Just got my N1 car dock last night. Here's what I'm seeing.
Issue #1
Car home/Google Maps does not stay active and the screen times out. I use google maps with the traffic layer, I'd like to have it stay on while I am driving to work. Since I am plugged in, this should be possible somehow. Maybe there's a problem with keeping the phone on all the time? I don't see why - my desktop dock shows a slideshow or time for hours at a time.
Issue #2
When making a call from car dock, speakerphone doesn't automatically enable. Not sure why, seems like it should know this and you would always be in speakerphone mode when you are in the car dock. One more click then I should have to make.
Issue #3
No landscape mode for phone app. This is more of an annoyance than anything but seems like they should fix this.
Issue #4
If I want to make a call while driving, I have to click the power button on the top, unlock the phone, click voice search, and then it works. This is too many steps. Would be resolved if car home just stayed active while I am driving.
Issue #5
The dock falls off when attaching to the windshield. May be weather, moisture related. In any case, I've attached to the dash, which is more secure but less visible.
Issue #6
Launching Pandora or Google listen while driving is too difficult. I have to click to my home screen (which is always in portrait mode), flip to the right place, then launch. I'd rather be able to customize the car home screen and include a few more buttons for commonly used apps.
