Apple iPhone 3G Dock
Longer Please!!
Written by SS from Atherton

Pretty awesome, but for £19 you should get a USB lead with it - I'd pay £25 if it came with another mains adaptor.
No qualms about it not coming in the box - not everybody wants one, but would be great if Apple produced an extra long usb lead - mine goes behind the bed to charge at night but is just not long enough! have had to put yet another extension lead in to accomodate new shiny iPhone.14 of 15 people found this useful

Apple iPhone 3G Dock
Good but could be a lot better very easily.
Written by JL from Rochdale

This is perfect for what it says. It doesn't bother me that it doesn't come with a cable or it wasn't included with the phone. The following two points bother me because I see no reason why they cannot be solved.
1. Make the base a lot heavier. This needs to sit on a desk without being influenced by the weight of the cable. I should be able to lift the phone in and out without moving the dock or needing to hold it down.
2. Make a black one. I understand that a lot of Apple's products are white such as the Apple Macs and some of the iPhone and iPods but you now also do a lot in black. The most popular iPhone colour where I live is black and my iPod touch is also black as are most. It wouldn't cost any more either.
You have a great product, you can make the accessories so much better by watching people use them.75 of 81 people found this useful

Be careful !

Got a protective case on your iPhone ? Then this won't work. You need a UNIVERSAL dock which also comes with a remote. It's an easy mistake to make and even Apple Store Staff get confused. So the 3G Dock has it's limitations so make your choice very carefully.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock
Does not fit
Written by JC from NORTHWOOD

Bought it presuming that my iphone 3G would fit in the dock along with an incase casing around the phone, however it doesn't. As a general dock it is fine but shame they don't specify that it will not fit with a case around.

Should have been provided with the iphone!
Written by AM from BROUGH

Does what it should, great quality, but I am annoyed that it wasn't in the box with my iphone and the price is ridiculous considering that it isn't provided with it's own power adapter or USB cable. Most people don't keep their dock by the computer where they sync their iphone, therefore I'm now going to have to buy another USB cable at the cost of £10 plus p&p because I don't want to be plugging and unplugging one USB cable from one room to another. Why don't Apple just put the price of the phone up and provide these items in the box.
I have only given it 3 stars because of the price and the above issues, the product itself is excellent.56 of 61 people found this useful

Small but important omission; Apple Bluetooth headset owners please read
Written by AG from Tetbury

So I'll start out by agreeing with the comments below. Annoying that the dock's not in the iPhone retail box. A shame that the dock's retail box hasn't got a cable in it. As a dock though, it does what it says on the box.
My little observation that may be of value to others is that you cannot use this with the Bluetooth Travel Cable (aka the sync cable with a charging point for the Apple Bluetooth headset). In the absence of the dual dock for the 3G phone, I had the bright idea to put the headset cable into the dock on the assumption that both the phone and headset would charge. Oh no. Some bright spark has the dock/cable connected in such away that the moment the cable is connected to the dock power to the headset is cut off.
Summary: the only way to charge a 3G iPhone and Apple Bluetooth headset together is to use the cable alone (or take a dremmel to the dual dock for the original iPhone).33 of 38 people found this useful

No USB cable in the box
Written by SW from Cirencester

I bought this to use at work, so I could use the charger that came with it at home. Now I need to buy another USB to ipod cable for £15 pounds including postage, so in the end it costs you £35-40 for a dock and cable. Disappointed.

Hmmm.....

"No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in!" - All very well but there has never been any 'reaching behind the computer to plug it in' before as the iPhone used to come with a dock included!
Anyway, does the job exactly as it should but over the last couple of years apple really has started taking the **** with accessories. The iPod used to come with a charger but that was also removed.31 of 37 people found this useful
