Its ok. Worth it? No. Good to have? Yes.

I find the dock to be stupidly designed. The phone has to be put in just the right way for the contacts to touch. Theres the smallest lip for the phone catch into. If you dont catch it the right way, the phone slips right out.

I agree with this. It is sometimes slightly difficult and annoying to get the phone into the dock. Sometimes the phone will even start charging and then all on its own decide that the contacts aren't lined up and stop charging. I'll put up with the dock for now since I shelled out the money for it but i wouldn't have bought it had i had the chance to "test drive" it first.

I have the dock and like it. Ya, you gotta watch the charge LED to make sure it's touching properly and it almost always is for me.

The one thing that disappoints me is that the trackball doesn't blink continually when there are notifications. It'll blink once but that's it and when the screensaver kicks in, you can't tell if there are messages or not. A blinking ball would be nice in case you miss the initial indication.

I'll give you $20 for it :)
