Google Nexus One Car Dock – First Thoughts
I just got my Car Dock from google. I haven’t had time to really do a full review, but I can at least share a few pictures and my initial thoughts.
First, same cool packaging as the Nexus One itself. Nice touch.
Second, the build quality seems pretty solid. Some of the universal mounts feel like cheap crap, this one at least feels fairly solid.
The dock uses the same USB connector as the phone, which is a nice touch. This means you can use the adapter to charge the phone, even if you don’t want to dock it.
Windshield suction cup mount appears to be solid, I’ve only had it up there for a few hours though, the next few days of temperature changes will be the real test.
And my first complaint: The voice navigation is so quiet using the built in speaker, it’s utterly worthless, might as well just turn it off and look at the picture unless there’s a fix. Odd, because the speakerphone seems to be fine for phone calls. No idea. I’ll go take some pics of the phone mounted in the dock in a few, charging my camera.
