Reviews for Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Works great. Would recommend.

Here's why I am returning this product:

I just bought this from the Apple store

I use my iPhone as my bedside alarm, and to listen to music.

I plugged my speakers into the back of the dock (into the 3.5mm audio output)

When I tried to turn the volume down (whether from my iPhone screen or from the buttons on the side of the iPhone) I could not do so.

In order to control the volume, I HAD to do so from the actual speakers. What's the point?!

I am going to return this item to the store and instead, I am going to buy a universal dock so that I can still control the volume.


BOO!

THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING. I REALLY LIKE IT.

I live in Vermont and currently have spotty reception with AT&T. I bought this dock at the Apple store and noticed that as soon as I dock the phone, I automatically get 5 bars of 3G. I'm not really sure how this works, but I don't even need to plug the dock into a power outlet either. I'm satisfied as long as I'm receiving good signal. Now if only AT&T can provide evidence of having excellent coverage across the nation...like they claim ALL the time.

I bought this product when i bought my mac. It useful but you don't need it. All it does is charge the device standing up, its nothing fantastic, it's for people who are too lazy to use their iphone and hold it in their hand. its nothing fantastic and you don't need it. For 30$ its not worth it

If you can get past the blatant overpricing on this item, then it works great. Holds the phone securely when you put it in (with 3 of these docks around the house I haven't experienced any of the "touch it and get disconnected" problems other people report). As others have noted, it doesn't come with a cable. Be sure to buy a cable, too, if you want a cable, too.

In my view, I think that it is only decent. It charges the iPhone well but if you touch it comes out. This is a problem. It could be easily fixed if it had some sort of adjuster adjust how tight it stays on, but unfortunately it doesn't.

The audio is suprisingly good. Not excellent but good. But if you touch the phone to maybe play music or call someone else it comes out like I said earlier. Once again, a problem. The audio is still pretty good and it would work well if you were on a conference call. But if you are a person who deals with many calls then this is the wrong thing for you.

Another thing is that it is not good as an external dock from your computer and it doesn't work well if you are syncing because, what do you know; it comes out AGAIN! But if you do manage to keep it in; then it works fine!

Some people have not read the box which clearly states that is DOES NOT COME WITH A CABLE. So you can't really say it's apple's fault. Yes, they should of included a cable but they didn't. So we have to get on with and use the other cables. But don't bother because if you do, it won't work anway because it will once again, come out!

Well,
thats my view anyway.

The only reason I purchased this device was because I needed a new cable. I figured that I could just pay the extra money for a dock setup, instead of buying another power brick.
The worst part about all this was that the packaging was big enough to precisely hold a dock and USB cable. Why the wasted packaging space, and the $37.61 for what might as well been a small pointless paper weight. You can buy the cord itself in the online apple store for $19.95 +tax.

A worthless smug upgrade!

The reason I wanted this dock was to not have to lay the iPhone on the desk when it's charging. This dock makes the iPhone stand up and look awesome when it's docked. You can make calls and watch video and use the iPhone when it's docked and I like that. You do have to be aware that you need to be careful not to knock the iPhone over this only applies to the home button and volume button. The touch screen works perfect. Watching video and listening to audio is a snap.

Apple did a good job with this dock and if your expectations are realistic you will enjoy this iphone dock. Sure you may need to get a second cord as some reviews have pointed out but this is a choice that was made by the reviewer. I happen to already have two cords and I also have a desktop USB port connection so I can unplug the dock and take it with me.

I would recommend this dock to all iPhone users because it is a top notch product that works as like it's supposed to. The dock also makes your desk look less cluttered.

Either I wasted my money or I have to send it back. Does NOT work with the HD component cable.
