Default Included Accessories???

So I checked out the Engadget site and have been looking over all the photos as well as doing some searches. For some dumb reason when Engadget did the photo shoot of the unboxing they never took any photos of what is included in the box other than the shots with it wrapped up in the packaging still and no mention in the article. Does anyone know what this phone will ship with or do I have to wait until tomorrow? I saw what looks like contacts on the bottom of the phone for some form of docking station I would assume. I have also seen a screen shot that showed it has an Automobile Theme like the Droid does. So I would assume there is a car dock. Is that included or is it only the basic stuff like what HTC has always shipped like charger, USB cable and headphones?

I have not been able to find any more info on this....

Thanks

If you look at the leaked screens of the purchase page for the nexus one there is the $180 subsidized phone & $530 unsubsidized phone as we all know, but below that there is an option for a desktop charging dock and a car dock which are sold separately. However, in the engadget photos you mention I couldn't help but wonder what the larger item a the bottom of the box was as well. Despite being covered by some sort of styrofoam it looks a lot like some sort of dock...

Hope that helps, either way we'll know tomorrow for sure.

Yeah, that was the main part in question. I bought one of those cheap docks for my G1 that charges a second battery and I like it. I kind of became accustomed to having a dock for it at home for my night stand. I wonder if the car dock will charge as well?

If it's stuck, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway • Lynx is the best browser ever. No I am not kidding.

Thanks, so it looks like the typical HTC Accessories. I wonder what the Charger looks like? It would be cool if it were a dock. At least that is what I would prefer.

I can see myself getting this phone provided that the leaked limited plan options doesn't pan out to be true. I don't see my self buying the full unlocked phone as my G1 isn't up for renewal yet. I can upgrade my wife's phone to this and give her my G1. Problem is that we are on a Family Plan and we have no desire to change that. I guess it will come down to the numbers. If it is going to end up being like that then I will likely just have her upgrade to the Motorola Cliq as she liked that phone and I would keep my G1 until the contract is up. For the same price though we could get a better phone, it would just be a lot more expensive per month for us. My G1 is Ok being it is rooted and running CyanogenMod.

I think they are going to follow Apple's lead and sell a dock for a "small" fee.

One thing that appears to suck though is that it looks to have a Micro USB connector rather than the Mini USB that my last 3 phones have all used. Oh well. If I go with it I will have to buy new car chargers. That is if I don't get the car dock which I most likely would. It is nice though to have one charger in our car that works on any of our phones now.

it also comes with a soft case that looks similar to the case the original PSP came with.

I was thinking the same thing, but then realized there are mini to micro usb adapters on ebay for like less than a buck. It looks like micro usb is starting to be the new standard like it is overseas.

I believe the USB micro is the new standardized connector for EU for all their new phones. I hope everyone follows on EU's lead on this soon. (I mean Apple).
