US$90 is too expensive. Anyone know where I can purchase this cradle cheaper?

Yes. If you just go to their homepage and then click on the EVO you'll see that dock is specifically for that device. Hope that helps.
I would like to see when the official HTC dock is available at an actual store or reputable site (i.e. not $90 off ebay).

Tomorrow my friend. I already contacted Sprint, and they said they could put one for me on hold, picking it up first thing tomorrow morning and posting picks as soon as I can. If you want, add me to Twitter so you can see the pictures fast.

this doesn't support the type d HDMI connection like the Sprint doc will. but if you don't need that this would be a good alternative.

This isn't a car dock, its the HDMI Dock for charging and porting HDMI to your tv. And I'm sorry. A Sprint Official just called me to confirmed its getting out on the 18th.
Thanks for the info I'll go look for it today. I had the "official" HTC dock for my Touch Pro and it was a very nice piece.
The official HTC dock should be a pretty good deal cause it comes with a HDMI cable too, for only $40!
The official EVO HDMI dock wont be release til August per the Sprint Mgr at the store I just talked to.

I got the same story. Oh well.
june
the ebay link posted above shows an htc flyer that looks legit...the top left of the flyer says available in june, but it could be the person posting doctored up the flyer??
Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.
I don't get why the desk dock is taking so long to become available for the galaxy nexus. Everywhere I look it's still on pre-order. Here are the sites i'm looking at:
https://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock-225460/

https://www.gocellular.ca/?item=sm4026&track=googlebase&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=cpc
Does anyone know a place selling this?
no place is selling it, thats why your only finding it for preorder.
latest release date from negri has it at sometime in either the end of this month or february
Well, I ordered both docks (desk and car) from Bell last Friday and they're supposed to be in the store by tomorrow. They seemed to think that it was no problem ordering them for me because according to the system, some of the stores already got the desk dock.
Anyway, I'll check back tomorrow although I'm not very optimistic.
My theory is that they did not think very hard about the power button being inaccessible when the phone is in the dock, and they are redesigning it.
I know, it launches a dock app when in the dock, but having owned several phones with docks I can tell you that being able to press the power button is darned useful:
- The screen might keep me awake at night.
- I might be concerned about OLED burn in.
- The battery might charge quicker with the screen off.
The desk dock may not have a problem with the power button down. They COULD have a bump in the base and just pressing ANYWHERE on the top edge of the phone could depress the power button.
At least that is how I plan to build my desk dock!

Well there's not much they can do now, because it's almost like the issue goes back to the design of the phone itself, having the power and the 3pins on the same side.
Anyone tried this?

This is most likely the case. If so it was a GENIUS design decision.
Perhaps google is still working on updated desk and car dock applications and Samsung is waiting until those are finished to release them.
Also, the nexus one the car dock was released 3 months after the N1 launched. (April 6th)

No....there's no 3-pin connector. It's just a generic dock, nothing like what is being discussed here.

Just got off the phone with a lady at the Bell store in Oakville where I placed my order. She said they didn't arrive today, but was able to find out they would arrive on Wednesday. Now, I'm not sure if thats 100% fact or what she was told but I said I would call back Wednesday. She also said it was both docks (car/desk) that would arrive.
I'll post here then.

I personally won't order it on line (as I do NOT believe that they have it in stock -- they have been known to give wrong information in the past), but as soon as it is in the stores, I'd be happy to pick one up for you and ship it, assuming it is available here before the U.S.
P.S.: I just called a few stores, and no one has it yet.
Just because it's not in stores doesn't mean the online orders won't ship out. Maybe they have more inventory. Someone order this and find out! haha

TYping on mine now ! - Arrived about an hour ago. Not as good as the Transformer Prime keyboard is my first impression, but it does keep the tab at a nice angle. Need to find away to stop the soft keyboard popping up though, thats really annoying.
Mine arrived this morning. Not bad at all seen as though I am in Holland and I ordered it from the UK around 17:00 yesterday.
Oh, and it visited Brussels on its way to me.
Unfortunately it has been delivered with a less than attached space bar, so I need to arrange a replacement.

Another option is to download null keyboard from the market and select it as the software keyboard and you should be good to go.

I've been waiting for this, but it looks like its already sold out.
Where are you located, and what's that store's ETA for delivery? From what I can tell on their website, they're located in the UK. I'm hoping for a US supplier of the keyboard so I don't have to wait a month and pay 2x the keyboard price to have it shipped.

It might well be worth waiting for a keyboard from the US which will have a familiar layout, rather than having to deal with the different layout of Keys on a UK spec one - take it from someone who has to use Swiss-German at work and UK at home :-&

you can probably adjust the Settings>Language and input to appropriate language - I did this on my apple keyboard, I think the @ and " keys were mixed, fixed when I switched from Australia to USA input.
a blue-tooth keyboard is much better than a dock, specially when combine with OTG usb for a mouse, or charging, am i right?

Not if you enter any secure data. Bluetooth keyboards are banned at my employer because all of your keyboard input can be easily sniffed from a surprisingly long distance away. Plus, I don't want more batteries to worry about. The Samsung keyboard dock lets you charge while using the keyboard. I hope to hack it up a bit and embed a USB hub into it as well.
I just realized one thing I'll miss about my Transformer is having a physically connected keyboard that I can use while travelling by plane. From what I've read Bluetooth keyboards are a no-no for in flight usage. Has anyone used a USB connected mini-keyboard using the Samsung USB adapter? I also know Samsung will be coming out (from what I've read here) with a keyboard dock but it's not available yet. I thought I also read somewhere that the Tab 10.1 dock will work with the Note 10.1.
Has anyone had any luck or a good setup for using an in-flight keyboard setup for the Note 10.1?

Ok, I know everyone will probably gag on this but...
As I was reading this thread, I went upstairs and obsconded (kids dont use it, WTH) the WII Usb KB and connected it. Works fantastic!
If you have one laying around... it may solve your want.
I picked up the official Samsung keyboard dock last week, it works nicely for that purpose!
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/...es/EKD-K14AWEGSTD?subsubtype=other-multimedia
Unfortunately, it's expensive and not available in most stores yet. Picked it up from the Samsung store in Sydney CBD.
Just so you know, Australia and USA both use the US keyboard layout (as opposed to the UK, which uses the UK layout), so maybe that could help you guys in the states source one of these? You won't have a messed up layout like you would ordering from the UK. Then again, I don't know any Australian place offering these for shipping internationally so that could be moot.

Very frustrating to not have these available for purchase in the US.
Is it possible to close it? Like the transformer or a regular laptop? Dont feel like not being able to close it..
An extra battery would be nice though incase of very long flights or train/car rides..
It doesn't hinge so you can't "fold" it closed like a regular laptop. Instead you just pull it out of the dock.
I know it has been discussed but I wanted to share my work. Not beautiful but it works. This is the dock for the Tab 10.1 modified for use with my Note 10.1
