I bought the blueant rechargeable speakers off ebay and like it. They are rare so you will have to watch for it.
not much of a dock, but then again its bluetooth...i saw this the other day when i was browsing around @ best buy...pretty novel concept
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...uetooth+speaker&type=product&id=1184369165394
I've seen these on eBay for cheap, curious if anyone knew of a reliable online site that had one like this for cheap. The link below is to one on eBay for about $4 shipped, looks like it'd be nice with not too much extra bulk. Also seen ones with a short cord for the same price on eBay and about $14 at other online stores. Might be too small, but thought it'd be cool to have.

Looks like with this you can use your own headset but can not charge the phone at the same time. I am using this one with which you can listen to music and also charge the phone if you want. Check this link.

I have something that looks exactly like that, from Sedio. I got it so that I could use my Shures instead of the cheapo HTC ones.
I have to say that I was disappointed, as the wire is pretty flimsy, and I wonder how long it will last. I cannot imagine it lasting too long. It does work well though.
Don't you guys already have one? My Fuze came with one. I also have a 3mm/USB Elbow like pictured in the original post, that I got with my work motorola flip phone (cheap verizon). I haven't tried it with the Fuze yet (I should).
Does anyone know if you can use a headset with built-in mic with these adapters?
I mainly want to use it with my Shures but wouldn't mind using it with my iPhone headset to make calls with from time to time.

I've seen accessories for the Fuze that plug into it and have a mic on them, and a 3.5mm jack to plug your own earphones in. So I'd imagine whatever headset you get with a built in mic will work as long as it plugs into the 3.5mm jack.

A 3 band headset with mic works (aka original iPhone and blackberry type) but the newer 4 band on the new in-ear ipod headset does not. FYI.

I just received mine and it's awesome.
The size is just perfect and most important: it works
The only "negative" thing is, that the phone thinks that there are headphones connected whenever the adapter is plugged in, even if just adapter and USB cable are connected. But why would anybody connect the adapter, when he/she doesn't use headphones?
Anywhere in Aus?
Does anybody know if you can get this on any other online store other than Amazon? They want to charge me $40 for shipping for a $5 product!
I live in Aus and it's so hard finding stuff like this, it looks awesome.
guyes, should these adapters be plug and play?
I bought something similar for my HTC touch pro and it doesnt work, the sound still plays out of the phone speakers.
what am i doing wrong?

Yes. They're plug and play. If you bought one and it didn't work I'm sorry It's either faulty or you didn't buy the right type. An htc device uses extUSB not a regular usb like the moto adapters use.
This weekend I'm going to a radio shack to buy to do-it-yourself plugs. Why buy these connectors when you should be able to make one yourself? My idea is to open up the headset, remove the standard earplugs and rewire it to a 3,5mm socket (don't know how to call it). Voila, you have your own adapter with microphone too!

You need a female 3.5mm socket, a soldering gun, some patience, and some time. It would take some skill, you'd have to open it up carefully and if you don't solder right, you'll ruin it.
Yes. You heard right and its made through sprint here's the link with the full details
http://i.engadget.com/2010/11/02/evo-4g-hdmi-dock-finally-shows-up-at-sprint-stores-will-come-ho/
sent through my Special Edition White HTC EVO 4g while in the ****ter
EVO Sweetness!
I checked it out in store placed my device in dock wasn't to impressed
HDMI & USB connectors made me nervous seeing how there's very little back support on dock thus weight of device pulls on them.
$40, and doesn't work even Sprint's own extended batery or cases...
Yeah, I think I'll just make by own by using the kickstand, and a $10 cable from eBay.
Speaking of this... has anyone tried to pair the evo hdmi via an adaptor for the older DCI input on LCD tvs?
This is pointless without full hdmi

bought mine last week. Pita to dock it on the fly. Not impressed.

