I am looking to get a docking station for charging and sync to my pc, but all the reviews i read on amazon and elsewhere are very mixed. Does anybody have a docking station they really like for charging and sync? I do not use a case at home so it will not be in a case when docked.

check out the RND Dock from this link...affordable and simple

Just a quick question... What do you mean with "sync"? Do you mean having your phone contacts and calendars and media accesible from your pc?

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.

I`ve ordered from DX before, they are great, albeit slow delivery on the free shipping (faster on the paid options)
http://www.dealextreme.com/photogallery.dx/sku.54443~seQ.2
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.

Dock Gps ?
Is there eany DOCKING STATION for our phone (dosking station for charging and sync) ?
No, the usb/charger input is on the top side...
I know that but maby there is some docking station where we can put our phone in lendscape and stick usb cable in dock and phone for charging and syncing...
I don't know any but maby you look for something like that for the galaxy s (same input). Or search for a wireless dock (bluetooth)...
The Bugattie slim case for Samsung Galaxy i5800 is a great Accessories, too .

hi iam looking for the original stereo headsets that came with this phone. ant ideas where to purchase them?
I want to buy a car holder from dealextreme.com, because they are 4-5 times cheaper than the local dealers who usually sell exactly the same stuff. Can anybody suggest a good and durable one from there?

Does anyone know of an alternative source for this dock?
I've had it on order for a couple of weeks now, but it's still showing up as out of stock - more due shortly
Can't seem to find anywhere else that's doing it!
Thx
Bought mine from an ebay reseller and it came in a week from South Korea..
http://www.exportprive.com/samsung-desktop-charging-dock-galaxy-i9100-p-16416.html
ordered spare battery, in the uk within a week
Thanks for that both....
@benjatt - When you searched on the exportprive site for it and it gave you that price.....was that the total price, inc postage etc? It works out 2 or 3 quid extra from them but if that includes the postage as well, I'll cancel my order with mobilefun and order it from exportprive instead, as I rang MF today and they said the next shipment should be in around the 8th July (the last one that should've arrived last Monday, never turned up at all!!)
@chybinj - exportprive are based in S Korea it seems, so your item might have come from their ebay shop!
If you think you can sync data or connect with this device, stay away from this. Yes, I do have it with a gold pack SGS II...
But you can not connect to PC nor sync with it. It is just a stylish charger device for desktop that's all... It does not have own speakers it just a bigger hole that increase sound a bit also.
I was really disappointed that it can not connect at all.. Was hoping for that...

Nope.....don't want to sync or anything...just want a nice and easy 'in-out' sliding action, into a good-looking bedside dock/charger (which, judging by the various vids I've seen of this device, it seems to give....) My current one, clunks in and out of the protruding micro-usb spiggot.....and echo's loudly off my bedside cabinet in doing so....which deffo isn't appreciated by my 'better-half', at 4.30am.....
Do ya want to get rid of yours by any chance...?
price and non sync ability is such a turn off....

Ah no, it is still good "desktop clock" (it has a desktop clock function built-in within the phone -- different type of idle screen)
However, glad I did not pay anything for it extra other than phone's cost.
I can recommend this one for everybody. It is so good. Already ordered another one for my work place.
And then the one question which everybody has been thinking: Does the phone fit there if using official Samsung back cover..
I should get the cover today, so I will try it as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
i also want to buy this desktop charger but i dont know if the phone is going to fit because i am using the skinomi body skin.
Does anyone know if the phone fits to this desktop charger with the skin

To all those asking about fit, it's tight. I have a protective skin on mine and it just barely makes it. Anything thicker than a protector won't work.
Bought one of these from Amazon, which was supplied by expansys, even though it said delivery delays it turned up in 3 days, then they reduced to 29.95 so I ordered another one again turned up in 3 days.
Excellent bit of kit, really nice for the bed side table to.
Shame thing it does not support usb connection

May we hope in some fix on the phone os to enable sync functionality?
Will having the S2 attached to the official dock all the time when being at home affect battery life?
Feel like spamming every dock thread with this question.

I think we must open this dock and cut shorted pins in micro usb plug.
Shorted pins make phone thinking that's an accesory, not USB cable...
Hey guys, I got an official S2 dock, very nice but what a shame, it doesn't sync!!!!!

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.
does anybody if there such a thing?? if possible with charging capabilites?

I found a Soundlogic Universal dock at Tuesday Morning (a closeout store) for $10.00; it looks like this one (uses battery or USB power)
http://compare.ebay.com/like/130757145982?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
I also saw something very similar in WalMart the other day for $19 - it came in several colors and the speaker cover was nicer. I lay the phone in landscape and plug the attached cord into the headphone jack. I use it as an alarm clock stand. My budget could not handle the Google Dock.
