Accessories Any word on a VZW Dock for the Incredible????

[CrazyCal]

Any information about this has been vauge at best. Anyone heard anything about VZW releasing a dock (for the Incredible) similar to the one for the Moto Droid?

no word yet though even the motorola droid X has one already!

Difference in manufacturers certainly show... It's disappointing that HTC cannot get a third party following (like an apple product base) and then not even have the ability to handle accessories themselves...

by the time the desktop cradle is available the phone will be discontinued and I'll be interested in the Moto Droid X

I found a bunch of docks on ebay. I like that it charges a spare battery at the same time, but I'm a little hesitant because I wanted a landscape dock. Has anyone bought one of these yet?

Yeah I really am having a hard time understanding why more accesories aren't available closer to the time of release. I also would like a landscape dock like the one above. something I could set on my night stand with built in plug to charge phone at same time. And where's out TV OUT cable. Lack of accesories and already rumors of Incredible fading away dissapointing.

I have a feeling (no proof, just a gut feeling) that we won't be seeing a dock. I mean, it's been 2 months since the release. I would expect some sort of delay, which is typical. Seems like the Incredible is the red headed Verizon step child.

These rumors are false.

I'm dying for a desktop dock but not sure if I should just wait for a legit one to come out.

I grabbed this one:

unfortunately my phone won't be in till tomorrow so I haven't actually hooked the phone to it yet. I did charge a battery in the spare battery charger slot. The dock looks sturdy, but my concern is that I will probably have to take the case off my phone to fit it into the stand. I'll report back after I actually put a phone in it.

I think the reason we haven't seen a dock is because landscape mode for Sense UI isn't available in Android 2.1. Rumor has it that Sense UI will support landscape mode in 2.2.

I thought this was the case too. Sense doesn't even have an automatic dock clock like the moto droid. Vids of 2.2 show the landscape mode and a charging/ clock dock mode. I bet dollars to donuts the cradle will come out after 2.2 when it can actually be used like the moto droid.

The phone can't be used in landscape mode at all?

Not on the home screen no. The moto can be put in the dock and the screen comes on in landscape to charge. Sense only goes landscape in programs like internet or games

Thanks for the quick reply! The iPhone is the same way, correct?

Sense has no landscape mode, but its not a limitation of android. The default clock app for example has a landscape mode, as do homescreen replacements like launcher pro. In short there's no good software excuse for no dock.

I'm hoping you're right...

Doubting it now.
