Hi has anyone used this site
m-99.co.uk
they have a HTC car charger listed, was wondering how reliable they are before buying?
any recommendations?
I bought one from Expansys and it works just great, it has Fuse connector so the device is more safe from power inturruption. Very useful ti use with GPS on Vista side while in the car. or to watch movies while on a long trip.

Hi All,
Just thought I'd mention a cool cradle I bought from a really nice ebayer ...
I got it this morning (next day delivery!) and the inclusive price delivered was £14.45
It also comes with a UK charging adapter so you don't have to rely on the USB power.
Also I have found that the cadle now works through my USB non powered Hub!!!!! even without the power adapter :shock:
So very pleased with this vital piece of kit that is essential when using for business and always updating diary/tasks etc.
Here is a link to his shop rather than the item incase the link dies...

Hi
The DS970 is a great stereo headset (with the adp fix). Works with VC1.6 too (with the VC1.6 hack)
I can't track down a car charger anywhere. Not even any from China or Hong Kong on ebay!
Has anyone found one for sale anywhere in the world?
Any carcharger for a Sonyericsson phone with the new connector should work.
Yes, using the DS970 on the 8525. Wish I could find one too. If I do, I'll let you know.
Skipping is almost gone with A2DPfix, now if I could find a way to make them sound as good as the 970 with a high end Sony Walkman phone....
I heard back from Sony on what is needed:
"Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Online Support.
The car charger you need for this is the same one that our phones take which is a cst-60 and it is available on http://sonyericsson.com or by phone at 1-866-837-7290
As part of Sony Ericsson's commitment to excellent customer service, we offer a wide variety of mobile products to suit your lifestyle. If you require more information, or have any other questions, please visit our website at http://www.sonyericsson.com or call us at 1-866-766-9374."
I will be hunting for one today! I did get 5 hours of listening to audio yesterday - the battery life seems to be improving.
but the connector showing on their site for the CST-60 looks different to the connector on the mains charger I have for the DS970? Mine is a CST-61 or maybe a CST-81
I found a charger that works at Fred Meyers (part of the Kroger family) for $14.99. Brand is ComPro model info: PC-ERIK750-QC "Compatible with K750/J300a W600/W800 Z520a. It looked right, and I plugged it on and the headset started charging up like it should. CompUSA and Staples didn't even carry a single Sony car charger.
It does like different than the OEM wall charger, but you just use one prong which lines up the 2 connectors on the headset just fine.
I see what you mean on the Sony site, I can't even find a CST-60...I see a CLA-60. My nephew has the Walkman 950i, and his charger works for his DS970 too. The CLA-60 is listed as compatible with his phone.

It's for a phone and the connector looks different but should work with the headset anyhow. I used a friends charger from a Sonyericsson K610 phone and it worked just fine.
OK, good info. Thanks
Hi,
I own a car charger for my AT&T 8525, but on long trips my GPS bluetooth receiver is always running out of power (I just have one power-out in my car!)
I found an old mini USB Y-Adapter from Motorola in my collection of cables. Can I use this adapter to charge my 8525 and my bluetooth receiver at the same time? I would like to get confirmation before I try it, because I don't want to damage my device (maybe the wires are different because the adapter is from Motorola?!).
Hope one of the experts here can help me
Thanks in advance!
I personally would buy fom local electrical/car store a dual power adaptor that plugs into the power outlet. Bought one a while back for $15aud. This does mean you require another power adaptor for your GPS but I find they generally supply that with the reciever... Cheers...
Im Looking for a nice Cradle for the Rhodium, ideally with a second battery charger in it (not vital as ive not got a 2nd battery yet)
Anyone spied any?
They've started cropping up on eBay, spotted 2 this morning.
If anyone actually gets a hold or hears of a proper battery cradle charger I'll be happy. With having the kaiser for 2 years I grew tired of having to charge my phone twice a day to meet my gadgetting needs... I really do love to play around with those phones hah..
[offtopic] Also bummer they didn't supply the phones with the VGA cable.. [/offtopic]

That looks like it will put a fair bit of strain on the extusb port. There doesn't seem to be anything else supporting the phone
I seem to buy a cradle for every phone I get, none of which are perfect (the stand that is, not the phone, although . . )
This time I am going low tech and going for something like the one my daughter got with her Nokia 5800 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Nokia...66:2|39:1|72:1683|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
Although I might need a bigger one due to the weight of the TP2 ( I will try hers when my phone turns up)
i build my own craddle with the HTC G300 Touch Diamond Cradle & adapter
it has no extras, it`s not the best, but it works...
if HTC build a matching adapter i will buy it....
see the pics
cope with a rasp ground,
a piece of soft plastic stuck on it so that it is softer surface....

