Default desktop cradle with extra battery slot anywhere??

Its a shame the aftermarket accessory people are so slow to release stuff for android phones..
has anyone been able to find a desktop cradle that charges the phone, and has an extra slot for a spare battery to charge?

Thanks so much!

I would love this too. I had an eris and took a seagate freeagent external hd desktop cradle and did a little work and made a desktop charger for the eris.

But eris used the mini usb...

Any kind of desktop cradle that is out there or I could hack apart with the same charging port?
- HTC G1
- HTC Evo (made the clear battery doors)
- Iphone 4s (sorry, was not impressed with anything after the Evo)
- LG Nexus 4 (very happy to be back home)

these desktop cradles/charging stations used to be really common and all over the place, but, for the last couple of phones I have had, its been hard, if not impossible to find them..

I know I want really bad. I have an extra battery from my TP2. I had a charging cradle with an extra battery slot. I gave it to the guy who bought my phone. I almost kept it just for the extra battery slot part of it but then I sold my phone so I gave it away.

Seido has a charger that can charge one battery, then charge the battery in phone at same time. but its not a dock
Device: iPhone 64g 4s
There is no need to fight in forums, nothing is accomplished by doing so. Except bruised Ego's and 5 more pages to read through.
GOOD BYE ANDROID

I think I saw that a few days ago..problem is,the phone still lays on your desk, instead of sitting in a cradle, correct?
Does anyone know if someone makes one for an HTC hd2?
Isnt that the same size/config as the EVO?

Oh really! I saw where ebay had some batterty chargers that charge battery only but I wasn't sure how good they were. They plugged into the wall. But Seidio sounds good if it charges phone and extra battery together. So far I make sure my phone stays charged cause I really am hoping I don't ever have to change batteries. It's hard to get Seidio case off and it lifts up my screen protector a bit taking case off. I need a cradle that will charge phone with case on and have an extra battery slot that would be what I need. But Oh well. I have to get the car dock 1st.

I am hoping for the same thing; desktop cradle to charge the phone, and, an extra slot to charge a spare battery...
