Is it true that we must slide OPEN the Touch Dual to insert into the car holder?

Just got that brodit carholder been deliverd.

Yeah your phone has to be slided open before you can put it in the holder. To bad, but otherwise it won't be stay on it's place in the holder.
The phone is not getting in very smooth the holder.

[gogol]

Thats bummer :(

I dont like that way :(

Any good alternative?

seems that the dual is pretty fussy about car mounts - that side mounted charging hole is obscured by most cradles, unless you slide it open, as above.

I bought a ten quid thing from Halfords (UK) that it kind of rests in, attached to one of my vents. It's by no means perfect, but it doesn't fall out either - and luckily it's the right height.

why did they change the position of it from the touch? perhaps my biggest niggle with this handset!!

Been looking on HTC's site, for Dual accessories


What about this one?

dank je :)

think I'll check out blueunplugged (UK site) too, where i got my GPS ariel from. Today the phone decided to try & throw itself out of my temporary arrangement.
I must get a mount soon!

i don't think that bothers me. are you mounting it on your vents, or on a sucker thing on your window?

payday coming, might do the same as you.

The Herbert Richter kan the Dual be open og closed - nice and a bit cheaper solution.


www.pdaplus.nl
It took only 3 days to arrive from The Netherlands to Denmark - a total under 28 Euro for the Richter solution.
The Brodit I got from Denmark 55 Euros.

I´m trying them both out - mounted them on my BRODIT ProClip with the BRODIT Move Clip thing on it.

I´m gonna stick with the Herbert Richter setup, where I have the possibillity to have the handset open or closed.

I now have one BRODIT passive HTC Touch Dual holder for sale..... 2-3 days old.

[Lord of the Badgers]

O2 shops in the UK stock an OK cradle, with a hole in the right place, so to speak - well ok the TD doesn't sit totally in it (with the charging cable in I mean), but it fits nice & snug. It does dance around a bit, and rattle, so I adjusted the gooseneck thing so that the dashboard stops it from moving. am pretty satisfied now at last!

20 quid though, but I could at least check it out in the shop

Does the charger fit OK with the Herbert Richter holder?

Thanks.

Sorry guys, should of seen this thread. Didn't know there was an accessories forum!

[ciska]

i have an universal pda holder, bought for 5 euro's. that i can use with a cable with sigaret lighter plug in, and works great.

[Wozza]

I have used the Herbert Richter mounts before on my MDA Compact III and they fit perfectly!

Anyone found one that you can buy yet or know the release date? (Site below is pre order only)

[mavrik64]

I'm not sure still.
Any more solutions/options for car holder?

[danoneil]

I just bought myself a universal holder from ebay - cost about £5 (you can get similar in Tesco or Asda in the UK for about £4-5) and it has high up holding bits and couple of little legs at the bottom that you can adjust around. Clips into the car air-vent, looks ok, job done!

I've also bought a USB adapter for the cigarette socket so that I can simply plug in my spare USB cable (from a previous PDA) to charge my niki in the car.

One thing I would say about the car holders is that if you put it on speaker phone in the car to make calls etc. it is very quiet as the speaker is round the back and pressed up close to the car holder.
