    This speaker dock may have some low-end distortion issues, but the T612's selling point is clear: It lets you dock your iPhone, play music, and take calls without having to put it into "airplane mode"—something no dock has Read more

    • Full iPhone functionality. Bass/treble controls. Useful remote. Well-balanced audio output.
    • Bass distorts at mid-to-high volumes. No TV-out. No speakerphone abilities. No menu navigation on remote. Watch the Altec Lansing T612 Video Review!

    • GSM-shielded iPod dock allows iPhone to be used without the need to switch it to airplane mode; attractive design; decent sound, with richer bass than you would expect from a speaker system that's this compact; music pause...

    Overall it’s an attractive, extremely good sounding, noise-shielded, tasteful and remote-controllable iPhone dock which will set you back about £130 at Play.com , it will, of course, charge your iPhone/iPod, too. Read more

    I have a little trouble getting the iphone sound to come through the speakers at first. Seems I have to wiggle the iphone a bit to make the connection. Other than that I think this is a flawless product. Read more

    Sounds ok, not great. Works with 3GS if Docking Adapter is removed; don't have a case for iPhone; so don't know how that will impact the unit. Read more

    • Works as advertised, mostly (see below)
    • iPhone 3GS will not fit in docking adapter; called AL and they said to buy an adapter from Apple; apadpter is black to match unit; Apple sells white ones; beware