Can I ask how easy it is to drop the device into the cradle? I bought a Pro2 cradle from an ebay source, and it can be a bit fiddly to line up the connector, I'm often jiggling it around for a while to line it up; whereas the Brando cradle for the HD is very easy to use, it just drops straight in. I'm loathe to buy a second cradle, but this one is just annoying me.
hi!
the brando is easy to line up the connector, of course first you must learn the position...
it's cute! I own the deluxe for a second battery, but the normal one is enough if you don't plan a second battery!
I have to agree with @deiota mine came today and I am very happy with it.
Pics of both types of chargers
I purchased both types of chargers. One for the office & one for home.
I have had them for almost a month now. Please excuse all the dust & fingerprints
Ill post the deluxe model first.
Pics of the plain charger.
I have attached pics of the plain charger.
The plain charger I purchased for usd$14.99 and the deluxe was usd$24.99. I purchased both from ebay. I received them in about a week after placing my order. Both came with free shipping.
So the total was usd$39.98 for both units.
Connections:
Deluxe model - EXTUSB docking port / MINIUSB charging port / EXTUSB sync & audio port / 3.5mm Audio Port
Plain Model - MINIUSB docking port / MINIUSB charging port / MINIUSB Sync port
Both unit came with a US style (2-prong) AC Adaptor with the following specs:
Input = 100-240vac 50/60Hz
Output = 5v 1.5A (MINIUSB)
Both models works great. I actually prefer the plain model since the HTC TP2 sits "deeper" in the docking port which seems more secure and I still have easy access to the front buttons of the phone. I usually do not listen to music when charging the phone. I have placed these docking cradles in front of my computers at home & office so, if i had to listen to music, i use my computer.
Like the title says, if anyone is selling theirs or knows a good price for it, let me know!
Walk into a Verizon Store. I just purchased the mobile cradles for my RZnd and my wifes TB for a whomping $40. I know if you purchase three accessories, you get a discount. The vehicle Cradle for the RZnd is actually quite nice. The power attaches to the cradle and a static connector is built into that. Just doc the phone and plug in the headphone jack and your off. I KNOW this is not a desk dock but it can be used as one. The desk dock was NOT that expensive.. I think $20...
I went in the store and the the $50 dollar deck for 20. The warehouse mispriced the deck @ $30 + a $10 dollar discount I got 8). I'm not too sure if they corrected the prices, so it's worth a shot.
For anyone in the same boat as me, check this out:

What exactly do docks do besides be another charger?
I'm living on a yellow submarine
I have had two of the car docks now and both did not work properly causing a drain instead of the charge on my phone. For example, when playing Pandora with the screen always on and set to 4g, the battery dropped by 10 - 15 % in 30 mins of use. When I plugged it directly to the car charger under the same conditions I got a positive charge going from 60% to 100% in 30 Mins. Same results on 3g. Either the store got a bad batch or something is wrong with my phone. Taking both back tomorrow.
Desktop Dock a must have accessory
Got mine at the Verizon Store when I picked up my Rezound on opening day (Nov. 14th). Glad I did as it now appears to be a scarce item to find. Some helpful hints should you find one, you can change the 3 default apps in "dock mode" by accessing the link through the "Clock" app. You cannot remove or change the default music app in dock mode. It is a must have accessory if you have a Rezound, and is designed to work with standard or extended battery attached. Good luck in your hunt!
Does it still fit with a tpu or silicone case on it? Also anyone tried using this as a car dock with a usb connection to the car stereo? My car stereo has a usb hookup and I would like to use that for charging and music(less wires) but my stereo seems to have a problem with docks between it and the device, my ipod wont work with its standard dock but works fine with just the wire.
In regards to using the desktop dock with a case on the phone, I would have to say probably not. The phone sits pretty snuggly in the dock, and if there was a case on it, it would possibly not fit correctly/deep enough in the dock tray to properly seat the power connection. As for using the desktop dock in a car, I guess it would be possible with a usb/car charger connection and some velcro to mount it. However, since the phone sits in the dock at an angle, it would depend on your dashboard layout to obtain the best viewing angle while driving/in sunlight. If you manage it, post some pics!
Great the car dock drains the battery and the desk dock would require me removing my case every time. Awesome. Nothing ever just works, except the phone, the phone is awesome.
I'm feeling like the accessories are lacking because this is a verizon exclusive.
HTC need to step the accessories game up like motorola has. We need docks with hdmi output. We need powered car docks. We should have easy options to dock this thing next to a tv and use it like a netbook with a bluetooth keyboard without a tangle mess of adapters.
