The Epic fits in there securely, the 'dock' portion has a slide on it to engage/dis-engage the charging port while still securely holding the phone. Comes w/ a cigarette lighter charging cord to stay plugged into the dock (that can also be plugged into the phone directly if you wish. The charging cord is NOT the coily cord type, rather a decent length of small diameter straight cord.

The Dock that holds the phone is soft touch plastic to keep from marring the phone, it's also flexible and not rigid. I 'believe' the keyboard can be slid open when in the dock although I didn't try that yet.

There's a headphone jack on the rear of the dock but says that it will only be active w/ Froyo release (and I don't believe the DK28 leaked build has the capability for this to be enabled, and I don't have the resources to test it properly).

The suction cup mount is very sturdy. The mount is very stable. It also includes a flat disc w/ sticky tape on it to sticky the mount to your dash and use the suction cup for that.

The dock itself is detachable from the mount/arm for some reason. It has a quick release latch incorporated as well but as of now, I'm not sure what else it would clip onto.

When connecting the dock to the USB port it puts the phone in 'car' mode automatically as well.

All in all, it's definitely worth the price. It's a very nice piece and I highly recommend it.
I've been considering that one as well, especially since I found one online for around $30 NIB. However, I'm waiting until the Froyo release is definitely out to upgrade. In the meantime, my generic mount allows me to use my audio jack just fine.
