Hi, I have recently purchased a TyTN and know about to purchase some accessories but I need some help.
Here is what I want:
- BT headset- Does anyone have a good recomendation of one to get there seems like so many choices?
- Case (silicon): are these worth it?
- Craddle: I assume the ones on eBay are Okay the HTC one seems a bit over priced, anybody have an opinions?
- GPS: I have seen the cheap units on eBay, do these work and are they worth? or are there better solutions?
- Battery: any recomendation on which vendor to buy a spare batterz from?
- Sreen Protector: I think I will get the ultra clear, because I still want a crystal clear screen.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Mike
I use a Vaja case so don't have any experience with silicon.
I use a PPCTechs AG Write shield screen protector - I think they are the best. Bought from Expansys.
I have the official HTC cradle. It is expensive but well built and has a spare battery charging slot.
I got a spare standard battery.
I bought those from MobileFun.
I tried the iClip S35 bluetooth headphones but had too many problems with stuttering playback. I'm now waiting for a Motorola Sound Pilot to arrive - again from MobileFun.
I use a TomTom GPS receiver - works really well.
Hope this helps.
Has anyone seen a cradle for the TD2 yet? I've got a Brodit mount in my car with the cradle for the Kaiser, but I'm after a new one now.
Received this from Brodit when I asked about a D2 mount:
"Hi!
For the moment we can’t say any clear date but please check the web within a couple of weeks.
Best Regards"

Just Pre-Ordered Mine
Hi
Just ordered mine from DSL.

Can't wait till it lands.
Looking at the picture on the site, it's not obvious exactly what part of the dashboard it attaches to and how?

Brodit holders come in two parts, a custom bit that holds the phone which is unique for each phone, and the proclip bit designed for your car. Where exactly on the dash it fits depends on which which car you have and which proclip you buy for your car. You're best off calling to find out, although most of them seem to have an option to fit over the central air vents.
Hi,
Any update??
I have preordered from mobilefun but still nothing.
Hi,
Got my cradle today from mobilefun. Just need a reliable navigation software.
Ordered mine from mobilefun yesterday, came this morning, fits great

What one did you get?, and did you get a in car charger with it?
I'm looking for one that attaches to the dash/air ventthat will also support a chrger.
Was looking at the Brodit one, and although they do look quite nice, £50+ for the holder and clip is a little steep in my mind.
I got the passive one, I already have a HTC car charger (with a pretty blue light). I only got the phone part as I already had the vent mount for my car from my previous phone. Thats the benefit really - you only need to change the phone bit. The Brodit mounts are a bit expensive but the quality is excellent and the phone fits really well

Cheers - one last question - I see the tilt and swivel, but to the rotate though 90°, so the phone can be viewed horitontally (i.e. when using it as a Sat Nav)?
Yes the mount is in two parts, the bit that attached to the car and the bit that the phone goes in. The connection between the two is a swivel joint
I've just ordered one HTC Touch Diamond2 / T5353 Car Upgrade Kit - CU S240 from here, better says - preordered.

I have this item ordered from mobilefun.co.uk, they say 2 - 3 days and it'll be in stock, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.
This is the same type of car kit I used for my Diamond 1, and that one worked very well, so I don't mind waiting for this one.
Oh, expansys says they won't have this car kit in stock until June 23rd.. so, I'm prepared to be waiting anything up until then!
still not avaible CU S240...

I have just bought the proclip and passive holder from dsl, then I bought a car charger from ebay, I will post what they are like as soon as they arrive, and if I'm clever enough to fit them in my car.

