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
Cons:
- Set up was confusingProduct Description:
- Phone automatically launches multimedia mode when placed into station.
- Sit back and relax, watch your movies, listen to your music, see the album's art as
songs cycle through.
- Personalize your home screen while in the station by selecting your favorite widgets

GOgroove Flexsmart X2 Advanced Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Charging, Music Control and Hands-Free Calling Capability for Android, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Smartphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I got the HTC Evo back at the beginning of June I just went to Wal Mart and picked up an FM transmitter there for 50 dollars, but it would only transmit to the radio but not charge the phone. For anyone who has an Evo, you know that the battery life is not good. Plus it had a so much excess wiring. I returned it and bought this off of amazon and it is amazing. It paired within 10 seconds and transmits with barely noticeable no static, transmits far better than the 50 dollar thing I got from Wal-Mart or the FM transmitter I had for my iphone. I put my phone onto pandora, plug in the charger and set it down and if a song comes up I want to skip, I can just hit the forward button on the flexSmart unit which can be easily adjusted to any position for your hand.
I love this thing, its not obtrusive, theres not a ton of excess wiring, just the gooseneck and if you want to charge it simultaneously you can just plug it into the usb port with the included 6 inch wire or use your own. The calls come in clear and great too, just as good as any bluetooth headset.
I highly recommend this if you dont have an auxiliary port in your car stereo, I was considering getting the gomadic one which is only 5 dollars cheapers, but has so much more wiring and the typical inconvenient control module built into the wiring. I'm really glad I got this one, I'm about to drive from DC to Portland and this thing will make the trip much more bearable and its not an eye sore in the car.

Accessory Power FlexSmart Car Mount System for MOTOROLA DROID SmartPhones - Cutting Edge FM Transmitter and Charger with DC Surge Protection and Stabilized Flex-Neck Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This dock is listed as a Droid dock, but as you probably already know (but just in case you don't), it's a generic smartphone dock, the identical dock is also listed under probably every name brand smartphone there is. Not that that's a bad thing, just want to be clear on what to expect.
The construction feels pretty solid, sure it's plastic but that gooseneck thing is nice and sturdy. The one-size-fits-all mechanism is compatible with the Droid, doesn't block any connections or buttons, though the end that says "audio cable" is at the other end from where the Droid's audio jack should go -- fortunately, the plug reaches, so it's no problem. To get it solidly mounted, it takes a pretty hard squeeze - there's a click right before it's solidly in there which will keep the Droid in if it's balanced, but it would fall out easily, so *squeeze* until you get the next click. I find using both hands helps.
The plug fits in the car lighter socket fairly solidly - but it seems a good idea to make sure that the gooseneck is bent and the adjustable arm tightened down so that the phone is balanced over the arm -- especially if you tend to pull a little g-force in turns :). I have only had it in portrait orientation so far, but it seems like it'll be no problem to use either way. EDIT: meh. It doesn't seem to be all that flexible, however, I have it "sort of" landscape. Will take pics & and post here.
You'll probably want the screen not to go to sleep - it's awkward to fumble for the button then unlock the phone, especially since the gripper arms kind of get in the way of doing that full, across-the-screen swipe to unlock -- and it kind of defeats the purpose of making the phone safer and easier to use in the car if you're fumbling. Also, while the lighter-plug mount supports the weight of a phone pretty well, it does move around quite a bit when you apply any sort of hand-force. Tapping the screen is fine, but trying to press the wake-up button, it's not meant to hold it steady for that. I use the Locale app to tell my phone if it's plugged in to keep the screen on (unless I'm at home) so I don't have to change the display timeout every time I get in the car.
Slightly bad thing: when talking on the phone, it comes over the speakers nicely, but the phone can't be in speaker mode, so the person on the other end is hearing you like you're talking with the phone several feet from your face. Luckily the Droid has that awesome call clarity :) You can definitely hear a little static while on calls, but it's not terrible, and the fact you're listening to phone calls over your car stereo makes up for it.
The first time I tried listening to music, I could hardly hear static at all, the second time, I heard a little more - I've never experienced a portable audio device fm-transmitter without a little static. At medium volume it becomes almost unnoticeable, however I'm sure audiophiles would find it very annoying. But audiophiles probably don't use portable audio device fm-transmitters in cars anyway, so no worries. (I have tried it tuned to 88.1, then, tried 100.1, which was less static-y, so, do play with the frequencies, your area will no doubt be different.)
I'll update this review if my experience with this device changes as I use it under different conditions, but as it is I'm happy with my purchase, thrilled to have my whole music collection with me in the car, happy to be able to use the GPS without balancing the phone in the console, and keeping the Droid charged up is never a bad idea :)

Droid X Desktop OEM Charger Multimedia Docking Station with HDMI technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read reviews on the dock and thought it would make a great addition to my accessory collection, I have the car mount and love it. This mount allows me to have a clock by my side of the bed that I can see without having to put on my glasses. It also doubles as an overnight charger, I often forget to charge and the battery is so low in the morning that I often have to limit use while out for the day. It is solid and well made, almost sexy in it's clean styling. If you are in doubt about purchasing, don't think about it anymore, BUY IT NOW!!!! It will be well worth it.

Motorola DROID 1st Generation Vehicle Dock with Rapid Car Charger (Retail Packaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best car mount available for the Droid. It securely holds the phone in place and it's incredibly fast and easy to dock and undock -- you don't have to make any cumbersome adjustments or worry about accidentally pressing a button (sliding-arm one-size-fits-all mounts can trigger the camera button.) It can mount on the dash or windshield, rotates to support both horizontal and vertical orientations, and it has a magnet to trigger "car mode". It even allows access to the slide-out keyboard. The cheaper generic mounts just don't compare.
Why 4 stars? Well, If I had to say one bad thing about the mount, it's that you still have to plug the phone in to a USB car charger. It would be nice if you could plug in the dock instead, but it's a minor issue. The port on the phone is still easy to access.
Well worth the $30.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think I may have found the first hands free device for the BlackBerry... (I'm sure it's not the first, but I sure as heck cound't find one anywhere else). NY's finest love giving new "hands free" tickets for talking on your cell phone. I can finally remove this silly bluetooth headset and talks hands free with my BB!
Sound quality is pretty good compared to what I've heard on other FM transmitters. It's not as good as the quality I've heard with friends who have line-in plugs for their Iphones, but accptable nonetheless. No static, yet.
Setup is easy. Plug it in to the 12v outlet and tune the radio station to match what you set on the connector dock. My buddy had to give me a hand with the programming, but it wasn't really that hard. It would be nice if somehow there were less cables floating around the device! but I'm content with the fact it allows me to talk hands free and it even charges too! Maybe now I can try Pandora again? I tried it earlier, but it ate too much battery. I can follow up with the results soon.
