 different Kaisers because the charger unit was dodgy.
In the end I got another replacement from Brodit but I was too cautious of them by then, so I hacked an official HTC car charger into it.
I am personally gonna get the passive holder and use my HTC charger as I'm not going to take the risk again.
The htc supplied trinity/m700 one fits a dream but needs the bottom cutting out a little as the plug socket is in a different location. Damn good sturdy mount as well.
not sure I'll be getting any until it is confirmed that the pins are aligned and the phone does charge when using GPS.
I had issues with the Brodit one for the Kaiser and when it never worked they blamed HTC

I ordered a passive mount this morning and a new proclip to see if they ship the right one this time!
I'd try and heed my advice about the active mounts. At least wait until some other poor guinea pig has tried one!
I asked HTC This:
Is there an option for the HTC Touch Pro2 with the HTC 3-in-1 connector bundle?
Or is this compatible:
Set A
- 513021 Active Holder, Tilt Swivel
- 945011 Adapter Cable
Set B
- 512021 Active Holder, Tilt Swivel
- 945011 Adapter Cable
In terms of connecting my HTC touch Pro2 to a charging unit (built in the car) and also using the AUX out of the device via the mini-USB.
I want to know if the 3-in-1 cable/connector is able to be “plugged” in into 513021 of 512021
They answered me this:
It will also come a 3-in-1 holder for this device. The item no will be:
519021 short cable
520021 long cable
I hope those will be ready within 2-3 weeks.
One thing that you need to keep in mind with the 3-in-1 cables in that if you plug it in, the external speaker gets disabled. therefore if you're planning on using the mount for satnav, you'll need to hook it up to an aux-in on your car speakers in order to get any sound!
Hi all.
I'm looking for a car holder for my TP2. Can anyone make a recommendation? I'm UK based and I'd rather not pay silly amounts on delivery other than that I'm open to all suggestions?
So far I've seen and like the Boxwave car holder. Only problem is they're a US company and they charge quite a bit for non-US delivery.
Thanks in advance
I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brodit-car-...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855076&sr=8-24
I combined it with my Richter holder (this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/HERBERT-RIC...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855152&sr=8-3 ) because I had a HTC Touch Pro before.
I have the CM929-S: Swivel Vent PDA Car Mount from Arkon that I got from eBay a while back for around $10. It works pretty well with the TP2, and I like it better than suction-cup mounts because it won't fall off. Although, I do like the idea of a unit-specific mount if I could find one.

Wait Spartan: The richter holder I posted is for TOUCH PRO 1 not Touch Pro 2! You can use the Richter "arm" (don't know the right word) and add the brodit holder.
if you are going to go Arkon, may as well go with the powered mount
http://www.arkon.com/poweredpdamount.php?selFeat=usb_mini
the speaker is fairly useless... the TP2 speaker is louder
does have 2 USB charge port though, 1 at 1.2a (fast charge!) and another at 600ma
a little thicker than the none power version but worth it
so you can charge 1 phone and another device... or a friends phone too
I combine it with a proclip vechile mount and its perfect!
I just got the box wave kit. The quality is good and you can fit the TP2 in landscape with keyboard out and portrait.
They dont give you a dash disk to mount on your dash but suction cup is huge should mount on any window. They also give you a HVAC vent hook as well.
I'd give it a 7/10.

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?

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...

