[Galaxy S II Accessories] timby:
I received my order from Export Prive today (the 14th). I ordered it the night of the 8th, so it came pretty quick. It was pretty much right on their estimate.

If anyone's interested, here's a breakdown of the costs from Export Prive compared to Bell:

Export Prive:

1 SSGMHLADGS2 Samsung MHL Adaptor to HDMI Output for Galaxy S II i9100 $33.12

1 SSGVHCLDGS2 Samsung Vehicle Dock for Galaxy S II i9100 $51.02

Sub-Total: $84.13

Shipping via Express Mail Service (EMS): $17.90 (you can save about $5 if you choose a slower shipping method)

Total: $102.03 USD (came to $103.04 on credit card bill due to currency exchange fees)

Bell:

HDTV adapter: $49.95

Samsung vehicle dock (window mount): $49.95

Sub-Total: $99.90

HST: $12.99

Total: $112.89

As you can see, ordering these two accessories from Bell would have cost me more than it did with Export Prive.

I tried out the vehicle dock kit and I like it. It's light weight, yet solid. It comes in two main pieces. There's the arm that has a suction cup for the window / dash, and there's a holder for the phone that can snap to the arm.

To insert the phone, you just pull down the lock (at the bottom), snap the phone in and push the lock back up (which connects the micro USB). This could probably be done with one hand. There's no way the phone will fall out.

To take the phone out, pull down the lock at the bottom, press on the tab at the top and pull the phone out from the top. Most likely this will require two hands, but we'll see after I get used to it. I kept pressing the power / lock button on the phone when trying to take it out, but hopefully that won't be an issue as I adjust the technique I use to take it out.

Once the phone is in the dock, it can be rotated and the angle can be changed. This means that you can have it vertical or horizontal (on on any orientation you want). The angle can be changed so that it's directed more to one side. It's on a ball joint, so it's completely up to you how you want to set it up. There's also a knob on the back that will allow you to adjust the tension.

The phone holder can be removed while the phone's still attached, so if you need to quickly detach it and put it back, it's pretty easy.

When you insert the phone, a few things happen (regardless if you have the lighter apapter plugged in or not):

Care mode is activated. A little steering wheel icon is shown in the status bar at the top to indicate this mode is active. It can be disabled from the notifications window.

The "Voice talk" application is started.

The speakerphone is activated.

Unfortunately, the speaker is on the back of the phone. There is an opening on the holder to allow the sound through, but there's nothing to redirect the sound to the front (maybe the windshield will help, we'll see). I can't see this being loud enough in my car. I'll have to try it out for a couple of days.

There are two ports on the back of the phone holder: one for the speaker line out and one for the micro USB adapter. It comes with a lighter adapter that has a micro USB connector. They've also included a little magnetic clamp that can be used to bunch up any excess cable.

Overall, I'd say it's a well built and thought out vehicle dock kit. It's solid, looks nice, holds the phone really well and automatically puts the phone in car mode. It has a couple of minor issues, such as needing to pull the phone out from where the lock / power button is, and the speaker on the back (which is more of a phone issue than dock issue). I'd say it's also overpriced, but I think it's worth it. I'm happy with it.

I haven't played with the MHL adapter yet. I can't believe Bell is charging $50 for it, though. Even worse is the standard battery from Bell...it costs $89.95!!! I know all of the other accessories are over priced, but that's ridiculous!
