I bought the product to use with my Blackberry Curve 8350i phone. I wanted to utilize the hands free feature so that when I am using my GPS I can observe the map feature without holding my phone in one hand and driving with the other. I was also interested in utilizing the radio feature on this product.
Upon receiving the product I discovered that the phone jack was a 3.5mm type. My phone has a 2.5mm jack. I then had to order an adapter. Once I got it I discovered another problem with the unit. The phone jack doesn't quite match up inside the phone. If I inserted it all the way into my phone the signal to my car radio was only a buzzing sound. I had to gently maneuver the phone jack in and out to find the right position to transmit my audio from phone to car radio. Then in the process of making this adjustment it would cause my Blackberry to lock up. I would have to remove my phone battery and reinsert it to get my phone to reboot.
I resigned myself to the fact that I could not use this product to listen to my phone through my car radio. I was still interested in using it as a phone cradle and its cigarette lighter phone charging feature. Last weekend I took a trip in my Ford Explorer hoping to try out my new phone cradle. I got my second disappointment. Once on the road the road vibrations cause the cradle to spin from and upright position to an upside down position dumping my Blackberry out of the cradle. I guess in order to make this work properly I'll need to zip tie it to the dashboard to make it stay in an upright position.
The charging feature of the product works fine.
I am not sure I would recommend this product for those who have a Blackberry Curve 8350i phone and a Ford Explorer. As for me it was a waste of money.

what you see is what you get. The product has a universal AUX cable coming out from the bottem of the dock which can be used in any cellphone with a headphone jack. The USB port on the right side facing you is for charging your device. It comes with both Micro and Mini USB cables but you can use whatever cable you have in your possession. Depending on were your cigarette lighter is located in your car you can't really have this device point straight up. If you take a turn and the dock is vertical it will tip left or right, however this is if your lighter is on your dash instead of your console. Audio is alright depending on if you find that sweet spot in the FM dial. It's big enough for the Epic 4g however EVO owners shouldn't gamble on this. For all other phone owners this is a nice Car dock in a iphone run market. If you want anything close to this it will be in peaces instead of one unit.
PROS: All in one design, universal, stylish
Cons: Will tip if vertical depending on location of lighter plugin. FM tuners need a sit down session to find the right station to sync.
I rate it 5 stars because it's the best a non iphone user can get depending on the phone and the accessory support from the main company and other companies. The tip is a problem, but I can't blame the product when it's just were the lighter is in my car. My friend has the same model, but he owns a VW were the lighter is were the emergency brake is so he have it vertical with no problems.
UPDATE***
Well mine just broke. I have theory as to why, but I wont list them because while mine broke my friend's is still working. I'll strongly recommend you to logically look at were your cigarette port is located because this thing is very top heavy.
