Recently I purchased an HTC Fuze and am quite happy with it. Anyway I decided to get tomtom to sort of have an All In One electronic. I went looking around for something that can keep my hands free and my phone with the TT in a good sight. Since my TomTom Go modded mount didn't work too well I decided to go out and find a good GPS/Phone holder. So I went to wall-mart tonight and picked up this nifty device.http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/337/productID/1593. I know that it says that it is $29.99 but I actually picked it up around $22 with tax. I know to some this may seem a lot but it is money well spent. And don't worry about size for most if not all the phones from this board should fit on this device. If you would like pictures of it installed in my car with my Fuze in it I will get those up by Sunday night!
sorry can someone move this to Accessories. I didn't even see it.

I found this on ebay, anybody got one, are they any good???
XDA2 Car kits
Give this guy a call, i've installed one in my car it works fine. Trust me i'm not taking a back hander just recommending a good product.

He also does good GPS gear too!
Yeah, I got a brand new XDA2s on insurance, but I just found out that I was elligable for an upgrade so I have a Wizard coming on thursday, hence I don't need it.
As this is the third one of these I've had, and an XDA2 as well, I have a ****load of accessories I don't need anymore, so I'll chuck in an extra 2 docking stations, an extra few stylus' (I have never lost one in my life so I must have quite a few) and and extra charger (and maybe a car charger if its incompatible with the XDA mini s) and everything else in the other XDA boxes.
Oh and an aluminium case with holes in it for caller ID and all the buttons. Also, if that car kit I made doesn't work with my new XDA mini, I'll throw that in too. Just needs a cheapy FM transmitter to work and you can talk/listen to music in stereo through you car's stereo system.
I'm gunna put it on ebay this friday, but if any of you guys want it for £195 I'll sell before. You know I'm good for it! I talk to a few people off this forum on MSN, so you know I'm not gunna do something stupid like report it stolen after 2 months or scam you guys, and I benefit because I trust you more than ebay fools with 0 feedback who are inevitably gunna bid.

you have a pm
Just wanted to share this. I always drag my charger back and forth to work. I decided I didn't want to do that anymore. More often then not I don't even use it, but nice to have in case I want to flash something or if I actually need a charge. Anyway, found this and ordered it. Had it in 2 days and it is OEM. Just passing on a good deal.

Several reviews from unhappy ATRIX customers ranging from wrong cable to only the wall plug shipped to used product to doesn't work. I think Ill pass.
Mine crapped out on me so I'm giving it a try. I just ordered the one that's fulfilled by amazon ($3.50) since I have a prime account. I'll update about the quality/condition once I get it. For that cheap I'm not too worried.
The one I got works fine and appears to be brand new. For 3.46 I am satisfied.
Well, mine came in today. It works like you'd expect it to. It had a few small scratches (from shipping, I believe) but it seemed in perfect condition otherwise. I only used it a bit earlier because I was about to head out when I got it, so tonight will be the first actual "full charge session". I can't imagine it will magically stop working, but I'll update if anything shows up.
Like I said earlier, even if it hadn't worked, I wouldn't have minded too much. I'd be a little upset but for $3.50 I'd get over it pretty quickly. If you want an extra charger or need a replacement, I'd recommend going for this unless you can find a better/cheaper alternative.
woot thanks i needed the extra microusb cable
I ordered mine before you posted this. It had a scratch but it is fine. The people complaining most likely didn't buy it from Motorola, probably opting for the cheaper option. I'm a student so I have free prime (and man i love it!), and this looks like the exact same charger they pack in the atrix box. Even has that 'ECOMOTO' tag.
Verizon stores in wichita are clearing out the tbt accesories. I got a locking suction cup mount for $10. Best money ive spent. I told my wife i needed a new nav system until i used the phone for nav in houston, then i said i just needed a mount. This thing is awesome, car charger plugs in, phone locks in, and car dock comes on when phone inserted. I answer calls, speak texts, and speak to navigation. Its great!

if you're talking about the "official" mount (from iGrip) then yes, it is pretty awesome. It's even better if you mount the dock onto the dash-mount instead. If you clean the area first and then mount it, that thing will never move out of place - I've had mine installed that way since March 17th (when the phone came out) and it hasn't budged at all. I also put a 90 degree adapter on the 3.5mm audio jack and routed the wires behind it (and through the dash board) so it looks really nice - almost as if it came with my car.

