This dock doesn't hold anything but the phone, so unfortunately no. I have heard that a different dock may include a charging port for a second battery, but have no confirmation of that.

I am planning to get an extra battery, does the dock allow charging of the battery without being inserted into the phone?

I consider this dock to be an amazing deal. I can’t possibly imagine how anyone who actually WANTS the bluetooth streaming can consider this to be a bad deal.

Look at an alternative device to do the bluetooth streaming:

Bluetooth Stereo Gateway DC800 Bluetooth Adapter for Home Stereo

I have one of these and use it all the time… that’s $60 bucks! Not a dock, charger or anything, just a bluetooth hub…

good buy if you ask me on the nexus dock. I <3 mine.

You can stream through bluetooth even when the n1 is not on the dock. You just have to have the bluetooth on (bluetooth turns off when you take it out of the dock unless you have it on by default. I know most users have it off on default to save battery) and make sure that you connect to the dock under bluetooth settings. So yes, you can surf the web and listen to music on speakers streaming via bluetooth.

I manually turn off the trackball notifications each night before docking the phone. It would be nice if the dock had a setting for that, or if it does, I've overlooked it.

I'm thinking about getting this dock for docking my phone every night next to my bed. One question though, does the trackball still light up when in docked mode? I actually have to put my phone in that sleeve that it came with every night to prevent getting woken up by the extremely bright (at night) trackball notification thing.

I don't want to have to shut off lighting of the trackball as I love that feature during the day.

I'm not sure how Josesxi can possibly think you did a bad review. You demonstrated each problem you noticed right on video.

As it turns out after watching the second review, the fact that the audio stops through bluetooth is likely just a design decision as they want you to explicitly set your preferences up to have it stream through the bluetooth when off the dock. However, I think that doesn't match users expectations very well. It seems if docking the phone makes a bluetooth connection for audio, that connection should persist until you go out of range and stay disconnected until docking again -- that would have made it much easier for users to understand.

20 bucks is what a dock should cost no matter what! how do you justify a 50 dollar dock. Did you get an "official" droid dock is that why it was 20 bucks or is that what they run?
