Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / December 2006Docking Stations
Has anyone had a good or bad experiences with any of the docking stations? Just a general question... as far as I can see, the only real benefit of a docking station is the potentially greater "comfort" of using a standard handset rather than your cell phone handset. Do I have that right? Or are there other benefits? -Frank > Has anyone had a good or bad experiences with any of the docking stations? >Has anyone had a good or bad experiences with any of the docking stations?

Yeah, that was my question too. From what I've researched, it's all about the "comfort" of holding a standard handset rather than a cell phone handset. I dunno... maybe there is more to it. I don't mind the cell phone handset. I suppose, for example, a regular handset might allow features that your cell phone doesn't. Or, maybe have a better speakerphone or something. Again... I dunno... -Frank >>Probably for a cell phone, since this is a cell phone ng. :) >> >>-Frank >> > I understood that part but what do you need a docking station for? It connects the cell phone to you house wiring via a cable or bluetooth connection & allows all phones in the house to use the cell line. The unit also rings all the phones in the house. You can also locate the cell phone at the best location for signal reception....of course their write up make it sound just great & I was looking for some first hand experiences. Considering the cost of these buggers... almost 200 bucks, (https://www.smarthome.com/50611.html), I would recommend opting for a Cell Repeater Amplifier. That's what I use. Now I can just carry my cell phone with me around the house and don't have to worry about leaving it in a "good signal" area all day long :) I am happy with this unit... http://www.digitalantenna.com/prods/cellbooster_4KSBR-50U_smallbuildingrepeater.html Way cool ($395). -Frank >>>Probably for a cell phone, since this is a cell phone ng. :) >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > at the best location for signal reception....of course their write up make > it sound just great & I was looking for some first hand experiences. >>Has anyone had a good or bad experiences with any of the docking stations? >> > Docking stations for what? So you can hear it ring at the other end of the house and answer it without having to run. >>>Has anyone had a good or bad experiences with any of the docking stations? >>> >> Docking stations for what? > > So you can hear it ring at the other end of the house and answer it >without having to run. So why don't you have the phone with you in the first place? Thought that was one of the ideas behind having a cell phone! I don't know what other people do but I take my phone off my belt and put in on the charger when I get in the door. I don't want to have to carry a phone with me around the house just so I won't miss calls. I have a Moto 325 and if I could find a docking station for it I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

On most Motorola's, if not all, you have to connect both a charging cable and an audio cable. I found I often had to reboot the device and the phone to keep it working (with a T720 and V710 Moto). I currently use a Cellsocket and had a Cidco Cellmerge, but neither is available now. Both work better than the Dock n'Talk, though I plan to get the Bluetooth module for it in hopes that will cure the issues with connecting the audio. I'm about to move to a Treo, and they don't have a cable for it. >I don't know what other people do but I take my phone off my belt and put >in on the charger when I get in the door.

Oh yeah, I forgot my fusion battery that never needs charging, that's it. |
