Sorry this is way late Daniel, but I never actually tried it with the N1 dock. I didn't realize it would give you the choice what to do. Very cool.
I did want to let you know about some weird problems I have (and you might be aware of this). Some mornings when I unplug the phone, the screen flashes on, and then right back off. I've had to restart the phone a couple times. I'm 99% sure this is due to the last three options for running it automatically, unlocking automatically, and whatever the other one is. (whether it is all of them, or just one two, not sure) I've turned them all off now, so we'll see how things go. This is probably just an android 2.1 problem, which I think you already knew about, but wanted to make sure.
The other strange thing is that sometimes the brightness doesn't return to normal when I exit bedside. If I start an app or tap my brightness widget, it immediately pops back to what it should be.
Thanks Daniel. I know you'll get to stuff whenever you've got the chance. Appreciate it.
