You don't understand, I was REALLLY wanting a Desktop Dock (I even said so earlier today in another thread) and this happens. It is like Jesus was watching over me personally. Plus, the one (plain) case looks FANTASTIC!

I don't think they ever had any stock. Someone in another forum said the dock has been there since the Captivate was released in July. Also, the edges of the dock are rounded - not too Captivate-friendly.

The official Samsung press release is dated for today.

I'm not positive if the accessories are on sale as of yet but at least we know of Samsung's intentions.

I had a quick look at their website and it was horrifically organized. I gave up.

Important thing to note though is that Samsung officially announces Galaxy S accessories

SAMSUNG MOBILE UNVEILS PREMIUM GALAXY S SMART PHONE ACCESSORIES
New class of smart phone accessories feature compact desktop dock, convenient portable vehicle dock, and affordable spare battery charging solution to help make the Galaxy S smart phone experience brilliant

DALLAS, August 11, 2010 — Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S., today announced a line of premium accessories for the Android™-powered Galaxy S smart phone portfolio. The lineup of premium Galaxy S accessories, including a convenient desktop dock, vehicle dock and backup battery charging system, will provide users with an enhanced mobile experience for each of the Galaxy S smart phones.

The Samsung Galaxy S accessory lineup includes a small, compact desktop dock providing consumers an easy-to-use option to view their favorite movies, listen to music, display as a digital picture frame and use the desktop speakerphone when making hands-free calls while at a desk or in a home office. The Galaxy S desktop dock, which also doubles as a charger, allows for useful application downloads and internet browsing features such as Google Search™ by Voice, which allows users to speak their search query. Users can download the Desk Home application from the Android marketplace by searching for “desk home Samsung”. The Desk Home application can switch brightness levels from day to night and provides one-touch access to the Daily Briefing, alarm clock, music, pictures, movie gallery and local weather so that you can always stay up-to-date with daily activities.

The Galaxy S portable vehicle dock allows users to mount their device to a car windshield or dashboard and display turn-by-turn instructions for a safe, hands-free GPS navigation experience. Users can receive and display the latest traffic alerts, location-based information and activate the Google Search™ by Voice features when the Galaxy S smart phone is in the vehicle dock. The lightweight vehicle dock rotates freely between landscape and portrait modes and is attachable to either the windshield or car dashboard. The vehicle dock also contains a micro USB connection to conveniently charge a phone while in-use.

The Samsung Galaxy S accessories lineup offers an affordable charging solution that includes three components such as an extra 1500 mAh battery, a spare battery charger with phone stand and a wall charger for charging your phone and spare battery separately. The backup charger is small enough to fit in a pocket, purse or briefcase to transport and protect a charged backup battery allowing users smart phones to always stay powered-up while on-the-go.

Customers can also personalize Galaxy S smart phones with multiple protective case options, available in a variety of colors, patterns and fabrics to fit the needs of each consumer’s personal style. Additional Galaxy S accessories include a three-pack screen protector set with anti-scratch, mirror, and privacy screens as well as the Samsung WMG160 Wi-Fi HD streaming device.

Not sure why they would make a Dock for the Captivate and make it "not too Captivate-friendly" Probably just the viewing angle of the picture.

I am currently in for the Case though and it is in stock and shipping tomorrow.

I can't find the vehicle dock on there anywhere. I think I'll stick with my $14.99 Arkon vent mount, seeing as how the desktop dock is $40, I'm guessing the car dock will be around $50. And who knows if you can use a case with it, I know you can with the Mega Grip.

The dock is for the Galaxy S line of phones, which all of them but the Captivate have rounded edges like the iPhone 3Gs. The Captivate is more squared off on the edges, which means, while it will still work, it will not look as clean as if you had a Vibrant or Epic.

The dock I researched is specifically for the ATT Captivate

If you notice the only product it matches compatibility for is the Captivate. OOS

This charger and stand

supports both the Captivate and the Vibrant. Also oos.

I called today - accessories are not in stock yet :-|

Been checking the site everyday since the weekend this phone came out. Dock has been their sold out since day one. They had a cool car kit but seemed to have pulled it a week or so ago. I remember it was the same price as the dock so I think that's $39.99.

I just receieved Shipping confirmation on the Case I ordered yesterday, so that is not true of all accessories.

 

[Terrigno]

I cant wait to jump on the offical black leather puch and desk top charger. Im stoked!

 

[Mamba24]

The Arkon mount looks like a great alternative to the official one, especially since it's not on the site and as much cheaper thant the official one.

 

[Raven71]

Good news cause I misplaced the wall socket a day ago. I took the cable to use on the computer to sideload. Now I can't find the wall plug. It's some place unless my dog decided to bury it outside.

 

[Gnortiz22]

I am thinking about buying the official wallet case that samsung makes for the captivate. Can someone who has purchased it offer any thoughts about it?
