Nexus One Dock hits the phone store

Google have the Nexus One Dock, now available via their online store for $45. Here’s the official description from their technical specs page:

The Nexus One Desktop Dock is an elegant place to charge your phone on your desk or nightstand.

Just drop your phone in the Desktop Dock, and the Clock app launches automatically, making it easy to:

• Check the local time and weather
• Set and clear alarms
• Watch a slideshow of your photos
• Play music
• Dim your phone’s display for nighttime use

We also include a 3.5mm-to-RCA audio cable that allows you to connect the dock to your stereo, so you can listen to your phone’s music on your stereo system.

Nexus One Dock will play music via bluetooth

We know that the Nexus One Dock will be available soon from a recent early ad-sighting, but just what it’s built-in bluetooth support is for has so far remained a mystery. have posted a tip from one of their readers which gives some more details as to how it will work:

…it’s a small dock where the phone sits in it vertically. My friend has a soft case around his Nexus one and it sat in the dock just fine even with the case on. The dock itself has an audio mini-jack allowing speakers to be connected to it, but unlike any of the iPhone docks that only play when you have the phone in the dock, the Nexus One Dock uses Bluetooth to transmit music. You can play music through the speakers or within Bluetooth range. The range was surprisingly good, able to play music with the phone 20+ feet with a wall or two between.  He had computer speakers attached, so I’m assuming the audio port is a standard mini-jack.

The Dock is likely to cost $45 dollars and should be available in a matter of days so if won’t be long before we find out full details on what it will be capable of.

Nexus One Dock for charging, photo slideshows and more: Available soon

An advert spotted on a YouTube video today indicates that the Nexus One Dock will cost $45 and presumably be available within the next week. There’s still no mention of the dock on the phone store but since Google have started advertising we expect that it won’t be long before it becomes available.

We’re assuming that placing the Nexus One into the Dock will trigger some kind of desktop display mode. The ‘and more’ suggests that the dock will make use of built-in bluetooth as detailed in the FCC filing for the device.
