Nexus One Andrex Dock
Posted on February 3rd, 2010 in Tutorials | 4 Comments »
So, 26th January I ordered my Nexus One from Google.com and had to pay the $29 dollars for shipping to the UK.. quite reasonable price to be honest!
However, on 27th January Google Announced the Desktop Dock was now available – this was rather frustrating as I had already placed my order – so if I want one I will have to pay the $29 shipping fee again. However, I want 2! You can’t buy 2 though….If I want to purchase 2 then I have to place 2 seperate orders, meaning I will have to pay shipping to the UK twice, again – I’ve already paid once!
So, I figured I would make my own. This one cost 50 pence – (around 1 dollar to you US folks!)

There you have it!
This is perfect; I can create as many as I want. If you wanted to get creative you could colour yours in paint; or maybe cover it with papier mache?
$1 per dock – admitedly it doesn’t have Bluetooth like the Google one; but it’s a lot cheaper!
I almost forgot… A photo with the headphone Jack in:

Sorry about the quality of the photos… my digital camera is rubbish – it’s okay though as I now have a great camera in the Nexus One
Hope you like it.
p.s. Yes, I know it shit; but that’s what do you expect from a bit of shit roll? =))

Brilliant!
What are you doing?!? Maybe you could use a banana next time?
LOL
I suggest modify the nexus one box to make a dock, as the box has the shape of the phone.
That’s HEAPS better then the OEM Nexus one..
