Hello I am willing to buy a dock for the optimus 2x. I found this one, wanted to know what you think?

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-ac-battery-charging-dock-cradle-for-lg-p990-81449

I wonder if it is safe to use these docks for charging the phone?
It is safe, but not very well constructed, as the phone itself does not make contact with the plastic of the dock, so it only "wiggles" on the usb plug. I bought another one which is a lot better, and it can charge an extra battery as well: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/dual-u...th-extra-battery-slot-for-lg-optimus-2x-73031

...it uses mini-usb cables though, and the supplied power-adapter is not euro. (The supplied cable was too short to be practical for me.)

Your link is broken, please could you update as I would like a good/cheap dock.

Many Thanks

You've probably got one now, but thought I would comment as I have this one, and it's rather nice. It's a lot sturdier than it looks - I was afraid that it'd topple-over with the weight of the phone but it stays put.

My only gripe is the blue LED which illuminates my bedroom at night even when the PC is off, so I've stuck some black PVC insulation tape over it ;)

No I have not bought. I am considering buying this:
