the only thing is i think is a huge fail is that you have to plug in the USB cable by yourself...

The designer was soo dumb.
Imagine how cool could a landscape dock look like, it could work as a nght clock too.

I have one of the docks. It is stupid that you have to plug in the phone manually, but for now I guess its the best we can get. The blue LED is a bit of a problem when you're using the phone and dock as a bedside clock.
Also, if you get the dog, turn the phone into a fancy clock with LightningBug app. It's like one of those mood things that plays sounds and visuals to calm you down or make you sleep. Looks awesome in the dock, like some super high tech alarm clock.

I suppose the big problem with gettin a dock is that the usb is in the side of the phone so it have to have a rotating holder too.

how did you get on with the cradle?

Has anyone seen a landscape dock for the phone? I cant see the point of a dock that you still have to plug a cable into!

I agree, you want it to be simple and not have to struggle with a cable if you want to dock your phone, so, does anyone know a docking station that does not require a cable?

Ok i found a landscape dock for Blackberry Storm 2, which is ALMOST same size, but the position of the usb can be incorrect. I dont have 20$ to try, if somebody would like, here : http://shop.crackberry.com/blackberry-charging-pod/5A100A5980.htm

They failed bigtime on this! How hard would it be to make one... I thought that someone in hong kong would be banging out loads of these.

How about this? cgi. ebay .com/NEW-HORIZONTAL-CHARGER-DOCK-BLACKBERRY-STORM-2-9550-/350443766033?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5198138111#ht_4520wt_943

anybody tried this?

I`ve ordered from DX before, they are great, albeit slow delivery on the free shipping (faster on the paid options)

This Desire Z dock would almost be perfect if it weren't for the fact that the mini port is located futher back on the Desire Z rather than dead-center like it is on the Wildfire. It may fit with a bit of sanding but I wouldn't give it any hope if you have a bulky case on the phone.
There must be something out there that fits or is bigger.
Bigger isn't really a problem as any space between the connector and the backwall can be padded out (I would actually prefer it to be too big as that gives more flexibility with fitting 3rd-party cases) and who really cares if the dock is too long or if the front of the phone overhangs the front of the dock a little?
As long as the phone sits securely and is easy to drop on and lift off, I'd be happy.

I think i saw one nice dock for WF at play.com, check there if ur from european country.

i think if you go into the clock app then the alarm and press menu, settings are available to change the colour of the led for bedside mode.

Accessory Wish List

OK, maybe I am just too geeked about this phone, but I figured we should put a wish list up for those of us that cannot stop drooling over this device.
I know the Atrix has a decent size battery, but I am often without a charger and the more juice I have is the better. SO...
I wish Mophie would make a Juice Pack case for the Atrix 4G. They make some of the best extended battery cases for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad I have ever used. The quality and extra battery life they have brought my iPhones has been unparalleled by anything else I have ever used. It would be sweet to have something like this for the Atrix.

A battery pack would be awesome; I can't really think of anything better though.

and a cheaper multimedia dock (aka just a $20 charging station /w USB hub and hdmi adapter).
Coming from an old Tilt with hardware keyboard, I'd also like to see a portable mini-keyboard to connect to the Atrix - wired or wireless. Something like the foldable iGo Stowaway Keyboard would be nice, but that one appears to be discontinued.
Really what would be ideal would be some sort of usb-like add-on that clips onto the phone and gives it an optional phone-sized keyboard for those times that it's useful - and can be left in a bag otherwise.
I sometimes take notes on my phone, and I don't see touch-screen tapping being as convenient as a physical keyboard (even if it's miniature). The laptop dock is a neat idea ... but even if it wasn't overpriced, all you really need is a tiny keyboard to take notes, which is a lot easier to carry around than a full-sized (pseudo) laptop for times you don't expect to need it.

I'd like to see a better battery an a Bluetooth keyboard case - similar to the Keyboard Buddy for the iPhone.

a game controller like the ones they have for the iphone

Official car mount spotted on amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Veh...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323123444&sr=1-16
Looks slightly different to the one seen before on Samsung US site (oops was looking at S2 mount then)
Unfortunately it is not out till 1st Jan

still trying to figure out if youre able to access the power button on this. no one has been able to show it and its not visible in any images
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

looking at the images, it looks like there is a soft part of the dock where the power buttons are, so you might be able to push them through the dock. also, im very glad to see an aux out on the dock. Coming from the N1 dock that didn't have this, it will be a great addition.

