Not available yet. I expect T-mobile make a big deal out of it once it's available.

I agree, but I cant wait I need that for work. The car functions is one main reason I bought this phone. well besides the fact that it is awesome. lol

Frys electronics has one that's general for all smart phones for about 20 dollars I believe

i just boutght one of these http://www.arkon.com/ when i had my MyTouch3G/Dream. The one that hooks up to the bottom of the passenger seat. Just kept using it for the new phone. Their generic and i think they work well.

I'm hoping ProMount get a holder for the 4G soon - I love their dash mounts.

Just saw the Official Desk Dock. Very sexy. They said it would be available some time december.

Did he/she say anything about a car dock??

They were not displaying it. I didn't have time to ask. They were taking to others about Windows7 phones.

Hopefully the Car Dock will secure the MT4G phone just as well as the Nexus One dock does. The charging contacts on the side will mean that you can just put the phone in the dock (which is attached to charging) so you will not have to attach anything to the phone.
But....if the desktop dock blocks access to the USB (being on the same side) then data access will not be available on this phone while docked (just like the Nexus One).
Keeping my eyes peeled for anything at T-Mobile or ShopAmerica.HTC.com

Do we know for sure that you cant transfer data through the docking pins?

a hard car dock + an app like dynolicious would be killer!

These come up on the t-mobile website. I hope a better one comes out soon.

I have that 'myTouch car holder' one. It's meant for the original myTouch, and it kinds of sucks. It holds the phone just fine, and it's easy to adjust; however, the clamps have about .05mm of clearance between constantly holding the camera shutter button down, or constantly holding the Volume Down key. Really annoying.
Also, T-Mo opted to not include landscape support into the entire OS! So when you try to use the phone while running Navigation, your contacts are still sideways. So dumb...
I hope they really knock it out of the park with the GPS cradle. The Desktop Dock is kind of a disappointment / nothing super fancy.

http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-hands-free-mount I bought this off of Amazon for 19.99 back when I had my G1, it works very well but I get nervous everytime I pull my phone off because of the removable back, I might just buy another battery cover to permanently stick onto the dock and just pop it out and go

Nice find friend. Can you post a video of the device?

I bought the Arkon's SM325-S originaly. I switched holder with the
SM050-2 recently for the look. It's pretty snug, a little tight with the snap-on cover.

found a great car mount for the xoom

found a really good car mount for the xoom from Amazon ; well built, super stable, strong suction, easy to take off.
i drive a 08 subaru wrx so u know the ride is harsh and bumpy. that being said the mount has never fallen off with the relatively, big and heavy xoom on it.
im also using the COPILOT nav app from the market. full gps and mapping without the use of data. Best 4 bux i ever invested.

Dude!! Be very careful with this thing, I bought this after your post, and I've had it for 20 mins and it's dropped my Xoom twice already. Don't mean to be like that, but unless you want your $600 tablet busted up, I would highly recommend you take caution with this thing. Great in theory, worthless in practice.

Weird. Been using mines for the past two weeks and no drops. I also drive with a heavy foot on my gas at times in my wrx and still no drops

I think here in Wisc I'd get pulled over with that. It looks to obstruct the view of the road just a bit too much.
And in my Jeep I'd have no luck of getting it that close to the dash.
Cool find though! I still gotta get some metal and make me my mount lol

I would keep an eye on that suction cup too. I had a mount like that for my phone that used the exact same arm and after a couple of months the cup wouldn't stick to the windshield anymore. The lever on the suction cup broke and wouldn't keep the rubber against the window. It couldn't handle the pressure on it and that was only a phone being held up.

Ill keep an eye on it thanks. I take mines in and out of my windshield about twice a day (keeps those thieves away) and haven't noticed a change in suction. Since the Cali summer heat is approaching I would like to see how well this thing holds up.

I got mine in the mail today. I drove around for an hour with it and am satisfied. I have a scion TC with tein coilovers, so the ride is anything but smooth, and the mount holds up well. It jiggles some from the weight of the xoom so I find it helps to mount it low on the windshield and let the device rest partly on the dash to help support it. My cars windshield has an odd angle to it so the mounting process is a tad awkward but once you get it on it definitely stays there. Also noting the mount works with the incipio silicrylic case.

Universal Car Dock?

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?

Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks

I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

if looking for a generic bike mount that will literrally work with any phone/case combo, check out the this:

it's definitely priced on the high end, but you get what you pay for. i've been using this holder for my car and bicycle and it's been solid. btw, you can easily move the holder between car and bicycle.

How sturdy is the phone on that mount? And are you using that specific mount with the HTC One? Do you have a case on it.
I wonder if I should just order that or order something else from the RAM Mounts page directly

That's my quadlock I love it works wonders and never had an issue just thought you might like some pics

it's very sturdy. i ride at high speed over potholes and the phones has never fallen. if you upgrade your phone often, i would go this route as it will be compatible for almost any phone/case combo.
btw, if it helps, i also use the same mount on my scooter.

Interesting how you cut it out to fit the quadlock. I thought the cut was all the way through. So it's sticking to the inner part of the otterbox then?

I'm currently using the Caseco Core 360, stuck the mounting disc on the back of the phone and it works great, when you get close the magnets pull it and center it on the pin. Also the disc adds a nice place to put my finger and gives me a bit more grip on the phone. The car mount itself is also not ugly or imposing for my car interior. They tend to have sales often.
