Whether you’re sat at your desk or spend all day in the car, the easiest and most accessible place to keep your HTC Desire<\/a> is in a Cradle. As well as holding your phone securely, most cradles can charge your phone and synchronise your contacts, photo’s music and videos.<\/p>\n

There are two types of cradle available for the Desire, Desk Cradles<\/a> and Car Cradles<\/a>. To give you a better idea on what’s available, here are some of our top selling HTC Desire Cradles. More are expected in the next few weeks and we’ll update this post with any new ones as and when they arrive.<\/p>\n

HTC Desire Desk Cradles<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Desk Cradles provide an easy and convenient way to charge and sync your phone.<\/p>\n

HTC Desire Desktop Charging Cradle<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This is a simple and effective desktop sync and charge cradle for the HTC Desire. Simply plug it into a spare USB port on your PC or Laptop and place your phone in it to start charging. The phone will sync with your contacts, photo’s and video’s as soon as it’s docked, or you can manually sync it using the HTC Sync application if you’re using Windows.<\/p>\n

If you’re using a Mac and you want to sync your music from iTunes, you’ll need to install some extra software. Our blog post on syncing your phone with iTunes<\/a> talks you through what you need to do.<\/p>\n

HTC Desire Dual Desktop Charging Cradle<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re a power user and have to carry a spare battery around with you in order to make it through the day, then this is the cradle for you. Not only will it keep your HTC Desire charged while you’re at your desk, it will also charge a second battery. If you’re already using two batteries, I’m sure you agree that it’s really quite a challenge to keep\u00a0both batteries charged and ready to use.<\/p>\n

HTC Desire Car Cradles<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Car Cradles for the HTC Desire don’t do quite as much as their desktop counterparts, but that doesn’t make them any less necessary. They’re the only way that you can safely and legally use your phone in the car and as the HTC Desire now has free turn-by-turn Sat Nav built in to it, you’re going to want to have your phone easily accessible.<\/p>\n

HTC Desire Car Pack<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The HTC Desire Car Pack is the most popular in car holder for the HTC Desire. It features a sturdy, adjustable arm with a moulded cradle that’s been created especially for the Desire. It rotates quickly and easily from portrait to landscape mode making it a great choice for all Sat Nav users.<\/p>\n

If you’ve used Sat Nav on your Desire already you’ll have noticed that it’s quite a drain on the battery, so for that reason, the HTC Desire Car Pack<\/a> also includes a HTC CC C200 Car Charger<\/a><\/p>\n

Brodit Passive Holder With Tilt Swivel – HTC Desire<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don’t want a holder that sticks to your windscreen or doesn’t obscure your view of the road, then you’d be better off with a Brodit Holder. These are strong ABS plastic holders that are moulded specifically for the HTC Desire. They have a tilting\/rotating base that allows you to easily adjust the cradle to a suitable position while your driving, and switch between portrait and landscape mode.<\/p>\n

Brodit Holders are designed to be screwed to your dashboard, but as most people are reluctant to do that, Brodit have also introduced ProClips. These are plastic brackets that clip on to your dashboard without damaging it and provide a firm base for you to screw the Brodit Holder on to. Brodit Active Holders<\/a> are also available – these are exactly the same items, but have a car charger built in to them.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s still early days for HTC Desire Accessories<\/a> and the range is still growing. Hopefully we’ll see a HTC branded desk cradle and car cradle make an appearance in the coming weeks, If we do, I’ll update this post with details.<\/p>\n\n\n