Anyone have some experience with the Exomount Universal Car Mount? I've heard good things about it and it seems like a good deal.

The exomount looks quite nice, but I have just opted for a cheap ebay one which folds nice and compact for the glovebox. I don't mount my phone very often any more, only when I need a bit of sat-nav and I know my common routes pretty well.

I will let you know how well it performs when I get it.

The aux out is AMAZING. I use a desktop dock and a Moshimoshi desktop phone that plugs into my N1. I have to plug it IN to the phone every time I put the phone into the dock, kind of obviating the purpose of a dock.
Totally thrilled about the pogo pins, surprised they figured out a way to carry audio through them AND power while still keeping them simple.

If it's anything like the Nexus one dock, audio is routed via Bluetooth. The 3 pogo-pins are (2) for power and the third transmits a simple code to tell the phone which dock it is in. When docked, Bluetooth is switched on, a new options page shows up in settings for audio routing. The night-stand clock is also automatically started (or car home if inserted in the car dock).
On another note, the desk and car docks for the nexus one were not available until several months after the phone came out. Surely the logistics of making these available at the same time are not that difficult.
-AS-

for £50 it should be made of carbon fibre or contain an independent battery.

Flexible width for side grip (Width :6 cm ~ 7 cm)
You better hope its 7.... Nexus width is 67.9mm
One "Universal" dock they tried to sell me in the shop didnt fit the GN... I made the sales man try it and he almost broke the dock trying to squeeze the GN in.

Desktop Dock that works with a case

I'm looking for a dock for the Epic 4G Touch that works with a TPU case and ideally has the microusb end built into the dock base. I've only seen one type out there, and I can't find the link now, but it got pretty bad reviews for sliding around not being stable, not syncing with the computer, etc... ( Even though it looks pretty cool, if I find the link I'll post it )
Failing finding a decent dock, maybe a good DIY idea for a dock would suffice, I don't mind building it myself if someone has laid out some plans. I've seen some out there on google, and either A.) Their way to basic( The business card holder ) or B.) Their way to complex( Saw one with 2 speakers built in, made out of balsa wood or something and had USB ports ... I don't need anything that extensive. )
So lets here it, anyone seen anything out there, or build your own ... What are ya'll doing for docks with a case on?

I have this one. It is nice, comes with a cable, does what it is supposed to do, works with a case. The drawback is it is very light, and you will not be able to just lift it out of the dock without securing the dock down, but beside that it works. I wish the cable was black, and not an apple knockoff, but the dock itself is nice, and you can use it with the phone horizontal as well, not plugged in of course, but nice for watching bedside videos. ( I can't post links yet, but search amazon for "micro usb dock" and it is the first link, it is called Sinjimoru Sync Stand )

Galaxy Note Desktop Cradle with HDMI output

Fellow Movie Lovers and Galaxy Note fans
Mugen announced a desktop cradle with HDMI output for "LET'S WATCH A MOVIE! ON TELLY" situation. I think it is a smart accessory for this phone, since Galaxy Note is a movie friendly device in general.

Comments? Expectations?
Release date is April 20, 2012

Will only be impressed if the screen turns off while it displays movie. Otherwise will stick to my cheap mhl adapter.

I would like to see an audio out on the device for older TV's/monitors that have DVI only. I don't want an audio cable sticking out the top.

are you serious? how can you control the movie when display is off? like swiping on the navigation or the movie itself to go back and forth. the cradle also charges the phone so having the screen stay on will not hurt.
---------------------------
Yeah it's a Galaxy Note, are you jealous?

Now why did they make it portrait? While the Note is sitting in the dock playing a movie, the movie on the Note will be sideways.

It is designed to be used either way, portrait or landscape - it sits very neatly on its side- perfect for landscape viewing as I do all the time.
It is a good dock given the limitations of the micro-usb connector. Given that, you have to put it in in portrait mode anyway, then turn it sideways.
I just have to wonder why they did not add pins so it can dock properly in landscape orientation. I am hoping somebody will come up with a back, or back plus battery combo that includes pins and a decent desk and car dock.

Yes I am serious. On my elocity tablet I use a widget called tegra display selector and guess what, it allows you to still use the screen. People also have things called Bluetooth keyboards and mice to control the screen while it is plugged in. I also hate having the glow from the screen of the note if I am trying to watch a movie in a dark room.

So did anyone get one of these? Does TV out work?

I have this good cable.
