There are a limited number of mounting solutions available for the Wizard, particularly for mounting with the keyboard open.
I have found a flexible solution from Brodit which works for me for use in the car and on my desk with the device keyboard open (a keyboard closed solution is also available for those who prefer it).
Below are the pictures and links for the components I used.
They comprise of
1: A Screen mount (although a dashboard grill mount is also available for individual makes of cars I chose the screen mount because I did not like the idea of the device being to close to the heater vents).
2: A Horizontal cradle (although they also do a Vertical one).
3. A pack of what they call 'Move Clips'.
The move clip pack comes with 3 parts - 2 Male and 1 female - as seen in the first picture and here http://www.dsldevelopments.com/moveclips.html
The male is attached to the back of the cradle, and one female is attached to the Screenmount.
When the screenmount is placed in the car, the cradle can now be attached and removed from it very quickly and easily.
The second female clip I have attached to a moveable block on my desk, so when I am not in the car I can mount the cradle on the block for desktop use. I could have just stuck the second clip to my desk, but chose to mount it on a block so I could move it about easily.
Althought they have a cradle option with USB car charger included (Active Mount), I chose the 'Passive' holder and use it with the charge/sync cable that came with the device as I don't have anywhere to connect a cigarette lighter charger in my office.
To see the mount options go here http://www.dsldevelopments.com/pdaholdersearch.asp and search for HTC Wizard, and here is direct link to the screenmount http://www.dsldevelopments.com/suctionmount.html - shown with an example cradle attached
I understand from various posts that this solution is not available everywhere at the moment but this company will ship overseas for those who can't locate the parts in their own country. Postage is reasonable, but e-mail them for a quote.
NOTE: I have no association with the site at the links above - I just used them and found them very helpful.
