there are only phone docks for the iphone, blackberry, and I forget the last one....I'm in the same situation in that there is no phone dock for the droid. Wish I would have known that and I would have skipped the $150 smart phone integration option.

Is there a list of phones for which the F10 has available docks?

My phone dock is my pocket; I let 'Bluetooth' do the rest and charge the phone at home .

I just hope they get with the program and rectify this problem. If the iphone is hard to get and the Android as well i cant imagine that any other phones will be compatible any time soon. Not a good thing.

There's quite a large selection of phones which have been tested for compatibility. Check here: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...blePhones.aspx

Compatibility does not equal having a phone dock.

Quite so; I was merely assisting 'fireman550' with his last query, which concerned phone compatibility

You're welcome Fireman; I wish the BMW UK website provided as much information as yours. If you haven't already done so, have a look at this section on the iDrive: http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...e/default.aspx

I know they are available for the iphone 3G / 3GS, Blackberry and some SonyEricssons.
