Instead, keep the phone turned on; when a call comes in the T612 gives priority to the call by interrupting the music.

Great IPod Dock for my Touch 2nd Gen
I spent a lot of time considering what IPod dock to choose. Came very close to purchasing one of the new Bose models, but at between £200-£300 I decided against it. There's also a lot of confusion out there with regard to which IPod docks will charge the 2nd Gen IPod Touch and IPhone models. Thankfully, the Altec Lansing T612 will happily charge all 2nd Gen IPod Touch and IPhones.

The sound is deep and rich, and should satisfy even the most critical music lover. The remote control is very useful too, and will enable you to play, pause and skip each track, as well as increase/decrease bass and treble. Admittedly, it would be better to have a more comprehensive remote with more functions. However, for the size and convenience of the remote, it's perfectly adequate.

The Altec is very pleasing to the eye and will sit compactly and unobtrusively in a any room. It feels solidly built and also it's extremely simple to operate with the power, volume, base and treble buttons located on the top of the panel.

Personally I like the fact that the Altec will charge my IPod Touch even when the Altec is switched off. I presume the unit stays in stand-by mode when switched off to allow you to park your IPod and charge it.

Tip for IPod Touch users: The Altec comes with a black plastic dock installed. This is tailored for the IPhone, which is thicker than the IPod Touch. You can simply pop this out and replace it with the white plastic dock that came with your IPod Touch. Then you're all set.

I got a special offer from Apple, so picked up the Altec for £100. Even at full price, this is worth buying though.

Impressive
After buying another unit previously as a present for someone else, I was little nervous at how this unit would work with the latest Iphone 3G (2.2) 16 gig. The previous unit I had bought (different manufacturer) assured compatibility with latest pod versions etc but it proved false which was infuriating. However the T612 works perfectly. Charges the Iphone as specified. iPhone does come up with and occasional message about it not being designed for Iphone, and prompts to set itself to aircraft mode. Despite the prompt it works perfectly.

As for sound I 'm pretty knocked out. very warm big sound. Plenty of Bass. Very well made. Being able to adjust the Treble and Bass is a nice touch. Remote works great. The seating is quite tight for the Iphone's you have to ensure its in firmly. My guess it's just a tad tight, however it works perfectly well. I get nervous about applying any kind of pressure to seat the phone hence my comment on it.

There is no interference at all from Phone signals. Crystal clear so a perfect match for the Iphone. to my surprise I received a Bluetooth hands free ear module in the box as well which a great bonus. Setting it to aircraft mode helps eliminate any possible interference which I often do, however I've not detected any so far when the iphone is not in this mode.

In all extremely impressed and very happy with the purchase.

Great product
This system oozes quality, rich deep sound wrapped up in a solidly built case - should last for years. Remote function works well with ipod. Very happy I bought this and not the Bose. Only downside is no radio function which would have been nice.
