hey all, just got a dock for my droid,and a new hard case. i kinda like em. what are your goodies,favorite cases,all in all... whatcha got? by the way,post ur favorite apps,what u are using daily. soooooooooo? whatcha got?
It shouldn't hurt the battery, my understanding is the Droid has a built in regulator to charge the battery.
The car dock suction cups to the windshield or it comes with a plastic disc you can glue somewhere on the dash and then suction cup to it. It does not come with a charger if you get it from Verizon, the Motorola branded one available elsewhere cost $10 more but it comes with a car charger.
I used a monoprice cable and cigarette light to USB adapter to power mine, the parts were like $3. I'll take a pic of mine and post it when I have time.
This is the car mount I got, love it!

I cant find a place on my dash that I would consider flat enough to put that sticky disk so I just put it in the windshield. I use my home charger in the inverter I have wired straight to the battery for my laptop, don't need Streets and Trips anymore. I plug it into the radio through the earphone plug, dumped XM, didnt like them anymore since the merge because they got rid of X-Country. Lots of music choices on the Droid.
how does that attach?
That's a nice set up. Good find. Gotta check that out for myself.This is the car mount I got, love it!

Those style mounts are usually two piece. They give you a custom plate that works with your car that is designed to bolt somewhere on your vehicle under a trim piece and have the tab stick out like you can see in the second picture on that post then the holder mounts to it. I haven't used one personally but they look very secure.
