It's not OEM, but it looks exactly what many have been waiting for:

HOLD THE PHONE!!! Is this using the gold contacts???? If so, sign me up for 2 right away!

 

[pantlesspenguin]

That's sure what it looks like, according to the video! I'm stoked!

It seems to me that those pins would hold a stable contact only if there is something pressing the phone against them, like a snap bracket on the top. Otherwise, it seems they might loose contact often.

 

[LadyDi]

It doesn't seem to snap down. I agree with RTV on how it stays connected. Hmmm... looks nice though.

 

[jbjtkbw007]

It's by contact. Wouldn't the weight of the phone just keep contact? My Logitech Harmony charges by contacts and the remote just sets on top.

Also....not expected to ship until March 15th.

What planet are you from? Here on Earth, gravity is pretty reliable.

LOL cute . Yeah, I had a charging dock for my Blackberry 9700. I just rested the phone in the dock & it stayed connected to the charging contacts. As long as it's a loose fit, gravity should be enough. However, that also means that the dock needs to be on a totally flat surface.

LOL. Usually the tables and desks are built that way.

Maybe in San Francisco they're not??? j/k

Yeah. When I got my 9700 cradle, though, I was hoping to keep it on the edge of my bed. Didn't work so well.

Checked the website today... says the dock officially starts shipping March 25th for $29.95 with free shipping. If it works with the pins, is anyone going to get this?

Hi guys. Why can't I buy this?? Is this sold ANYWHERE else but on that site??
Also, this doesn't look like an official HTC product. Does HTC make the, yet??

 

[mjdato]

If HTC makes it I can't find it anywhere.

 

[alexstein]

Can't find it either...can someone direct us in the right direction.
Thanks
