I now have 3 RND docks... One for my night stand, one for by the Lazyboy where i spend evenings and one at my office. The RND dock comes with a nice USB to MicroUSB cord (longer) for use with the AC adapter. It also comes with a transfer cable which I don't use. I rarely plug in the phone to transfer data, use an SFTP client to move files to and from the NAS at the house or over the net.

sorry if this is a silly Q, but what is the difference between the usb cable and the transfer cable?

One is for charging and the other only does data transfers. Not sure why you would not just use a charge/data cable instead of just a data cable, but the charge only cable ensures the device sees the charger as an AC charger. The length is nice.

DONATE TO ME
Overall, I like the rnd dock, but I find the blue led to be way too bright for my nightstand. And while the phone fits well, it sometimes takes me a few tries in the dark to get the phone onto the usb connector.

I wish the Rezound had pogo-pin contacts like the Nexus One.

I agree on both counts. In the dark without my glasses, it can be "fun" getting it docked, especially in the dark lying down. The blue light which is always on (both the RDN and the EZO) is like a laser in the night... I fixed it on all of them with black tape. I cover them both the LED's since I don't even have a second standard battery to charge in it (just an extended one which won't fit).

And the Nexus including the Gnexus has cool docking pins which makes using docks a lot easier..

It isn't that big of a deal though for either issue to me.