Thats the one, i will try thst, although my dash has no flat spots, the wire routing would also be good. Thanks!

Anyone have a recommendation for a mount that would make it possible to record traffic? Reading about the iGrip one suggests it blocks part of the view.
Right now I am considering the following:

(Sorry, new user and can't link yet)
You can reposition the iGrip charger so that it doesn't block any of the camera, I've done it a few times when I felt like recording myself driving for no reason.
Link for the igrip? Don't wanna find wrong one online..

Good Buy!
I bought this from Verizon I am very pleased so far. Its easy to access and can be mounted many ways. You can't beat it for $7.49

Looks like we're finally getting some official accessories from Samsung themselves. And as the article states, it clearly lists compatibility with the Verizon model. Is it too much to hope that the elusive car dock with pogo won't be far behind?
I'm an accessory junkie, but that price is not even close! I don't need to use the 3pin connection that bad.. Damnn..
For a desktop dock that doesn't do a data connection, $40 is my upper limit and even then, it would have to be awesome. My $15 upright dock I found here and picked up from Amazon is still working just fine.

Those have been the rumored prices all along. You're paying for convenience.
I'll be buying both the desk dock and car dock thats for damn sure.
This is the one thing I am quite disppointed in Samsung. The Accessories should have been available when the phone launched. One of the reasons I purchased the phone was for the quick pogo connection, I hate having to plug and unplug usb.
It's a little pricey but I really like the idea of not having to physically connect the usb. I just bought this..

Very happy with it so far, but it does require 2 hands and a bunch of monkeying around. I would like this dock but $89.99 on top of the $20.99 I already spent on the other one makes the whole thing a little expensive.
This dock has a "line out" port on the back, so like the Pogo car dock, I'm guessing it'll be a Bluetooth dock (maybe with autoconfigure with the middle pin of the pogo?)
Must not order..... ordering ..no. yes .... arghhhh
This has got to be a joke - 90USD for a freaking charging dock? Anyone buying this is, with all due respect, a moron. Value your money people.
Pretty crappy if this is truly going to be the price.

Extended battery?
While it does seem expensive, there's not much detail listed. Anyone find any info on the compatibility with the extended battery & cover for the Verizon GN?
*sigh* I miss the time when Google partnered with HTC, made the excellent Nexus One, and launched it along with a pogo-charging, bluetooth-media-connecting desktop dock, which cost $45.
Can't believe this is $90, looks like I am going to buy some legos and build my own
Yea $90 bucks is insane...
Hopefully some aftermarket manufacturers will make a similar dock for a good price...
I wonder if that is just the "Samsung" price. And the actual retail price will be lower?
I pre-ordered the dock for my GSM Galaxy Nexus and it is "only" $60. Which I thought was a bit expensive even at that price.
Hopefully the street price of the CDMA dock is also lower than the suggested Samsung price.
I ordered one yesterday and it will arrive on Monday, probably the most expensive accessory I ever bought. Coming from the Thunderbolt, whose official dock was 50+, it is a lot. However, the constant plugging and unplugging of the Micro USB cable takes a toll or your micro USB port.
I like to keep the phone in good condition, since I usually sale my phones after a year or so to trade up for something new, so I might be able to get $50 for it when I sell it. All in all I need a dock, and I'm tired of waiting for these other stores to start selling. I will probably have to stay off the Starbucks for a couple of weeks to recover that extra cost.

sad, but seems to be true:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D1F8BEBSTD-gallery
I'm under the impression that this dock is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and not the GSM version.
I think I will stick to the vertical one from ebay, at least I can also use my MHL cable out the back of it for when I install Ubuntu
Here £6.99
I could justify a car dock for that price since my car is my office, but there's a difference between justifying it and being willing to pay it. For people that would actually use it every single day for a good amount of time, I can see why someone would pay that much over someone that just wants a dock to charge it on while they're sleeping. It's still pricy though.
At night, I use the plastic dock/holder thing that comes with the Verizon spare battery charging kit. Pop the phone on there, plug a charging cable in, and put it in Clock Mode. It works just fine for me.
$90 is really steep. I know Samsung said that they were waiting on response to decide what accessories to make, but they should have inquired about price point as well. If it's any consolation, prices will come down with time. I guess I understand the business aspect of it, I know that at least the LTE version will probably never be a big seller, but it sucks non-the-less.
