There are lots and lots of options as far as speakers are concerned. Doc's as they are called can go from anywhere from about $30 on up to the one made by Bose for about $400, some have clocks and some don't, so you have lots of choices. Most run on AC power, and most do not run on batteries. Afew will have remotes which will allow to control them remotely. That's about all I can tell you, so I hope it helps. The best way to find out more about them is to go to a big box store and look at some on the shelves and see the differences.
Good luck. Also, there is an affordable item sold by atguys here in the states for about $40 which you hook up to your stereo and access via blue tooth menu on your phone. It is battery controled and the batteries last up to eight hours. It does not have an alarm, but your phone does.

It's compact with two speakers built in to one unit. Between speakers on the left and right is the station to place your phone/ipod.Sounds great. Comes with a remote. Is portable with some effort. The unit takes three AA batteries that are useful if you lose power. . As I said it can work as a speaker for your computer and other mp3 players. Mine did not come with auxiliary cable but you should be able to purchase it if you plan to play other devices. AM and FM work great. I don't use the antanaes that come with it but if you have poor reception you can use them, separate antaena for AM and FM. It has an alarm clock and it can play your favorite station or song from your iPhone/iPod at the desired time. But it is not really accessible so you will need some help to set it up. Basic functions are pretty accessible without any help. ----- Original Message ----- From: jessica Diaz To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2012 4:35 PM Subject: RE: does This Exist? Hi I like the sound of this. What do you have yours sitting on? I was planning on setting mine on a dresser type of thing. Does this do more than charge the phone? I have no problem paying just am wondering why the prices of these are so high. Let me know.

Make sure to read the description closely if you are buying such a thing from ebay. I have been sold something in the name of a docking station in the past that did not charge the unit. It just had place to adjust the iPhone. I now have a JBL On Time Micro Speaker System which is compact and sounds great. It charges all kind of iPods and iPhones, and is also Great for using with a computer or other mp3 players using an auxiliary cable. It comes with a remote control but costs about $200. You will often find it cheaper on amazon. Last time I checked it was about $90. It seems to be much more information than you asked for but more you know better you can make choices.

Hi All I am not all that advanced with my phone so I wanted to ask if there was a set of speakers I can buy for my phone that can charge it as well? That might be called a docking station but to be honest I am not sure. Thanks for all suggestions. Jessica Diaz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
