    Hello.

    I wonder if there is some kind of docking station available where you could place your phone over night for charging. Ebay does not deliver yet.

    It would really be nice not to fiddle around with the usb cable every day...

    not seen one yet - but i keep emailing Powermat in the hope!
    (Maybe powermat + Mugen batteries = a sexy combination too )

    Hmm...Someone grinded in one thread micro usb:s connectors "hooks" off and said that after that the chargers connector slides in and off very easily. Just an idea for self made Docking station

    I think someone could make a lot of money by creating and selling an aftermarket back/extended battery for the N900. What I would want to see in such a product:

    -better integrated stand than offered by official back with multiple snap-to viewing angles. Should be steady enough for unsupported use on a desk with stylus.
    -Should address the camera haze issue caused by the official back.
    -Charging contact points to allow charging with a desktop cradle which would come with the product. This would greatly reduce the prevalence of micro-usb connector breakage which Nokia doesn't seem to want to officially acknowledge & address.

    I would be willing to pay $80-100 for such a product. Anyone with the expertise/contacts to make it happen?

    I like the inbuilt stand!

    A docking station that somehow magic's a USB host onto the n900 would be sweet however...

    As it's hard to compete with chinese products pricing, I think we just have to wait until they come up with a product.

    I'm also looking for that. But not a docking station just for charging. I'm looking for a docking station that lets use the n900 as a desktop computer when arrive at home: conected to TFT screen, keyboard and mouse, speakers, power...

    Just with the video/audio cable included in the box and a bluetooth keyboard/mouse will have this achieved, but with a combo of cables.

    I remember that 3 years ago, in N95 times there was a Nokia bluetooth keyboard (then I haven't bought it because n95 hasn't the PC features that n900 has). I wonder if there's something similar for the N900.

    PS.: it will be also great that phone screen could be disabled to prevent the n900 to become overheated while in intense use with a large screen.

    I don't want to sit at a docking station. I might like a sprawling station...
