I'd like to know the answer to this, too especially considering I have the bluetooth headset dock that pairs the iPhone bluetooth headset. I haven't heard any word on a new dock for this headset or even if a new headset will be coming out.
 
What about the iPod Universal Dock. Will that work for the iPhone 3g?
The Universal Dock works with the original iPhone. There is a message that pops up on the phone for 5 seconds, when you plug it in, saying that external audio won't be possible, but that's the only thing(no external audio) when using the original Universal dock. Syncing and charging is as normal. I'd imagine it would be the same with iPhone 3G.
 
So... where are we supposed to buy dock adaptors for out new iPhone 3Gs? Apple store don't seem to have any, CPW (UK) don't have them...

If they don't come in the box any more, where are we supposed to get them?

I spoke to a women from apple today, and I asked about the dock, she said " the dock for the Iphone 3G should be available tomorrow on the online apple store".

I have the iPhone bluetooth headset -- and I LOVE the dock that comes with it, because it allows charging of both the iPhone and the headset.

If the new iPhone doesn't fit the bluetooth headset dock, I'm going to be yanked!

Where is my dremel tool......

Thanks. Very useful info!

I want to use my universal dock (for the remote), but I don't want it to have problems. It's been great with my iPod Touch, no problems at all.

I take the audio out using a component video (& audio) cable - any reasons why this wouldn't work with the iPhone (3G) ?
 
iPhone 3g dock?

any word on the official apple dock for the 3g?

I want to buy one but is it available tomorrow or not? and if so, how much? I cant seem to find a link to it on apples site.

thaanks
 
I like the dock because it's handier and quicker to stick the iPhone into the dock rather than fiddling with plugging in the cable, and when I am ready to go somewhere, I quickly pluck my iPhone off the dock, slip it into its case and away we go...... I plan to buy one of the new 3G docks along with my new 3G iPhone tomorrow if they're available.

They will be on sale at apple stores soon i believe.

On the aussie apple website: $35 with $10 shipping for the iPhone 3g dock.
 
I want to buy the dock but are there any cases at all that will fit without having to remove the case before docking?
 
It doesn't fit. The phone makes it part of the way in but not far enough to get a connection with the computer.
 
I had been wondering the same - here is a photo of the new 3G going into the current iPhone dock. I am going to file the side edges down a bit and I will think it will fit.

I am not going to spend another £30 on a dock!!

Annoyed they did not include one actually!

bought my 8gb black from o2 about 2 hours ago, wont fit in original iphone dock and o2 didnt have any in, very very annoying as i love the dock :(
 
What's even more annoying is that the 3G won't fit in to the iPhone bluetooth headset cradle which is used to pair the two (you can do it manually but the cradle charged both the phone and the headset). :mad:
 
Does anyone know of a case that will also fit in the dock?

I want a plasticy case but I want it to be able to fit in a dock
