Accessories

What about accessories? Do we think there will be a media dock and a car dock like the OG Droid, Droid 2 and Droid X. To me those are a must to have for accessories.

Check this out, but in the end it will always depend on what online stores order and when they order it. I know HTCPedia has their inventory inbound, but no comments as of yet when its due to arrive, which I find odd.

Doubtful. HTC might provide it with a media dock, but they don't really have a good track record. Motorola is the best bet if you want a lot of accessories like that.

Well it does have a side port located on the left side, and per HTC's liking for landscape mode , bottom is to the right that would make it perfect for docking and since the kickstand is there it obviously meant to be use side ways so, I would assume any accessory manufacture would see the benefits of making a good car dock for a phone that is ment to dock and has a TOM TOM based GPS software.
IDK just a guess id think they'll be fallin all over themselves to patent something really cool and future proof

But in order to use the kickstand and rear speaker you cannot plug it into a USB port to charge. It would require someone to offer a USB landscape charging dock that allow for the kickstand to be open. That's a tall order.

Thats a good point on the kickstand to be open in a landscape charging dock. It would make sense to have a car dock though with Google Navigation on it.

I cannot see HTC ignoring this in their design, there has to be something we don't see in terms of audio use with the kickstand closed.
