Anybody knows whether the dock for the Z will fit or is the same for the ZL? At the Sony site they have a dock for the Z but not ZL.

No. The dock only works with the Z via the Charging Pins that are on the side of the phone which the ZL does not have sadly,
I think sony wouldn't make a dock for ZL, because it doesn't have water-resist

Out of curiosity, why would you say this? A lot of Sony's previous phone models weren't water-resistant, and yet they made docks for most of them...
I'm hoping for a dock, myself.

Judging from the little face with the fun he included at the end of his statement, I think he was joking.

Seeing as how there are no Pogo Pins or Inductive charging, I dont think a dock would be all that productive. At this point having a dock would defeat two of its main purposes; 1. Reduce wear on the uUSB port, 2. Make it easy to "dock-undock" the phone.
The z has a dock because of the hard to access usb port. Since the ZL has no flaps, they will probably just use the usb as a docking pin. Which, as you say, defeats the purpose entirely.

Looks like SE is putting out an official one:
Stand and charger in 1:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ep920?cc=au&lc=en
And it seems a bundle with an extra battery:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ep952?cc=au&lc=en
Pretty weak.. looking at it some more, it doesn't charge the phone. Just the battery...

XMB on ARC - watch the video - http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/prod...20?cc=au&lc=en
How do you do this?
Now the big question! When will it be available?
to be honest your probably better off buying one of the ones on ebay. At least they come with a lead for charging
Does any1 know what this costs in £ UK

to OP this is nice finding. MobileCity in NYC has had one with same title for along time but no picture, at least now I know this is not for me.
I wish the would design something that you could attach to your phone and use as night stand. something like the one they did to Xperia play stand.
Weak sauce, they could at least release something with a micro USB plug. It's their flagship phone, they should show some love.
Well, there is some hope:

My answer is simple... no!
It "must" be "iphone simple". Just plug it in, not connect this usb first and then this earplug and hey, dont forget the HDMI and so on.
Just a simple cradle to dock and "all is connected".

Unfortunately these little companies producing these product are no professional designer and mostly do some copycat.
You best bet is to wait for SE release of a better product and I am yet to see any good third party company with decent quality/design product for SE stuff.
It sucks, but that is the only way for now.
While I still go with my statment above but this one is better since the usb is sticking out.
This is more what I am looking @...thought to share it in case anyone else wants one.

Edit: I think this was built for Desire Z but it should work.
Edit2: By looking @ photos usb is in other direction, not sure if this is usable with arc.

The N1 dock does both, plus bluetooth. I'm sure a dock for THE Googlephone will charge the phone. If not, they might as well not have the thing.
the most boring thing is that the phone is out and we have no info on accessories, this is the worst launch I have seen in years.
I second that. I have had to resort to buying cheap cases to protect my £500 phone. :|

You are surely mistaken - the Nexus One dock doesn't output HDMI at all. In fact, it doesn't output any kind of video.
Anyone found this in stock anywhere? so far the only place i've seen it listed was ATT's website.. but of course... they are out of stock currently. i've seen plenty of ones for the Play listed on Ebay but i doubt they are compatible with the ION... but idk for sure... mayb Spectre you could check it out and see if the usb matches up enough .... would really like a dock in my life ha!
It's not available yet. Should be out in another week or so. I'll find out the release date.

I am afraid this listing is not quite accurate. As far as I know DK20 is a smartdock for Xperia P which is way smaller than ION.
I just realized that the phone wont fit inside the dock if the phone has a case, of course tho you can remove the case but then it becomes an inconvenience
Docks just got in to the Sony store warehouse so they should be available from the website.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Was just gonna ask about the dock compatibility with a case, but it looks like someone just covered that. I was kinda hoping it would work with a case, but had a feeling it wouldn't based on the pics. Kinda makes it a pain when you want to use it. Can anyone else that has it verify that it wont dock with a case on?

If you want a dock that will work with a case look at the Live dock from Sony. Has one USB port only though for connecting other devices. .

as is, the ion fits perfectly with the dock. that way it doesn't move around when connected. for a $70 dock, the last thing I want to worry about is a phone connecting loosely to a dock

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but there are still ways to create a dock so that a case can still remain on the device (I think Spectre mentioned the Live Dock, which appears to work with a case). Anyhow, I just think that manufacturers should give this more consideration, as a lot of people put cases on their phones and would like to use docks without always having to remove the case every time they want to use the dock.

Yes, but to be compatible with all the different case designs and form factors would be impossible. Unless there was a standard case...which would likely meet no ones taste.

No the spacing is different between the two devices USB & hdmi ports.
Kidigi makes an Xperia S dock that works with cases but I dont know about Ion. I am gonna mod my dock to include dock mode tonight!
as other mobiles are getting docks as well, i wonder why the ion dock is the only one with usb ports (excluding livedock), others have normal hdmi port and charger only, even xperia p smart dock became without the usb ports, weird??!
IMO it's just a gimmick. It's a way for them to justify it selling for $70. Sure, it would be kinda cool to hook up a keyboard and mouse and control it that way on my big screen, but that's why I have a laptop. It is unique, though, and I like the possibilities if the firmware can be hacked for the dock to be able to do other things. With that said, I would still like to get one

other things like what? it has the full capabilities of usb on the go, so i can attach it to externaly powered HDD for example, i guess they removed the usb ports fearing that users may connect high power demanding devices, i even wanna try charging another phone through it
You can game on it, for example. But Sony screwed it up by making it pricey. Including dual usb ports shouldn't make the dock cost more. It's not like usb 2.0 is new, had it been usb 3.0 then maybe the price would have seemed right.

Hello!
I want to get this great phone for my sister.
seeing she has a history of somehow dropping the phone into the toilet i think that should be a great phone for her:laugh:
Thing is, i'm worried about how really waterproof the phone is.
What happens if she doesnt seal properly the port after charging for example? does every port in the phone need to be manually sealed each time after usage? (charging/headphones).
thanks!

If she doesn't close the ports then it would just be like any other normal phone dropped in the water. Also not all ports are covered. Headphone port isn't covered but is waterproof. Charging(USB) needs covered ports but if you buy the dock then you won't need to use the USB port but the magnetic connector instead which is also waterproof without any covers.
Phone will remind her to close the ports. So that is a bonus. Just tell her not to disable that warning.
And get her $10 magnetic charging cable so she will not have to open the charging port cap at all for charging the phone. This way no need to pen any port doors unless you want to transfer files over Usb. Eden that can be avoided by setting up Wifi file transfer.

The dock has changeable inserts that should allow you to use the phone with a cover. Perhaps the Z1 compact will fit with the insert designed for the Z ultra+cover.
I am generally pretty confident in the waterproof designs from Sony. Last summer I retrieved my mothers Xperia Active from the bottom of a harbour after it had spent spent 10 minutes at 2.5 metres in salt water. It was running when brought up and still works nicely and she is using it every day. I also routinely brought my old Xperia Go to the shower to be able to control the music playing from my bluetooth speakers. This never posed any problem either. I haven't subjected my new Z1 Compact to any liquid challenges yet though.
