Question Looking for a good clock/radio/iPhone dock for 3g

Anyone have any recommendations on a good speaker/dock for the 3G iPhone? I don't really care about AM/FM or even a remote. Just want to listen to my iPhone (Pandora or audiobooks) over a speaker and have it charge. A sleep option would be preferable. All the reasonably priced ones that I can find are for iPods, not the iPhone. Any suggestions? Any I should steer clear of?

I use the logitech anytime (link in signature) and it's a great alarm clock that has am/fm and a remote, plus it has a sleep timer, and iPhone shielding.
Got it for $60 on amazon on sale

That looks good. Does it let you set a sleep timer so you can listen to the iPhone for a set amount of time?

Yeah, turn my iPhone on iPod mode and click the sleep button on the Logitech for X minutes and it sleeps it. Doesn't work on Pandora though.

Or you could get the griffin air curve for $20. It has passive speaker amplification and charging if you have a griffin charge cable (it doesn't come with one).

If you want to use a universal dock adapter the air dock is not for you. Plus you'll have to manually insert the cable into your iPhone, and remove it everytime since the cable does not snap into the aircurve.
And last if you want to sleep it you have to use the sleep on your iPhone.

ihome ip99 clock radio is a nice unit. charges the 3g unit fine without airplane mode but it sounds great. sleep mode, 2 alarms independently selectable. EQ settings that work and a remote for good measure. It's a bit pricey for a clock radio, but it sounds and works great!
