I have to say that I like the Droid a lot, but the “multimedia” station is a tragic attempt at what was supposed to be a good idea. Awful quality reminds you of the days when Moto thought that good design and lousy product quality would carry the day. Do not spend your hard earned dollars on a product that makes your phone crash every time you dock it in. Later on, when you realize that you can return it but the shipping fee is not coming back it will be simply be a sad day. Trash, garbage, crap and other choice words come to mind when thinking of this product.

I was pretty bummed when i received my docking station, The phone does not fit if you have any type of shell/cover for your phone. You’d have to take it on and off every time u wanted to use this.
LAME.

Essentially this is a $40 weighted plastic base with a USB extension cord and a magnet in it so the Droid will go into dock-mode. Being that it doesn’t have any sort of other media connections other than USB, I’d hardly call it multimedia – In fact I consider it fase advertising. I’d happily pay $15-25 for this, but after spending $40, I’m completely disappointed.
My original iphone came with a comparable dock in the box – not at an extra cost – and a replacement was only $25. If you spent $40 you could get a dock with audio-out and a wireless remote control – that’s right, just dock your phone to play audio out your stereo, no extra step to plug in a cable. Not that I’m complaining about plugging in a cable, but would expect more than a cheap hunk of plastic for $40.
This “Multimedia” dock is not worth the cost.
Love my Droid, this Dock was a waste of money.

This is a really cool idea, adds great functionality to an already cool phone. However, (here it comes) they fail to mention that it will not fit in the dock if you have a protective case on the phone. The dimensions are just a little to small to hold it if the phone is in a case. I am going to try and use a dremel and widen it out a little, but if you don’t own a dremel or a droid don’t worry about it.

The Motorola Droid Multimedia Station has a fatal flaw. On the bright light setting, the light is too bright to use at night when sleeping. On the dim light setting, the light is too dim to read the time at night. Actually, the problem is not that the light is too dim; instead, the problem is that the Motorola engineers seem not to have looked at the Droid in the middle of the night. They created a fancy wallpaper behind the numbers, and then made the color of the numbers very similar to the fancy wallpaper. So there is not enough contrast. What is needed is completely black wallpaper (i. e. a black background) with completely white (but dimly lit) numbers with very crisp, clear outlines. As it is right now, the Multimedia Station is unusable at night; traditional digital clock alarms do a much better job.
