Hereafter is a report from Goulwen





To reduce the price of the iPhone, Apple has removed the peripheral and devices shipped with the first version of the mobile, as they did it in the past with the iPod. If you purchase the new Bluetooth iPhone headset, which is now cheaper, it does NOT contain the dock anymore. So the "bidouille" from Goulwen is most likely the best way to follow for most of us, to avoid buying an expensive piece of plastic.

this looks great! i was just on the phone with apple about this yesterday wonering why they don't have one yet. and the best they could tell me was it would be a month or so since thats the way the last one was.

I'm wondering though. How did you polish it? did you use any measurements to get it precise. I want to do this, but don't want to screw it up. Thanks

Hi guys!
I posted a few pics with the tools i used here:

i used a dremel with a diamond head and did a bit of polish with a 600 sand paper they use on cars
I just draw the line with a red pen, putting my 3G on the top on the dock. it's an easy bidouille if you're carefull enough.
did the same thing for my simple iphone dock as well. perfect saving of money...
enjoy

thanks Goulwen
