I have been waiting and waiting for the Nexus One car dock to come out, I must say though, now its out, I am VERY disapointed.
Reason A: you can't use a bluetooth headset when docked! This is a CAR dock, right?!?!?!? I don't want to use it as a speakerphone while docked, I want to use my handsfree bluetooth. I hope there is a way to turn this off, but it doesn't appear this way.
Reason B: I think $55 is excessive... way too much for this dock. More reasonable would be $25-30 max, like the car dock for the droid. I had paid the $45 for the desktop dock when I purchased my Nexus One, and I must say that dock is in no way worth the $45 price tag. That too, should be no more than $25-30 max. $20 would be more like it though.
I guess its time to start shopping aftermarket car docks for my awesome new phone. Any suggestions?
Guess I got some shopping around to do. The thing I don’t understand, they added in a built-in speaker, cool to be able to listen to your music, but being that it’s a CAR Dock, why not instead just add an FM transmitter to listen through your stereo, much better than stupid little built in speakers… and two, being a dock, it is physically attached to the unit, why not use a headphone jack on a cable to connect… but instead they connect the phone to the dock via bluetooth when inserted, so you can’t even use your bluetooth headset when docked… makes NO sense… so annoying. That engineer/designer needs to be reprimanded!
