Google shipped my Nexus One Dock two days ago and it arrived this morning, even though I picked the free ground shipping. I&#8217;ll give them credit for the shopping experience &#8212; it was seamless and obviously the delivery was quick; on a Saturday morning, no less! The dock has a very minimal look and feel, which is good and bad. You&#8217;ll see why in the video &#8212; I&#8217;m not convinced the metal interfaces between dock and handset work consistently.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the\u00a0price question &#8212; is it worth $45? That&#8217;s a personal decision of course, but keep in mind that the dock includes a duplicate phone charger for the phone; so you&#8217;re getting both a dock and second charger.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-55583\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/smartphones\" title=\"Smartphones\">Smartphones<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/02\/nokia-might-have-perfect-timing-with-new-symbian-versions\/\">Nokia Might Have Perfect Timing With New Symbian&nbsp;Versions<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/02\/logitech-touchmouse-app-controls-your-pc-or-mac-with-the-iphone\/\">Logitech TouchMouse App Controls Your PC or Mac With the&nbsp;iPhone<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/02\/is-real-world-fragmentation-holding-back-augmented-reality\/\">Is Real-world Fragmentation Holding Back Augmented&nbsp;Reality?<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/02\/sony-ericsson-aspen-launched-first-phone-with-windows-mobile-6-5-3\/\">Sony Ericsson Aspen Launched &#8212; First Phone with Windows Mobile&nbsp;6.5.3<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s that wireless Bluetooth functionality to pipe music from the phone to external speakers that you provide. I initially wondered why Bluetooth would be used, but now I see why &#8212; without a USB interface between phone and dock, there&#8217;s no other way to get data or music between the two. About that Bluetooth &#8212; there&#8217;s a limitation\u00a0that I didn&#8217;t expect. \u00a0I really like the &#8220;night mode&#8221; however &#8212; although I didn&#8217;t show it in the video, the phone displays the time in an old-school, green alarm clock color that&#8217;s not too bright.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: The dock actually <em>is<\/em> capable of streaming Bluetooth audio when the phone isn&#8217;t in the dock.
