Motorola DROID 2 A955 Multimedia Docking Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't purchase this Multimedia Station Dock from this seller.
I bought it from Verizon Store at the time of DROID 2 purchase.
I just uploaded some photos and as you will see, my "cased" DROID 2 fits into this dock perfectly. However, I HAVE to say, I had a problem fitting my droid onto this dock until couple of hours ago since this dock is somewhat confusing as to how it should be set up.
When I opened the box, I saw only couple parts needed in order to put this dock together. I thought, "how confusing would it be to just build this simple dock!?" and ignored the User Guide. Well, several seconds later after I pulled the dock out of the box, I realized my DROID 2 while its case on will no way fit into this dock base.
I was disappointed and put the dock aside for couple of weeks as I was contemplating on returning it. It seemed a lot of work having have to remove my case every day just to charge (...even for its good looks). I carry my DROID 2 in my purse with other things and carrying it without its case seemed unwise decision (the screen is protected by a screen protector).
So finally I decided to return the dock, and was double checking to see whether I included all the equipment back into the box prior to bring it back to the store. Then I glanced the User Guide and noticed it says (in rather small font) "Use the insert unless you have Motorola protective case on your phone" along with the drawing that suggests there is actually an insert installed onto the dock that you need to remove it if you want to use Droid 2 with the case!
I looked the dock closely to see if there really was such a thing called "insert" that was removable.
Well... there was!
It was fitted onto the dock so perfectly without much gap (though removed fairly easily) and I didn't even notice there was one until then!
Anyhow, I uploaded several photos so I hope they help someone out there.
It is my fault that I didn't take a look at the Users Manual. However, I wish Motorola made the package graphic in a way that was more self-explanatory than how it is now, in addition to stating it on the User Guide (in a larger font).
However, it's a good news if Motorola actually heard and fixed the problem from the previous model (Original DROID multimedia station) by making it compatible with DROID 2 phone while its case on this time.
Just like previous model (and as you can see on my uploaded pictures), this dock WILL NOT WORK with DROID X.
This dock does what's supposed to do (I would say battery recharge takes as much time as you'd recharge it in a usual way).Pros:
- Appearance (Looks good and able to glance at the screen without actually grabbing the phone)
- Compatibility (Fits DROID 2 with or without a case)
- Compactness (Compact enough to take it with me when travel to use it as an alarm stand)
- Durability
