If you have an original iPhone (the Edge only one), it came with a dock. This dock fits the new iPhone 4 and still charges it and seems to hold it pretty nicely. So if you were looking at buying the new dock and still have one of these older ones around, try it out first.

Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
Awesome! Have one somewhere. I was going to throw it away, but could not bring myself to do that. Glad I didn't.
Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
I still use an original Dock, Copyright 2003. I placed all my devices in there: iPod 40GB (Firewire), iPod 60GB (USB), iPod Touch 1G, iPod Touch 2G and now iPhone 4.
Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
Really? I upgraded to the iPhone 4 from an original iPhone 2G, and I wasn't able to make the new phone sit properly in the 2G's dock. ---

It's amazing what you can make fit where if you use a dremel tool. All my original docs have been modified to fit my 3gs...
Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
I have the original iPhone Dock and tried this out. It does work with the iPhone4. Saves about $30 for a new dock. Now I just need more usb ports :-).
Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
Until last Thursday I was still using a 1st-generation iPhone. One of the first things I did with my iPhone 4 was put it in my old dock to transfer apps and music. They are obviously not made for each other, but the fit is surprisingly good.

It does work, and doesn't hold the phone quite as nicely as the 4G dock. The 1G dock relies on the foxconn connector to hold up the phone. There is space around the phone in the 1G dock, but not enough to use the dock with a bumper, so thata's still a no-go.
Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
The audio out jack on the back did not work. I did not try any video out. It will sync and charge the iPhone 4 and is great for FaceTime as a stand. It works well with the speakerphone too.

Working great for me for the past few days.
Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
I just tried this hint. The iPhone 4 does indeed fit, and the USB connection seems fine. But as BrentT pointed out, the dock's audio-out port does *not* work.
Use the original iPhone dock with New iPhone 4
I sold my Original iPhone when I bought the iPhone 4. I had three docks that I sold with it. Just yesterday, I found a fourth in a box full of office crap (don't ask me why I had so many :P ) Anyway, I was going to just sell it on eBay and try to make a few bucks off of it. While searching the WWW for the part number, I came across this thread. HOLY CRAP! It really does work! I had already purchased the iPhone 4 dock to keep on my desk at work. Now I can keep this original iPhone dock at home. |
