Best Docking Station for Android Phones?
Discussion
Was in Currys (or similar, one of those retail park type places) and nosing at the docking stations. I have a 4g Galaxy S3 thing (not that I pay for 4g) and was pleasantly surprised by the number of android docking stations.
Saw the Sonos which looks decent, but most work with Bluetooth these days which would do me and, on the little Philips one I tried (£80ish), sounded ok (for a 10w speaker).
Wanted to try the Bose one with bluetooth but had no power adaptor (yes I asked). I previously had the Bose Sounddock and it was faulty on arrival, then got it replaced, then broke the circuit board the receiver thing sits on - bought a 3rd-party replacement circuit board which has subsequently broken as well - BUT the sound was good.
I like the idea of the Bose soundlink as can run for approx 8 hours on batteries and, being an events person, could be handy during set-up and breakdown - while still keeping my phone on me.
BUT... I appreciate the range in store may be limited. Anyone got any good suggestions for android docking stations? I'd happily spend £50 if there was something decent for that money, or will spend up to around £200 (soundlink was £220 in store).

I have a FatMan valve dock, but it has an Apple interface so no good for you, but I love it
Better not spend £600 on something the kids (or me) will break. http://www.whathifi.com/review/samsung-da-e750

Those FatMan things look pretty funky!
