Has anyone else noticed the 3th pic, de mini USB connector is in de middle of de dock, which would cause the phone to be off center when placed upon the dock.

Pictures are probarly stock pictures and not necessarily exactly right for the HoX but will give you a good idea of what to expect.

None of those will fit the one x though, the plug is at the wrong end and the wrong way around. Unless of course you want to dock your phone facing away from you with half the screen covered.

Hahaha, I hope this is come kind of generic image issue, this would be exceptionally stupid

Just found this one on Amazon.de:

USB-Desktop-Sync-Docking-Station

I think I might get it, seems to be exactly what I am looking for and the micro USB connector is at the right place too

Isn't that the same one from eBay?

Have someone think about hack that kind of cradle??
I think, I'll buy that one and try put MHL adapter inside, so when I'll put my HOX into a dock I'll get video on my desktop lcd screen right away.. Maybe mouse and keyboard also (over bluetooth) if place NFC tag on dock....

Will the original HTC dock allow charging as fast as the power supply that comes with the one x? Meaning, charging with 1 Ampere

I too want something that supports MHL. In this eBay listing (appears to be same model everyone is posting, and Expansys is currently listing), it shows what appears to be a micro-B female connector on the back. Hopefully all the lines are connected and an MHL adapter can plug right into that. Otherwise, we would need a type-A female to micro-B female adapter to convert the dock's cable into something that (might) work with an MHL adapter.

Has anybody tried to reverse engineer pogo pins? Otherwise I don't see any added value from the dock with micro usb... just use usb cable and some kind of stand...

not that I know off...

aren't the pogo pins giving even less of an option? they transfer audio and power...and the micro-usb transfers video/audio and power...

just use a stand and microUSB

I suspect that we will not see a lot of accessories using those pins. I am not an engineer, but they look so tiny that anything connecting to them should be built with really small tolerances, so it might end up being not so much more comfortable to use than the usb plug. What I mean is the difference between just casually dropping the phone in a cradle vs. having to take care of aligning it into a snug slot.

Maybe I am just saying crap though, the man went already on the moon after all

I was thinking the same myself, actually. Also, since some of the official hard cases have cutouts for the pogo pins, that means you need to account for the phone being two different distances from the pogo pins, yet still getting an accurate positioning.

Found this one on Amazon, which may be better for returns if it turns out to be crap

I think I'd rather get this one:

Docking station

Although it looks exactly like the other one, it has a rear view showing a micro (hopefully?) usb female plug, where I hope I will be able to plug my MHL cable.

I'll let you guys know asa I get it.

Maybe that is useful for the pins?

pinn___________ · May 10, 2012

Maybe not for everyone but I'm going to have a punt on one of these two as I basically just need something to hold it when used as an alarm clock.

I ordered one of these as a temporary bedroom/alarm clock holder till the official one ( or a good quality pogo pin is offered )

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280874101270?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

It's more curved than all the other ones and hopefully my phone will slot in easily.

I assume it won't make my phone enter dock mode though

Just oredered one of these off ebay, more stylish looking than previous ones, build quality probably isn't great but I will be chopping it up for use in the car anyway.

I am waiting for the Kidigi to use in the house.
