I would check out Juphro's battery door thread. For $20 you can get a custom image laser etched into you battery door. They turn out hella sweet.
Hows the sound on the shures ?
Lack of EQ bugs the hell out of me.

extended battery is just a personal preference.. i prefer have a secondary battery =) extended battery just adds too much bulk for my taste...

I love using my hd to watch movies hooked up to aux input in my car,
I got one of these of ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CAR-CHARG....c0.m14&_trkparms=65:1|66:2|39:1|293:1|294:50
its already snapped!
I want something that allows you switch between horizontal/vertical and tilt funtion for tomtom and core player
I may try velcro stickers or maybe an air vent holder
any other ideas?
I have had 2 of these..they are absolutely rubbish, the insertion clip snapped both times. I have also tried another holder (universal one) and that turned out to rubbish too, I threw it away. Another time the suction disc came away from the arm. I have also tried my own custom made holder - I took a leather phone case and screwed it into the back of the arm attachment, that worked much better than the worthless gadgets of ebay. So save your money and forget buying from ebay, it maybe worth spending a bit more for a better quality item. And just yesterday I found my my xda orbit holder provided by O2 so using that for now which fits the Touch HD very well.
My side I buy that for my car Car Windshield Swivel Mount Dock for HTC Touch HD. At 5.60$ nobody can make better!
Work like a charm!

I had a universal jobby off ebay, that was a bit rubbish since where it clamped onto the phone it obscured the volume control buttons.
Ordered one of the HD specific designed ones and will see how that goes.

Brodit holder + charger
I have recently installed a holder and charger for my Touch HD and can highly recommend it!!
http://www.brodit.com/
The installation was somewhat easy, had to open the dashboard to connect it to power behind the stereo.
Pro Clip makes some amazing solutions. I have used them for years on numerous devices.

Goes pretty fast. Haven't done any comparison, but I can't complain. I normally drive 45 minutes to work and twice a day charging is fine for me.

I like the look of the solid mount to the screen, but the holder looks a bit busy.
How have you found it?
Paul.
I got my own here www.mobilefun.co.uk
In this page you can find just about everything you need for your touch hd or any other phone... Bad thing deliveries are done only within the EU countries
The link for the holder i personally purchased and i'm 100% satisfied is here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-touch-hd-car-holder-p19992.htm
If you are looking for something a lot cheaper that goes with a car charger in the pack you can look here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/drivesafe-car-pack-for-the-htc-touch-hd-p20932.htm (only difference with the first one is a little more stiff on adjusting method) but its still perfect and safe & both are really easy to adjust horizontally and vertically the phone & they are both built for windshields which means you can video type your driving
I suggest it without second thoughts!

Got the same one. Pricey but oh so worth it. I love it,and would def recommend it. I've tried the suction ones, and they for some reason keep falling off the windscreen, even with cleaning the surface/drying it etc.
The brodit just clips into your dash, and fit your touch hd perfect. They make mounts for every car.
I love it!!!
And it charges at a normal rate, just like a standard wall charger.
I have this one and it's excellent..
Brodit holder question
I have a cheap universal effort I bought from some motorway services - Im looking for a better solution - im using airvent attachment - its a three pronged affair which clips over one of the vent "stays". Its wobbly as hell - which is fine most of the time, except when you are attaching the charging cable. Does the Brodit attach to the airvents ? if so does it attach solidly ? in a better way than my three pronged clip ??
Depending on your car and which mount you want.
For my Xantia, using the vent beside the steering wheel the mounting plate fits in around the vent, between the vent unit and the dashboard body, rather than the cheapo ones that clip feebly to the vent.
At the moment I'm using two of the suction cup ones that people have had problems with.
Superglue is your friend (no, do not superglue it to the windscreen no matter how temping that sounds!).
The internal flange which holds the silicon cup to the base of the arm breaks up causing it to regularly fall off teh windscreen, some good superglue carefully dripped in fixes this. The other problem I've had is the ends breaking where the metal snake fits in, again superglue (pull back the concertina cover) in each end sorts this.
Ok these are things that should not go wong in a good product, but when they're available for a couple of quid shipped from China, it's to be expected, and thankfully easily rectified.
Has anyone got the details of a UK supplier of Brodit?
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.

the Richter holder looks perfect!
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.

TP2 now functions as an easily accessible hands-free phone, mp3 player, and gps system. Man, I love this thing
I ordered this one

There were two on the site, and this one LOOKED less sturdy which was my only concern. Having said that, it turned up today and whilst I have not put it in the car yet, I am well pleased.
Much sturdier in reali life than the pictures suggest. Good selectioon of attachments etc. Way better than the ebay one I had for my Touch pro.
I was just about to ask the same question. Don't you just wish there was a genuine HTC one like the sexy HD2 mount...

I've ordered it. I'll let you know in a few weeks
Any updated?

