(More customer reviews)This product works with Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global, and reportedly the original Droid (more on that later).
This product consists of two parts. The first is the suction cup/arm portion, which attaches the device to your windshield. I have not tried that portion of the product at all, because I'm using a Proclip vehicle mount to attach it to my dashboard, and the Proclip two-prong adapter specifically designed for this product.
The second portion is the part that actually holds the phone, and that is made up of two parts. As delivered the two parts are connected, and allows you to snugly insert a Droid 2 into the holder. If, however, your Droid 2 is in a plastic case, you need to remove a liner that is inside the holder. That liner fits somewhat snugly in the device, but once it is removed a Droid 2 in a plastic case fits. The case I am using appears to support an extended life battery, but I have not verified that. Accordingly, it appears this dock fits an extended life battery, at least if you use a case. Again, I have not verified that. The unit comes with a second liner which reportedly fits the original Droid. I have not verified that.
You can use your phone with this device orientated either horizontally or vertically. With a vertical orientation your effectively have a "tall-screen" GPS, which is a much better orientation for maps.
Once the device is in the dock, the phone will pop up a specialized program as shown in the pictures, designed to make it easier to use while in a car. I'm not sure that portion of the programming is all that useful, but you can exit it and use the phone normally if you wish.
My only complaint is that the power connection to the device is a bit awkward, and that's due to the device being designed to be used in two orientations, and not specifically designed to be attached to a dashboard. As it is the power connector points straight out the back. Absent using a connector with a 90 degree bend, the cord may hit your dashboard. Again though, this shouldn't be an issue if you mount the device to your windshield with the suction cup.
Finally, the price on this unit is very reasonable, in part because it does not come with a 12 volt power cord. The Amazon seller I used threw one in for free!
