Good Product

Another outstanding product from Apple, but like many others I'm wondering why it wasn't included with the iPhone.
Another issue …Read moreof mine was the fact I couldn't find this dock in any O2 or Carphone Warehouse store near me, and had to end up ordering it.(2 of 2 people found this review useful)

A little disappointed that having bought 2 dual iphone docks for the original iphone and headset I cannot use them with the new 3G…Read more phone, infact unless i use the lead that came with the headset i cannot charge the items together. Why is this Apple? Are we not going to have a dual dock for the new 3G phone?

Apple iPhone 3G Dock
A bit too compact
Written by BD from Grimsby

Overall, this dock does what it says on the tin. However, its dimensions are such that if you have your iPhone in a case, even ju…Read morest a skin, it won't fit in the dock. I have to remove the skin every time. This defeats the object a little as I wanted to play the iPod whilst sat at my desk but then pick the iPhone out of the dock when I go walkabout, without a load of hassle disconnecting audio plugs, etc. I don't have to do that but I do have to put the skin back on to avoid damage whilst the iPhone is in my pocket, so not quite the convenient gadget I envisaged.

Must Have Accessory - Why Wasn't It In The Box, Apple?
Written by FN from FRASERBURGH
14-Jul-2008
At the weekend, I went into town to TRY and find an iPhone 3G which I wanted so much. After much trailing round the various O2 an…Read mored Carphone Warehouse shops I eventually found one... Great!
So, I took it home, opened the box and started having a little rummage around and what did I find? Well... everything apart from a dock. I know how useful these docks can be, my sister owns the first generation iPhone and its serves its purpose as a great little stand for using while at the computer (it saves the back getting scratched too!)
I had to get one. So back into town I went, and (luckily) the Carphone Warehouse had them :) It's a sturdy piece of kit which is deceptively heavy (in a good way) and you won't find yourself worrying about if it is a safe place ti keep your phone.
All-in-all, a must have for iPhone owners... But it should have been included in the box!(193 of 206 people found this review useful)

Apple iPhone 3G Dock
No AV out from this dock
Written by GB from CAMBRIDGE
31-Jul-2008
Warning - I bought one of these and a new Apple Composite AV cable to dock and connect my iPhone to an in-car entertainment system…Read more for audio and video output. The cable on its own works great but the dock BLOCKS both the video and audio outputs from the 30-pin connector on the back so nothing works.
On the Apple website it does say that video output is not supported from this dock, but mentions nothing about blocking the audio from the 30-pin connector too! And neither the store staff nor the packaging told me any of this anyway.
I have no clue why Apple would not just pass through the 30-pin connection from the phone to the back of the dock, but they don't. Apparently the Universal Dock does allow AV through, but then it does block the microphone and speaker on the bottom of the iPhone so it's useless for speakerphone calls - and it will cost me another £10 for another power adapter I don't need (got one with the phone and one with the AV cable so far).
So that's £50 spent on two accessories which don't work together but are both 'compatible' with iPhone 3G, and fail to do the job a £2.99 cable from Maplin would do if Apple hadn't encyrption-protected the AV output on the iPhone.
Not great, and I speak as a long-term Apple fan.(140 of 166 people found this review useful)

Apple iPhone 3G Dock
Useful but should have been included with phone
Written by SW from BIRMINGHAM

It is simple and practical. If you spend large portions of your day in front of a computer then the dock makes perfect sense. When…Read more your iPhone is docked, it is still fully functional and easily viewable at a quick glance (and it will be fully charge when you need it on the go.)
Whilst I personally feel that is should have been included with the iPhone (ala first gen iPhone), I can think of worse thing to spend £19 on. Non essential but highly recommended.(92 of 97 people found this review useful)
