Accessories Charging Cradle

[jimczyz]

Has anyone seen a desktop charging cradle for the G1 anywhere yet?

I hope I don't offend anyone or sound ignorant, but what the piss is a desktop charging cradle?

A desk top cradle is really just a holder for your phone. It holds it in the upright position while chargeing and/or syncing. To get an idea of what I am talking about, google tmo shadow cradles. It will give you some pics and a clearer picture of what we are talking about.

I have an idea. Why not make your own, using Lego's! Its easy to build and you can use you existing USB cable. :-D I think im heading over to Toys R Us tonight. Ill try and post a "How To" if it works out correctly.

Pad the cradle with a monitor cloth.

Don't want to scratch it up.

Hooked, huh? My wife told me no Fable tonight.

Legos have been insane for a while. Craigslist used ones.

This might work but not sure it is what you are looking for. They also have a HTC sub hub that you plug into your g1 and it has like 2-3 usb ports for like $14.00 so together it might get you closer to what you are looking for and no lego's!!!

I was able to modify a cradle from an HTC touch pro, just had to take the plastic u shaped piece off until I get my cradle from here:http://www.igonemobile.com/product.aspx?p=17235

SWEET!!!

Am I reading this correctly that it will charge up a second battery at the sametime as the phone???

Nice looking too.

Yes, it has a slot in the back for charging an extra battery. I like it and the price is nice also.

Hey! I just got G1 cradle from here http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?skuno=82000. This is made by Amzer and I am using their cradles from last 3 years for my blackberry devices. This has xtra battery charger and sync option also

Wow...that looks nice. The price seems a bit steep though. I want to hold out for one that has built in speakers like the one I have for my HTC excalibur (since its the same USB connector...I have even thought about taking a dremel to it and see what happens)

If you get it from Amazon.com the price is way more managable.
