I don't know what I want but I got the dock yesterday and I really have zero use for the thing. I don't really like docks. Don't know why I bought it but it was the only thing I could but that would work with my extended battery.
Anyone have anything good?
I'll trade you for a beat up PPC-6700.

Still seeing what's there. Come on people. It is the HDMI Dock with the cable.

I am wondering if anyone knows where to buy authentic samsung accessories. I have gotten 3 batteries off ebay and they did not live up o expectations and measured only 1000 - 1200 mAh.
To be safe this time, I'd like to purchase the official accessory with the weird dock / stand thing. Does anyone know which other online store might have it for cheap? I have checked on Amazon, but the only stores that list it are 3rd party ones such as accessory one, and they have pretty bad reviews.
FYI, pics of the battery I got off ebay and why they suck. First the "Official" G7 batteries all had the same serial (go figure). Then 2 of them were wrapped around another black wrapper. 2 of them had a black plastic spacer to fill in space where the battery should. 1 even have cardboard cutouts to fill in more space.
Oh man, what a ripoff. I have 2 non official batteries and Im actually more impressed with those than my real battery. Holds a much longer charge. Sorry about your bad luck.
Go to samsung.com and buy the battery that comes with external charger. $50 is so worth it, i might buy that instead of 3000mah which is not guaranteed safe to our phones.

I didn't said that, i said "not guaranteed safe". So it may have a chance that it may damage our phone because of overheating or something else. But so far no one has experienced it, but still i won't take the chance.

it fluctuates between 10 and 15 bucks
...wasnt that hard to find...i dont know about the charger though
i got this
http://www.amazon.com/Laza-Battery-..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1298656716&sr=1-1
it works perfectly and i never use a cable to charge my phone...i just switch out batteries...the batteries seem to hold an equal charge to the OEM one...and they are stylish
Just wondering about the OEM batteries listed. I was asking if any particular reseller is reputable? Since they aren't sold directly by Amazon.
Are the Laza batteries good? The charger looks a lot like the Chinese ebay ones, so I was a bit suspicious.

Mobilecityonline has the Samsung charger/stand and spare battery for $29.99 - quite a deal. I have one of these kits and I am very happy with it.

Also, for those looking for horizontal docks, here's another option.
Quick Look
Link to Buy
Worth noting - If you get this one, notice that it needs miniUSB so the cable that came with your INC2 will not work.
I've been interested in getting a dock. However, I have no confidence in the current offerings as I don't know anything about them and I don't want to just throw away $30 (yeah, I realize it's under $30, but there's shipping charges).
If someone is willing to actually try these out and give recommendations, I'd definitely be interested in going forward with one of these. Until then, I'm waiting for HTC to drop theirs, if they do it.
Edit: I read some info about the Kidigi cradle and it apparently blocks the audio port. This is a deal breaker for me. The other cradle looks to have that side of the cradle lowered so that one probably does not.

I just ordered this from the T-Mobile website. I had the same thing with the vibrant and even with this bigger battery I need a second to get through a full day. I'm terrible on battery life on every phone though so it may not be a necessity for most. On my Sensation I was able to get two Anker 1900mah batteries and charging station for $20 on ebay but I can't wait for those for this phone. Hope this helps others.

It is also a dock for your phone so win win...
It would be real cool if while phone was on dock it charged it too! OP could you let us know if it does. Thanks!
i'm also looking forward to order this set as well
i'll definitely need at least 2 more spare batteries and charging dock
If it's the same as the samsung vibrant which I believe it is then no it does not charge your phone. You'll have to have your phone plugged in separately or just swap fully charged batteries.

Ya figured as much... I could do fine with just the two bats. but little worried about how much abuse the back cover can take, the way it clips in is fine but after daily or twice daily seems like it might wear out mighty fast since its so little material already!
There's also this dock, but doesn't include battery charger: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D1F4BEGSTA

Yeah I like that dock but I don't mind paying $50 for a battery and sort of a dock, but cant pay $50 for just a dock. I can play my videos through my hdmi or wifi so no use for the stand alone dock.
I really like the official Samsung dock. Can't justify $50 for it though.
MediaDock does not allow data connection
Heads up on the desktop media dock. I picked it up thinking it would allow a charging/ubuntu connection. Nope. Charge only.
Ordered the charger w/spare battery. I had one of these for my Vibrant and am already missing the spare battery... Exchange push email + the other items I run on the phone make a evening battery swap inevitable...
Just ordered one. A spare battery will be great on this phone, not to mention 2. I could go 2 days without a charger.
Deebo took your bike too?
Just got mine today. Pretty good quality and is what you'd expect from Samsung. The part that holds the phone is decent but far from a dock. Id be worried somebody could bump the table and knock it over.
All in all, its a external charger and does what its designed to do - charge batteries. I can cycle through my 3 batteries evenly now and not have to worry about juice from here on out.
Deebo took your bike too?
Well my USB port is broke and I have no insurance plus i have no clue how to soder.unless someone in the Dothan Al area. Knows how and willing to help me out.
But what I am asking is does any know were i can get a external wall charger to charge my battery without being on the phone? I have my regular battery but I also got a 3500 mah. Battery so I really appericiate it if someone could tell me were to get one.

Short and sweet, my usb port is sucking now and theres a dead spot, I have to prop it against something to charge, while sprint may give me another devices, I'm really lazy, and I'd rather just try to get an external battery charger, besides waiting for a new phone and such. I have 2 batteries anyway . Many 3rd party chargers have bad reviews, and I may just get the 20$ OEM samsung one on Amazon but I'd like some feedback first. Thank You!

Got some cheap one off of EBAY that was packaged with 2 of those super crap Samsung batteries for $20. Charger works great, batteries not so much...maybe 1000 mAh really.

@kennyglass, seeing that my epic no longer wants to take the charge despite the LED being red, I might just do that in the meantime and hope it works

yiboyuan is the name on them
I picked up a package deal of a couple of extra extended batteries, an extended back to accommodate the larger battery, and a non-name brand wall charger for about $12 on Ebay earlier this year. The seller was in Brooklyn, so no long wait from Asia.
The charger is nothing special but it works fine. You can place the battery in the unit and plug it directly in a wall, or plug in a usb cable and charge up your phone that way. Nice light signals when the battery is fully charged.
Look for the guy, his ebay name is accmonster. Several folks around here had good deals with him.
I can vouch that he ships quickly and has good prices. The extended battery is not quite what the ad says (it's more potent, but not 3500). Shop around his online store and see if he has a deal that fits your interests. Good luck.

Your welcome. I got one of mine quick with the hyperion 1800's I ordered off amazon. I don't like the extended because of the bulk and I think some rom's don't like it but that is another story.
I have 6 of these. they work.

I have the same one also, threw the batteries out after they both died around 6 months after I bought them lol. But the charger works perfectly EXCEPT there is something definitely wrong with the USB port on it. When I plug the phone in to charge through the port on the charger, it for some reason disables touch input to the screen. No idea why, must be a strange defect or something. Happens with all micro USB cables.