HDMI Cable
So, I bought an HDMI Cable a couple of days ago, when I plug it in to my TV it freezes my phone!!! so i need to do a battery Pull... is there a fix to this or is it the cable?
O wow, thats what I did, I saw it on Engadget this morning and ran to the Sprint store to get it.
I bought it, I like it, looks nice on my desk, nothing special though... I wish someone could mod my HTC CR G300 Dock to fit my EVO...thats one sexy dock
Edit: I also await that great day when someone gets us full HDMI support on the Evo
Wait, it holds the device veritcally?

wow an hdmi dock for a phone where the HDMI is pretty much completely worthless. i can't believe what a rouse the hdmi dock on this phone has been.

looking at some of the pics from the various brief reviews around the web, it seems this device has four pogo pins vs the SGN's three.
so what do we reckon they are for?
i would personally love to see a landscape dock with HDMI & USB host, just like the Advent Vega/ Viewpad 10S had. such a nice feature for a mobile office, also great for playing games on the big screen! :laugh:
place your bets here the closest guess wins a Nexus 7
(no not really, but wouldnt that be cool?)
there are POGO pins for the dock

Same here. Epic sat nav... especially with the offline maps coming.
Betting keyboard like the lapdock
by me, for me and I love you
My money is on a desk dock similar to that released for the GNex, first, followed perhaps by a vehicle dock. I'm not seeing much chance for a keyboard dock; the 7" form factor is too narrow, I feel, and it doesn't mesh well with Google's apparent intention for this to be an almost exclusive consumption device.

being four pins... is it too much to ask for MHL? I can live with a BT keyboard but MHL is somewhat of a deal breaker for me.... especially as the $300 tennis ball isn't avaliable in the UK (and likely wont be for some time!)

MHL needs 3 pins (Differential pair + control) + power + ground So it can't be MHL.
I'd say it's more likely to be something simple like stereo audio+power+ground

Uhhhh... if mhl needs 3 pins and this has 4, how is that a problem again...?? Can they just NOT use one pin for mhl... and use the extra pin for some other accessory...??

MHL need 3 pins for _signal_ you would also need power and ground, for a minimum of 5 pins
Probably the same as the Nexus and just a lame $90 desk dock that only has a head phone jack.
My best hope is you will get an audio dock (with speakers) that should be great for watching movies. 4 pins is not enough for much else - and Asus has talked about an audio dock.
Audio dock is on the way for sure. Possibly no keyboard, though.

You are correct.
"Those hoping for a docking keyboard, as found on the company's Transformer range of tablets, should expect to be disappointed however. Asus has told Pocket-lint there were no plans for one telling and that the device needs to be 10-inches or more for it to work effectively."

hopefully its for an awesome, dual analog, 4 face button, 4 shoulder button, slim game controller dock that comes with an easy to us GUI touch map software and full tegra support. PS Vita watch out!
but in reality its for the stereo speaker dock, that will probably cost halve the amount the actual tab costs and sound like a deaf person singing...

Does a micro USB cable ---> car charger power + audio 3.5mm connector exist? Coming from the iPhone I had such a cable that was convenient, only 1 connector to plug in the car, not to mention that with 2 cables on the N4 it would be very weird, power at the bottom, 3.5mm jack on top, at least they could have put them on the same side ... While my car has bluetooth, it doesn't support A2DP, my only option is audio through a cable into the AUX in.

Unfortunately I don't think that will work for me as I still want my N4 to connect to the car's integrated bluetooth for phone calls. I don't think it would be able to connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time.

Ah nice! But I'm still looking for a cheaper alternative, in the form of a cable ...
I'm looking for something like this as well.
Would something like this be compatible?

You might want to double check that the Nexus 4 has proper USB audio capabilities. The Galaxy Nexus never did, and as such, using the headphone jack or Bluetooth were the only options. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any USB audio for the Nexus 4, but then again, I've never tried or researched.

I've tried to dig around a bit, but can't seem to get any confirmation. With the cable being $6 and free shipping though, can't really go wrong. I may just get one to try it out, but not sure, weighing my options at the moment.

I know for a fact that audio output through the usb port is supported because I've used it. I do not however have any knowledge of the build quality or pinout of that particular cable.