The cradle arrived today, it turned out that I actually ordered the wrong proclip, I intended to buy the one that bind to the right A/C vent of my (RHD) Corsa, but instead I ordered one that binds onto the bottom left of the dashboard. As it was though, I actually think the ordering error turned out for the better, the postion of the phone was still very readable, easily reachable, and it means that when I plug in the phone charger I won't see a wire dangling all the way across my dashboard, which would be unsightly as well as inconveineant. I would recommend this position of proclip for everyone, I know it seems strange that you need to look down at the phone, but when I took it out for a spin today it worked great.
Unsuprisingly, the cradle itself was fantastic way worth the extra money I paid for, the phone actually slips into position, I was sceptical at first about perfect fits, but the fit really was impeccable.
The fitting process was simple and straightforward (if I can do it anyone can) but requires a bit of brute force, but in my opinion that just came to show how sturdy the kit is. You know it's not going to go anywhere.
I am very interested in purchasing the S743 but I have a few questions - since I have not had the pleasure of holding one in my hand can you tell me if the US Band S743 has the glossy battery back finish (Like the Fuze - which I dislike) or a more non-slip non-fingerprint magnet type finish. Thanks for any assistance. Please feel free to offer any other advice about the device - those of you who have had the opportunity of working/playing with one.
I haven't held one either but I believe the back is rubberized.
Here is a pretty good review
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=1126
The hardware tour is near the bottom of the first page.
Thanks that answered my question - it does have a rubberized back.
Mine arrived yesterday. Completely rubberized.
I switch from the HTC Fuze to HTC S743
I spent a lot of time customizing my Fuze removing the ATT Bloatware, purchasing extra batteries and belt holsters - was one of the better ATT phones - but I really love this little S743 - the menu's are quicker good display - keyboard is a little worst than the Fuze (but that is not saying much as the Fuze keyboard is not that great either).
I love front keyboard for dialing and the sound quality is great.
Now my only problem is finding some one interested in purchasing my Fuze with all the accessories I purchased.
I'm with you. I much prefer the S743 over the Fuze. I had mine for a short time and I just can't stand WinMoPro and/or touchscreens.

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....
Rich
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.
I went to BB to see what accessories they had.
Can you say "Zero"?
Really.. Not one single item relating to the X10.
They should call it iBestiBuy. It's "i" whatever from wall to wall.
Any other sites I should check out ?
I am concerned about getting a skin as some are loose fitting and I'd like to see them in person.
I live in Michigan, USA.
Try Expansys or Amazon.
ebay is also a good place to look. I get my stuff from there.

Maybe Google?
Seriously - there is no universal place with best selection and prices both. I used to buy accessories at buy.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, some other virtually noname online sellers I found by Google search. Don't like online? No problem - you can try this model in some brick-and-mortar store with crazy prices. And buy it online. Anyway everything is "Made in China". The only problem - returning. That really sucks. But for now I was lucky. Look - once I bought a case for SE k790 in ebay store of one HK seller and it didn't fit. I wrote, since the description claimed this model for k790/800 and they answered that they'll send me another one for free - anything I like. I checked measurement of the phone and found a model that should fit. It was around 1/2 more expensive, but they sent it without any returns. I was impressed and always check them first. But now look like they are out of business - no website, no ebay store and a lot of negative feedbacks. So it is a little risky, but after some research it worth.
I know how you feel. Especially since they have the exclusive white x10 then it only makes sense that they carry x10 accessories. But of course, Sony Ericsson really isn't that well known over here, so what you'd find would be for Apple and...probably that's it. Joking aside, yeah, its a bummer. have you tried amazon though?

Apple's case perfectly fits my X10. I bought it around a year before X10 photos were leaked over the web. I love Apple - they are able to predict many new tends.
I mean belt's case or pouch or whatever marketing freaks name it, not skin.
By the way, try to find a difference (except price and pressed brandname LUXMO inside or outside) between some in one store:
$0.60 + $2.98 shipping - Apple Iphone 4gb 8gb 16gb 32gb
$0.33 + $2.98 shipping - just iPhone
$0.57 + $2.98 shipping - Verzion Motorola Droid A855
$1.69 + $2.98 shipping - Samsung BlackJack i607 or BlackJack 2 i617
$1.12 + $2.98 shipping - Motorola q9m Q9c Q Q9h
$2.80 + $2.98 shipping - Apple iPhone 1st & 2nd Generation including 2g 3g (4gb/8gb/16gb/32gb) (AT&T -ATT)
I like their notes about the internal memory most of all - it is really universal case from 4Gb up to 32Gb!!! Wanna case for another model - wait a minute - our representative put the sticker... errr... sorry - find a case specifically for your model. This is how online works.
I think you'll find exactly this model in regular store for from $10 up to $25. And try how it feels.
Up here in Canada the only place I'm ever able to find cases fir my x10 are at flea markets and sometimes at cellphone kiosks in the malls here.

As of this month I have purchased the following accessories.
2 car chargers from Radio Shack, the cheaper ones.
1 windshield holder from ebay seller in Hong Kong. It has a short bent arm. Not good with very steep slopes. Phone needs to be plugged in when used as GPS so limited positions with car charger. Blocks view in smaller cars. I would rather have the one with the flexible arm instead for more possibilities.
2 Belkin usb to micro retractable cords. Microcenter
1 soft silicone case totally covers the sides of phone save camera and speakers and projects out 1/8th inch from screen like bumper. It's nice but the phone could be any phone. EBAY
1 hard rubber snap-on case with cutouts for buttons, camera and speakers. Finish on mold edges is not good. EBAY
