GREAT LITTLE DOCK!!!

Written by CM from HAMILTON HILL

Aug 9, 2008

Well i was abit scared to buy this product! =]
I've read so many reviews which aren't very good but i found some really aren't true!
This product is smaller than what it looks in the Picture.
It is neat and petite!
The only thing i cannot stand about this dock is that i can't wear my Silicone case! =[
All well... =]
Great product, i highly recommend it! =]

Cable comes with iPhone

Written by CA from Huntsville

Aug 7, 2008

Great product as expected. This review is for those not smart enough to look at what is provided with the iPhone and the dock. Page 3 of the dock manual tells you that the cable came with the iPhone.

Must Have!!!

Written by RL from Thornhill

Aug 5, 2008

You can use this stand as a alarm clock, u can shut off alarm (slide off) one hand with the stand instead of use one hand to hold the phone and other hand to shut off alarm.

and it won't scatch the phone too!

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

If you have pets

Written by RO from Cedar Rapids

Aug 4, 2008

This is a must have if you have pets that ever knock over a glass of water or some such. Leaving your iPhone laying flat on a surface is not safe. My cat has knocked over more glasses and soda cans than I can count, and usually my iPhone is near me and my drink. Shell out the $30 and keep your phone dry. It is too bad (s u c k s apparently is a no-no word) that the new 3G doesn't fit in my dock that came with the original 2G.

Works fine but should've come with the cable!!!

Written by MP from Folsom

Aug 4, 2008

Works just fine. I was obviously willing to pay extra for the dock, but come on - Apple could have provided the cable with this accessory!!! Instead, whenever I want to undock my phone and take it with me as I travel for business, I've got to also unplug the USB cable. This being my first Apple product (yes, go figure), I'm a little disappointed in Apple's obvious tactics to sucker their devoted consumers to shell out even more money. More phone for half the price? Sure it is.....

This is a nice accessory for the Iphone 3G. But seriously, shouldn't it have come with the phone?

Doesn't work with my 3G iPhone.

Written by BH from philadelphia

Jul 31, 2008

I got the dock, plugged my 3G iPhone into it and it said something to the effect of "This accessory is not made for the iPhone, would you like to turn on Airplane mode?"

No, I don't want to turn on Airplane mode. Is there a "Work as you're supposed to" mode? I'd like to turn that on.

Just Works!

Written by LH from LAND O LAKES

This dock works fine-It is weighted properly and I don't think there is a problem with the Iphone tipping over unless you take a swipe at it! The phone fits snugly enough and does what it is supposed to do......charge......only down side I see is "No cable included".....wonder what marketing genius decided to trade a cable for "bad PR"?

Very Nice

Written by EB from Desert Hot Springs

This is a nice dock to have. The iPhone fits perfectly, and it helps keeps scratches off your phone. But for the price I wish they would include an USB cord, and a power adapter.

The iPhone 3G Dock comes with a USB power adapter

Written by DA from Phoenix

Jul 28, 2008

Apple provides a USB power adapter for the iPhone 3G. This 3G Dock is an extra. Get over it people. The 3G Dock is a luxury, so why should a luxury item be given away for free? Besides, it is redesigned to better fit the shape of the 3G and provide for better sound. Maybe the people complaining should just not own a cell phone. With all the quarters they are saving, they can just go find a pay phone.

THE BOTTOM LINE... If you need a charger for work and can afford the price, the 3G Dock rocks and will look GREAT on your desk or cubicle.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Good Product, But Should Have Been Included in the Box!!

Written by RA from San Clemente

Jul 26, 2008

This is great to have for any iPhone 3G owner, but Apple should have supplied one in the box the iPhone 3G. Really disappointed in them for this. With the V1 iPhone you got an extra wall adapter, USB cable, and the dock at this same price. Now they're making you buy an extra adapter and cable seperate. All products are overpriced, if you're looking to save money, shop around. Apple's really ripping people off this time around.

Written by JG from Salida

Jul 24, 2008

I had to have it! I couldnt stand having my iPhone just on the top of my drawer as if it were just another crumby phone, so I had to buy the dock and I have to say I love it! I know theres not much you can do with it but my phone looks BEAUTIFUL on it (not as if it didnt look beautiful without it!)! :)

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

More Angle

Written by JO from Chino Hills

Jul 23, 2008

I like the dock but one modification would make it even better. I would like to see more of angle to the phone when it is in the dock so I can work with it better at my desk without taking it out of the dock. I had a palm device which has the perfect dock angle. I would never change back but it would be nice to tilt the dock back about 30 degrees.

Greed at its finest

Written by RK from San Diego

Jul 23, 2008

What a worthless piece of plastic this is. It doesn't come with the cable to hook it to your computer, so you have to spend another $19 for the cable. Oh sure, I can use the one that came with my iphone, but then I won't have an extra one at home. This is just outright greed, a cable costs 50 cents to make and they could have included it. I'm loosing all my respect for Apple.

It's okay...

Written by AW from Frisco

Jul 22, 2008

For JUST the dock, it's perfect. It charges the phone, which is all it's advertised to do. I was really excited to open up the original iPhone box and get a dock too. And ever since I heard that my original iPhone dock didn't work with the new one, I've been very upset. It's stupid that they charge $30 just for the dock that they force you to buy if you like docks by (probably) deliberately designing to phone NOT to fit the old one.

No Plug, No Cable, No Firewire Charging, but Pretty.

Written by JB from Saint Charles

Jul 22, 2008

I bought one of these because it wouldn't fit in the original iPhone's dock. I travel a lot, and keep the iPhone's cable & plug in my suitcase, so I like to have a dock as a charger while at home. Things to keep in mind if considering buying this...

1) It does NOT come with a cable or plug, so you will need to purchase those separately.

2) I had many previous iPod models, and have been using the Firewire cable from those to run from the wall plug to the dock. (Power only, not using it to sync.) This worked great for iPhone, ver.1. iPhone 3G will NOT charge from a firewire cable!

3) Does not support the Apple Remote like the Universal Dock does, so if you connect the line-out port to the dock, you cannot use a remote.

So just a word of caution, if you use the included plug for travel and would like a separate desk/home charger you will need to purchase a separate USB iPhone cable and USB power plug. This dock does not come with them, nor does it support previous iPod/dock firewire power.

Wish It Came with iPhone, But There's a "Solution"

Written by JM from NEWHALL

Jul 22, 2008

I had become very accostumed to using the dock with my first iPhone, and was surprised to not find one with the 3G. Since I also have an Apple bluetooth, I have the dual dock also. When I sold my original iPhone I also gave the original dock, but still have the dual dock. So what would I do with this precious (but now obsolete) device? I shaved the inside edges of the dual dock to accomodate my iPhone 3G! (cheapskate that I am). It works fine and I have one of the first iPhone 3G dual docks. You can do the same with your regular iPhone dock if you dare (and want to save $30).
