Samsung Galaxy S i897 Desktop Dock

This Desktop Docking Station is the original OEM Samsung model. I have seen a lot of cheap knock-offs that look almost identical but when you try to use them, they perform poorly or do not work at all. Not the case with this one. This is exactly what's pictured/described. It arrived in the original Samsung packaging.

If you're looking for a great Desktop Dock for your Captivate This is IT! This is the real thing, not a cheap junk imposter trying to charge near-OEM prices. It costs less than directly from Samsung, and it's REAL!

Pro:

* Works great

* Inexpensive (available on-line for less than $25)

* I love the Desk Home app (works even better on Android 2.2)

Con:

* Still cannot "sync" while sitting in the dock

This is my second dock. I have one for work and the other on my night stand. Turns my most useful device (my phone) into a reliable alarm clock. Would recommend to anyone. Only issue is the I have not bee able to get the speaker output in the back to work.

Pros it fits the captivate well, charges the phone, and the desktop app is functional, defaulting to a clock. If you use your alarm, it turns the captivate into a nice bedside alarm clock.

Consvery few options. NO DATA SYNC WITH USB. ALWAYS defaults to Home Dock App unable to default to car home app (this dock would have worked perfectly in my car with velcro if the app wasn't such a pita to setup by the time you exit the home dock app.)

Way too much static in the line out (so much that it's basically pointless having the feature). Also, the stand doesn't integrate well with the phone one must disable the speaker in the "Desk Home" app (AND, in some cases turn the media volume off to get the phone to actually shut up so that only the line-out on the back of the stand is producing static...err, I mean sound). Intuitive, huh?

Overall quite disappointed...so much the product ought to be pulled until the kinks have been worked out.

But to be fair, not all is bad. On a positive note, it does charge the phone decently well...I suppose it could be a fairly decent solution for a night stand/alarm clock arrangement. Aside from that, I've found the stand to be largely useless...
