Anyone here recommend a car dock to use with my droid in the car? I hate leaving it on the seat especially when i am using the gps with google maps Thanks...
I use the Car Dock from Verizon for the mount, but I have it attached to my Garmin Friction Mount. It works for me. I can't say if it is better or worse than any other suggestions since it is all I have used. I do think it is an expensive set up to just buy for this, but I already owned the Garmin Friction base from before.
I have both the seido dock and the motorola/verizon dock and while the seido has extra charging ports and is a *bit* more stable it is bulky. The motorola/verizon dock is much slimmer and is easier to pop the Droid in and out of, but if you have a stereo system with subs it will vibrate the Droid and confuse the accelerometer.
Couldn't the phone jump out of the charging dock? Sounds like trouble to me.Got my charging dock from VZW with that 35% off sale. It's really nice. I thought it would be all gloss black, but it's actually got a brushed aluminum top. Very nice. Phone fits in there perfectly and snugly. I put it a little velcro on the bottom and it's sitting on my dash right in front of my wheel for perfect viewing. Works like a CHARM! I don't know why I didn't do it earlier. IMO, better than the cardock because it's not going to fall off my window and really, the only thing that sucks is a strip of velcro on my dash. But it's temporary and velcro is cheap.

I picked up the Motorola car-dock. Quick question about it: I have it stuck on my dash, with the adhesive disc, and I was wondering if there was a way to get more of those if I wanted to change the location? Any one know, or have had success moving it themselves?

Actually, I'm going to give the Charger Dock a try at being the car as well. Don't feel like mounting my precious to the car window with the number of times my GPS has fallen off. I'm thinking velcro on my dash somewhere.
Although my Garmin mount has fallen off the windshield like once a week, I haven't had the Droid mount fall off once. It's a bigger suction cup and seems to be a lot stronger.
I've also never had the phone itself fall out of the mount. Unless you're beating the hell out of the thing, it works great.
I can't express how much I love this. Makes my life 1000 times easier for multitasking in the car. Not too shaky either because most of the joints can be tightened to your liking. I can also flip it to portrait mode if I need to.
Make sure to get it off amazon because the ones VZW sells in stores does NOT have the car charger with it.
The magnet in the dock also flips it in and out of car mode - get "settings profile" and set up a car dock. I have my phone audibly click and a different ringtone (the austin powers ring tone).
Very nice for the $30
