Docking Station for Android Phone

    I am looking to buy my daughter a docking station for her phone for Christmas, she will have a phone with a mini usb connection by then (elephone P6i).
    I'm finding it very hard to find a docking station that will accomodate properly these phones (which in all fairness are very common). They can connect ok by blue tooth but I wanted one where she can sit her phone in the cradle and play her music to her hearts content.

    Can anyone help me? Don't have a huge budget thinking up to €80.

    And just moaning now but why are all these stations set up for an iphone??? seriously the whole world doesn't own iphones. (moan over):mad:

    I think I have seen a sony one in tesco. you could always drop richer sounds a mail, they are great and would easily know what you are on about and are just as cheap as online most times.

    edit to say put it into amazon and came up with these

    My god that is one hell of an iPhone knock-off ;)

    Head in to any of the big electronics shops or go online, these days there is a huge number of speaker docks for Android phones. There may be none specifically for the elephone P6i but plenty of generic Android ones that should work.

    Also just double check the connection on the bottom of the phone. You call it a mini usb where most Android phones use micro usb.

    Just a quick note in case you didn't realise:

    While you may get a dock which has a micro-USB connection, you'll still need to either connect and stream music via Bluetooth or use a 3.5mm audio cable.

    The reason being that the micro-USB connection will charge the phone but it doesn't have the ability to stream music as well.