Hi
Does anyone know if there is someone that makes a bike (handelbars) holder for the Blackstone?
edit
I did find some on with google search, but does anyone have any experience??
yesterday, i have ordered this:
http://www.dantotec.de/shop/Richter...HD-T8282-Blackstone-100-inkl-Halteschale.html
now i have to wait for delivery
Please post your experience when you have tried it.
bike holder
Hi, I am interessted in a solid Bike holder too and was looking for the whole day. I found this in ebay germany, the producer is Haicom, tomorrow I will order.
I want to use it only in landscape mode and for me it looks appropriate for this. The only thing is that I don't trust the connection between the HTC cradle and the Handlebar attachment, so perhaps I have to stick it with instant glue, but all the other holders I saw don't have such big retaining clips in the cradle like this one.
also interested
Guys
I'm very interested in this too, looking forward to hearing experiences from you. I need to retire my Ortleib pouch!
my experience so far
The cradle i ordered is a little bit bigger then the touch hd and the connection between handlebar attachment and the cradle is a little bit unsteady like i thought but no problem. I sticked felt pads on it and its very very solid now, also a good method to avoid scratches. I've made a little video that you can see how solid this is now. So I think this is a good one only after you stick those felt pads.
Sweet it looks pretty sturdy.. If you can get it to stay in one place on the handel bars then thats the one for me
handle bars
I've mounted the cradle on my bicycle, it doesn't move from its place.
There is a rubber layer at the attachment.
Today i have received my bike holder (http://www.dantotec.de/shop/Richter...HD-T8282-Blackstone-100-inkl-Halteschale.html)
it looks realy safe (not testet in action)
i have "shaked" the holder with my touch hd over my bed and it dont pull out (i hope you know what i mean ^^)
and the size is very good, not too small and not too big "like a second skin"
in the package you get also 3 rubber for more security...
i think i can recommend this bike holder
i wait for this (cause its not in stock): http://www.dantotec.de/product_sear...417fff&query=HRI01686&x=30&y=17&channel=001_0
this product is recommended from the manufactorer, it should guarantee more stability...
I have combined this:
http://www.amazon.de/Motorradhalterung-für-Lenkstange-inkl-Schwanenhals/dp/B000RGVNK8/ref=pd_cp_ce_2
(I do not have the space for the HD directly over my handle so I needed some distance...)
with that:
http://www.amazon.de/HR-Klemmbacken...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1274939042&sr=1-3
(Had this one already for my car.)
I did not buy them from amazon (I forgot where I got them), but they are original from HR.
Just an advice: The first time I used my device on the bike, I lost my stylus - it must have gotten loose due to some vibrations, and it was only on a paved bike path, not cross country-like vibrations...
So better remove your stylus or find some way to fix it.
I had the luck that it was on my way to work, and it waited for me to pick it up on my way back not far from my home...
The Whistler
Ebay is perfect for this stuff.

i have this one http://www.otterbox.com/pda-cases/1900-series/1900-series-pda-case/ is a cracking unit
jez
A cradle for a bike with exposed screen like that is asking for trouble. If you go over a bad road or bump etc it can become lose or if you are in a crash there is no protection. I found its safer to get one of them arm band phone protectors and strap it down. seems to work for me

The cradle i ordered is a little bit bigger then the touch hd and the connection between handlebar attachment and the cradle is a little bit unsteady like i thought but no problem. I sticked felt pads on it and its very very solid now, also a good method to avoid scratches. I've made a little video that you can see how solid this is now. So I think this is a good one only after you stick those felt pads.

I can only find the carholder for the T8282, not the bikeholder.
Seems to me that no one sells this bike holder in Netherlands. Here is an ebay seller in Germany, you can order there if you don't mind.

I bought a bikeholder at Saturn. They have several bikeholders from Hama and not expensive. Mine is even waterproof.

Thanks for the both of you.
I held off getting a car dock for my Captivate since i knew i was getting a new car (mounting would have been much different). now that things are settled with the SGS2, i finally got around to ordering my dock...
http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...d-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512255-18750.aspx
great options from ProClip USA, but since my car's cig lighter is behind my right arm (07 S2000) the only option i had was to get the hard wired one (http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...cord-for-fixed-installation-513255-18750.aspx). when i get this installed and wired up, i'll post pics. i'm going to love the set up, now i'll just need to buy a new BT (A2DP) enabled HU so i can eliminate all visible wires from my cabin...
pics to follow
this car dock is amazing... i just installed it and hard-wired it into my cigarette lighter for power, and it works perfectly. the phone fits in nice and snug, yet pulls out easily (but not too easily that it would ever just fly out on its own).
does the dock accept the phone with a case on .. or is it a pretty snug fit?
buy the adjustable one. have had mine for my last 3 smartphones.

what he said...
The adjustable one fits great with a thin skin on the GS2. I"m also on my third phone with the same cradle
If you have multiple vehicles, or phones also consider the proclip quick release system.
[I'm new so no links for me. go to proclipusa & search for "move clip"]
makes daily mix & match a 10 second operation.

Do you keep the phone on it's side like that? Do you have issues during a turn? The website mentions issues with cell/gps signals with the phone horizontal. Do you see that? Are the 'arms' that hold the phone made of metal or plastic?
Same questions to the guy above who said he had the adjustable version. I was thinking, I'd like to do a micro-usb charging/AUX analog audio output cable (instructions are on this forum). I'd like to keep my case though. And this looks like the perfect solution. I might have to fab something up to put the phone on my dash above the stereo (for optimum viewing/GPS angle). Any thoughts on that idea? Thanks!

no problems with GPS while the phone is is landscape mode. no issues while turning either as the phone fits very snugly in there. the sides that hold the phone in are thick plastic and have "channels" for where the phone slides in.
