Perfect with iphone 3G by Howard Ainsworth
At first I had some trouble docking my 3G iphone until I removed the iphone adapter that came with the unit.
Bingo! No more problems, 3G works every time with out any errors or phone noise.
The sound is fantastic for a unit of this size and looks very nice, not plastic looking as were many models I considered.
It also works with the new ipod touch, same great sound.
After much shopping around, I believe the T612 is by far the best value and performance any where near it’s price range out there right now.
Not As Advertised by Jorge P. Landa
Though this product is advertised to work with the iphone, it does so with endless messages on the iphone itself that it is not compatable, while disconecting the speakers. It continues to ask me if I want to turn the calling feature off on the iphone to continue to use the speakers. I say no a few times and the message goes away. This will repeat the next time I try to get the iphone to connect properly to the system again.
It also does not rest properly on the bay and has to be pushed on to make a full sounding speaker connection.
The sound is great, and design, but he product if flawed.
The company says mine is defective and I am awaiting a new one from Amazon, which will not arrive for a month. I am unable to verify if the new one is the same, but have grave doubts.
I would suggest you choose another Iphone speaker option.
Perfect office cubicle companion by A. Dahl
This is my first Altec Lansing purchase. It’s also my first docking station purchase for my iPhone because it’s the only shielded device avaialable (as of the time I’m typing this).
Set up was a breeze, the iPhone sits perfectly in the cradle even with the extra large cork case I have on it. The best part!? There’s absolutely NO dit-a-dit-a-dit-a-dit-dit-dit interference noise when I receive calls or texts while the phone is docked! The sound quality is great, even at very, very low volume levels. Unfortunately, I can’t blast the sound while at work so I can’t speak to full volume sound quality.
If I had to wish for something better, I would ask that the remote allow for more advanced menu/song selection. It only offers basic PWR, VOL +/-, BASS/TREBLE adjustment, TRACK +/- and play/pause. It would be nice to have a rotary style remote wherein I could browse other artists and playlists without having to touch the iPhone.
Other than that minor gripe, I’m much happier at work now that I have my iPhone and iPod playing at work and getting charged at the same time. This is a great product which I’m very pleased with!
Great Sound & nice user controls - Docking a little dodgy by Dr. Jack G. May III
This is only docking/speaker product explicitly designed for iPhone that is currently available. It has great sound, good user controls, and is still compact for portability. No trace of interference from the iPhone but the docking action is not very tight and I have to place a foam rubber spacer behind the iPhone to get a reliable connection. As long as you remember to use such a spacer the unit rocks.
When a call comes in on the iPhone the unit pauses but you have to remove the iPhone from the unit to take the call. When finished just return the iPhone to the dock (with foam rubbedr spacer) and the music resumes.