True!!
Both of those are a custom fit for the G1, but notice the design of them. You can't use the car charger while the phone is in the mount. The 'clip' is covering the charger port.
This one is designed to allow you to charge the G1 while it is in the mount:

I don't own one 'yet' because the site says it will be available around 12/30. Looking at the pic, it doesn't seem to interfere with the operation of the phone... meaning you can still slide it open as well as charge it.
I've decided to make a 'temporary' dock for my G1 until the one above is available. I used the back portion of a clear cover that I had laying around. I figured I would put it to some use since I had it!
Here are a few pics:
I got this one to use in my car and love it! Charger fits in and it can be rotated in any direction. Plus you can move it from car to car without messy window rings. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UGMTKC/ref=oss_T15_product

That was a great idea. I got the cheap one off ebay and the cover does block the charge port. I am going to do a little dremel tooling on it to see if I can make it better. If not I will buy a couple of the cheap cases off ebay and try your mod.
The Ebay one also completely blocks the speaker. I will cut a hole for that too.

You can never go wrong with a dremel tool!! I didn't know that those ebay holders cover up the speaker too. It kinda makes the phone useless while its in there. I got the idea for the one I made off the proclip website. Rather than spending $30 bucks for theirs, I just made my own! I popped the trim off from around the heater/radio and used 3M double sided tape to secure the metal bracket that I bent to shape. Then used another piece of 3M to secure the back portion of the clear cover to the bracket. Of course, I put the 'Dual' sticker on there just for kicks!!!
I got myself a ProClip G1 mount.
http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...h-cable-with-3-in-1-adapter-849868-17354.aspx
It is a little pricey but the build quality is great and has a swivel mount. And yes you can open the screen and access the keyboard while mounted. Only downside (besides the price) is that you have to remove the rubber dust cover from the mini-USB charging port on the G1/Dream. I was kind of ticked off when I found this out after ordering it but I have been without it for quite a while now and haven't had any problems. I usually carry this G1 in my pocket and sometimes on my holster (when my work G1 isn't on me).

So I didn't see anyone comment on this yet. But I went ahead and bought this due to the decent price and what appeared to be the ability to open it while mounted.
So the answer is definitely "yes" to everything I wanted from it.
Yes, it does allow you to open the screen while mounted.
Yes, the clip does hold the phone very well and it is pretty easy to put and remove the phone with one hand.
Yes, you can plug in a charger while mounted and you don't have to remove the little charger door to use it.
Yes, there is a hole in the back so the speaker/camera is exposed so I guess you could record video, or take pictures while driving if that is something you wanted to do. Also, the microphone on the bottom is not blocked in case you want to just use speakerphone while mounted.
Yes, it feels very solid and well made. It says it "Made in Germany" on all of the parts which makes me feel good. "The German's make good stuff!"
Yes, The body clip itself does come off the arm so you could in theory use this for a different phone assuming you can get just the body clip online.
No, you cannot use this with anything other then a regular sized battery/door. (hopefully this was obvious)
Overall, for $20-$25 (depending on shipping), this is an awesome mount for your G1. I haven't actually tried mounting it on my window yet but the big suction cup (~3 inches wide) with the pull lever thing look like they will work great.

I order this one and finally got it.
It doesn't seem to fit in the way the picture is. The picture shows the "big" tab at the bottom. The problem with this is that it covers the hole for the charger. Also for me it doesn't quite fit so the top tab doesn't clip on to anything and doesn't hold the phone.
If I put it in upside down then the small tab doesn't cover the hole for the charger and it seems to fit nice an snug. But when it is in upside down you can no longer slide it open as the bigger tab is clipped onto the front. That is no big deal for me any ways as I don't plan on opening it while it is in the holder in the car.
the perfect mount/ who needs a navigation system
I also went to g1depo.com and got the windshield mount, it arrived four days early and yes to all the major questions. Opening capability, charger connection, speakerphone/camera hole, and it is also sturdy and well made "German" to be exact. and only 25.00 with shipping. Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats nice and everything, wonderful price...but uuhh...its intended purpose are for navigation devices, although it may have no problem holding, I don't think it would allow all of the g1 usage in dock such as rotating landscape/portrait, opening/closing keyboard, charging with dual 3.5 headset jack/usb extention.
Are there any good carmounts that fit a g1 with the extended battery back cover?
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...

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.

looks like this can be it. but, can any cradle be used if the phone is in "soft silicon gel case cover" ?

I think that it does support audio out. See this: http://www.mtpdata.dk/htc/htc-hero/cradle-dockingstation-til-htc-hero-med-pladsslot.html the website is danish but look at the pictures.
Looks nice, I sure wish Sprint would have left the CDMA Hero alone.
i'm using this one

Yeah it has audio out + room for an extra battery
From the site :
- Docking Station / Cradle for HTC Hero
(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.
Besides that, this dock also separate Audio-Out port!

hello everybody
So due to the size, I couldnt find any good phone holder for this phone. Any recommendations would be appreciated
I just use a magnetic one and throw the magnet on the case I use, works a treat, easy on and easy off.

I'm using this one. It works great, never falls off the window and it can even hold a phone larger than the 20 X. It's the best one I've had so far.

I have a CD player that I do not use and I picked this up off of amazon. It fits my smaller iphone and my larger Mate 20x. I switch phones a lot and keep 2 activated so I like having something adjustable.CD Slot Mount, Car Phone Holder
I ordered this vent mount and it works great with room to spare. There is an easy release button as well.
