Default Desktop Cradle?

Hi All - Early days yet, but has anyone spotted any 'desktop cradles' that also act as a charger for the Leo. I'd like mine to sit on my desk at work - so that everyone gets a good view of it!

What would be even better would be if it had the facility to hold a second battery on charge. I've got one for my Kaiser, but it's unbranded and I can't recall where I bought it.
Cheers, Steve P

I guess you could use the car kit (here) though that seems a little expensive. Haven't seen any dedicated stands, but I guess they will come when it's actually released...

According to one of the bigger mobile webshops in Sweden the HTC CR G300 cradle will fit the HD2? Can anyone confirm this?

i don`t think it is a good idea, because you must replace battery cover if you want to use this kit...

I don't think so because of the mini / micro usb connector.

I second that - saw that katshing had it as a "accessory" so I mailed them and got an answer that its a misstake.
as GotBoost states, they're not compatible with each other

Here's hoping HTC will release a HTC CR G300 style cradle that IS compatible with HD2.

Eventually they will I think, since probably all new phones will use Micro-USB since it becomes the defacto standard charger connector.

The HTC CR G300 is perfectly functional, but that is its problem. With the latest HTC to covet and show off, I would like something a bit more stylish and the car kit is just that. If someone can come up with a cheaper version of the car for deskmounting, it would make changing the cover on a permanent basis a more attractive option.

Default Cradle HD2

I have a HD2 on order and am looking forward to it next week !

But, the cradle remains unclear. I have the HTC CR G300 with a HD and I doubt very very much that this will fit the HD2 as the photos I have seen show the USB connector as slightly offset to the right.

In my humble view the HTC CR G300 will not fit.

Now, the car kit - this looks great and I'm tempted. But, until now I have not been able to discover if this has a data channel or only power. I suspect due to its intended function in the car that there is no data channel. So, use on the desk with PC is out.

I remain open on the car kit ...
