well personally I would rather go for an official dock that sits the phone landscape rather than have a crappy usb cable , plus bedside clock looks better in landscape.

It won't automatically put the clock on, all it will do is charge your phone, you would have to turn the clock on yourself.

Funny but this is becoming the holy grail of G2 owners. Every time I see a post like I check it out eagerly.

Ever since I got Alarm Clock Plus I've replaced my bedside alarm clock with the G2 and rely on it to wake me up every morning so the bedside dock is important to me.

What I've done is I just plug the charger into the phone and set the phone on its side in a business card holder. Doesn't look too bad.

Agreeed. I'm not sure it looks too great. The recent post looks like a better fit.

I actually ordered this exact same dock but from a different E-Bay seller, and mine came with a total of six items for $25.48 including shipping!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

It comes with:
1 x Horizontal Dock With Spare Batter Charger Slot
1 x Spare Battery
1 x AC Power Adapter (US Standard)
1 x Free Mini USB To Micro USB Converter
1 x Free Retractable Stylus
1 x Free Screen Protector

It ships from Hong Kong and the posting says its does NOT work with the US HTC G2 model, but I don't see how that's possible since the Desire-Z and G2 are built identically.

For all this, the Buy It Now price was/is $19.99 + $5.49 shipping. For that price I'm willing to take the chance. The seller has a 98.3% positive feedback rating from 35,864 feedback postings.

The only thing I'm not too thrilled about is that, according to the posting, to charge the phone and the spare batter you have to have the AC adapter AND the usb adapters both plugged in. But that really this a big deal.

That being said, I ordered mine on December 3rd and it shipped December 4th (from Hong Kong). SO I should be receiving it sometime this coming week. I'll report back once I have it on hand.

Blue, did you get the dock yet? If you did, can you give us an update please? I have been looking for a home dock and the one that you ordered seemed like a really good deal.
