Bionic Car Dock vs Charge Car Dock

[eygraber]

Hey guys, I recently returned my Charge because I needed the Bionic Before I returned it, I purchased the car dock. From the Amazon pictures, they appear to be the same, or close to the same hardware. Anybody think I'll be able to use the Charge dock for the Bionic, or will there be some sort of software compatibility issue?

I wouldn't think software as much as it not fitting into the dock. They have different dimensions I think. But is the dock just a dock to charge it, or is it something that hooks into the radio or something?

Pictures of each dock attached. They seem drastically different to me. Also the usb port likely will not line up correctly. Most oem car docks are dedicated to one particular phone.

I highly doubt they are compatible.

Has anybody purchased/ordered the Bionic Car Dock yet...if so, where can I get one?

That's what I was thinking, different dimension and they don't have the same spots for USB ports. You should probably return the Charge dock.

Yeah I kinda brainfarted on that one....anybody know Verizon's return policy on these things?

There are some great universal car docks out there (like from Arkon) that let you stick almost any phone in it, with or without a case.

They usually do 30 days for accessories
