Accessories Where the hell are our accessories?

It's amazing the lack of respect that the Dinc gets...

I mean, it certainly was rushed to market, yet it is still a home run even when comparing it to all these new phone releases.

But.... That being said.... even HTC hasn't stepped up and provided accessories.... and hasn't fixed the Sense UI to take advantage of them...

example is just a standard dock.... because they haven't corrected the Sense UI on this phone, you can't use it in landscape for a dock.... even when I use it in my car dock in landscape, if someone calls, I have to flip the phone back...

Hopefully, Sense on Froyo will have these issues corrected.... But, there is no excuse for not having a product supported with accessories...

Froyo's sense doesn't do landscape on the main desktop, so there goes our hope for a real, HTC backed dock (Horizontal anyway).

How about someone organizes a petition to HTC pertaining to the Incredible specifically?

Organize Incredible owners on this forum, and every other high traffic Incredible forum on the internet. Wouldnt be very difficult, as all Inc owners who are active on internet forums pertaining to our handset would be interested in this and it is simple to sign a petition.

State something along the lines of this.

Tens of thousands of us, as loyal supporters of HTC, trusted the company to support us when we spent our hard earned money, and invested our hard to come by upgrades in order to purchase the HTC Incredible.

We are now stuck with a phone that is not supported at anywhere near the level we expected, or anywhere close to the level that other devices are supported.

We insist that HTC addresses our needs, and follows through on the support that was implied. We are committing to not purchase another HTC device, ever, if our investment in the HTC Incredible continues to be ignored by the company with whom we trusted our commitment.

Or something along those lines, and post it all across the internet as well as sending it to HTC directly. Just a thought.

yes there isn't jack for a DINC that works the docking cradle spare battery charger you can but from like talk tech and wirefly is crap. The connection on end of my mini usb just fell apart the charger never charges the spare battery I had a 1300mh sitting on there for a day and half took it off put it in my phone it was at 39percent. Charged in two hours in my phone. its doesn't even tell you when its fully charged jut two stupid blue and green lights always on. Car chargers wow this phone sucks it up as fast as a car charger can give to it. its like it will never charge when its on. There isn't even a dock for someone who wants to have a case on their phone i.e think plastic and glass design. plllleeeeeaaassseeee come out with a battery we can use cases with that has some life, docking options and some form of high quality battery charger and or car charger.

Honestly, the only real accessory I care about at this point is the Otterbox Commuter case. Just something to protect my phone.

I sincerely doubt that will be coming anytime soon either. iPhone4 case is already out but nothing for HTC yet (INC or EVO). I mean...I know it makes sense (no pun intended) since the iPhone 4 has way more owners that EVO or INC but show us some love Otterbox!

Apparently the Otterbox cases are here. At least the Commuter, from what I understand and the Defender is coming in like 3 weeks. So, it took them a bit, but they are coming.
