Sleek Cradle for Nighttime Charging

PostedSeptember 22, 2010

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedSeptember 22, 2010

"This dock works great with my Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (i500) from Verizon. It came with a wall charger that plugs into the back of the dock. Now I can use my phone as a bedside alarm clock as it recharges overnight. Let's the phone sit horizontally at an ideal angle. The phone I got rid of was the Droid 2, and its dock reclined at too great an angle. This is a great buy for the Galaxy S Fascinate phone. I am considering a second dock for my desk at work, too."

Pros: Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedFebruary 24, 2011

"This has been a great add on since I brought my phone and its even better since I can use it as an alarm clock and bedside radio. Wish I had more options on the screen to chose from but other then that who can offer more? No body. Get your own and enjoy!"

Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color

PostedOctober 11, 2010

"I like the product just fine. I purchased it as an accessory when I purchased my Fascinated. I would recommended a few changes to the design though. This would apply to the car dock as well. One make it so the phone does not have to be removed from a protective case to be placed in the dock. I use a snap on single piece cover and have to remove it to place it in the docking stations. Not hard just inconvienent. Two if your going to offer an extended life battery then the accessories should accommodate that as well. Other then some small design changes I like the applience very well. Thank you for the products."

PostedApril 23, 2012

"This desk dock was good but could have been better. It blocked off the 3.5mm head phone jack."

First accessory I purchased for my I500

desktop dock not fully functional

PostedDecember 29, 2010

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedDecember 29, 2010

"I am disappointed, one selling feature for this phone was the output jack on the dock. Yeah, not selling a point for the dock, but for the phone. I wanted it so I could use my headphones at work and have the phone charging in the dock.

It doesnt work and wont until...IF... Android 2.2 is made available for my Fascinate. The phone/dock salesman said nothing about this.

And the apps/icons at the bottom of the desktop screen are nice...but I only ever use one of them...music. They should be customizable with the other apps on my phone. At least email and browser.

The desktop screen does look nice...but at the moment is really just a pretty clock on my desk. I want it to be fully-functional. That's what I paid for.

I clicked 'would not recommend this to a friend.' However I would if the headphone output jack on the dock worked. Where is the Android 2.2 update for Fascinate?!"

Pros: Bright display

Cons: Did not meet expectations, not fully functional or customizable

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedNovember 4, 2010

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedNovember 4, 2010

"You must take your phone out of the case (not easy with mine) in order to dock it. The speaker jack won't work until an Android 2.2 version update is available for Samsung. Cheap remedy -- leave it in the case, set it in a small, hard eyeglass case, put something between the back and the case to get the viewing angle needed, and presto all problems solved for free. You can use your regular charger and use the earphone jack for a speaker. I like the Galaxy S itself, by the way, in spite of the fixable bugs."

Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight

Cons: Did not meet expectations

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Redesign It!

PostedOctober 28, 2010

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedOctober 28, 2010

"This product needs to be redesigned so it will work with a phone with an extended battery. Also the headphone jack does not work yet since Android 2.2 is still not out for this phone. Probably the last to be upgraded."

Cons: Did not meet expectations, needs to be redesigned

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Dock Design Turns Down Ringer Volume

PostedOctober 12, 2010

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedOctober 12, 2010

"I'm disappointed in this cradle / dock when used with my Sprint Samsung Epic 4G. When the phone is placed on it's side in the cradle for connection / charging, the ringer volume buttons rest against the base of the cradle and under the phone's own weight often turns the ringer down or completely off. Not well thought out."

Great Phone, Poorly Designed Dock

PostedOctober 11, 2010

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedOctober 11, 2010

"The dock is a great idea, but with the Galaxy S the volume keys sit on the dock. One touch, even a stiff wind, and the volume adjusts itself. You can use the keyboard to readjust the volume as directions suggest, but try to touch the screen to pause video... close the keyboard... select another video... sneeze and it shoots all the way up or all the way down. Makes the dock useless for anything but a nifty charger and even then only if you don't care what the volume level is set to."

Cons: Did not meet expectations

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
