Desktop Charger/Docking Station and other fun accessories...

Hi, new user to both the forum and the N80, so I'll try not to appear too naive.

I am now the proud owner of a N80, and as with any new toy, am rapidly spunking out money on accessories. I'm looking for a decent desktop charger/docking station for the phone, ideally one that handles data transfer as well as just charging. I have seen the twin chargers available on ebay, but they seemed a bit, well...cheap and was wondering what experience you guys had had of them.

I also found these two beauties on Amazon, but again wondered if you guys had any experience/advice to offer on them:

amazon.co.uk/Professional-Multimedia-Speaker-Charging-Docking/dp/B000LXLP7I

amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline-Speaker-Charger-Generation-Ericsson/dp/B000M9JVAE

and, if you lot are feeling generous enough with the advice to recommend any other "must have" accessories, my ears (and wallet) are open. I've currently got the 'crystal case' which is great, but scratches so easily! Maybe a case/wallet with room for a couple of memory cards? I keep googling but all I seem to find are Krussel cases, or Bodyglove.

Thanks in advance, and for your patience in reading all that drivel.

There is the Nokia Accessories Page
http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4221246 - UK Link

It's got some nice stuff, some desk stands, but none with data transfer for the N80 unfortunately.

I did see once - although I can't find it now - a white Nokia charger with retractable lead. It was a UK 3pin too unlike the ones in the site there (which seem to be European, even though its the UK page), so I don't know where it has gone, but it was about £15 and since my cable is pretty temperamental, I am really looking to buy one.

i just got the desktop charger from ebay but from honk kong, so will take a bit, post in a week time and i'll remember to give you the feedback. i personally have the bt keyboard, which is quite usefull if you email over wifi as the t9 is good enough for a sms but painfull for an email message. it's great.

Satello, yeah some feedback on that deskstand would be great.

I hadn't thought about the BT keyboard....that's a great idea, specially as my fat fingers can struggle sometimes with the keypad.
