This thing looks pretty cool and efficient, but does it hold the phone securely, and stay on the dashboard? Does the mic work as well as/better than the speakerphone mic. It just seems a little cheap for such a packed item.

I use this one HERE (http://cgi.ebay.com/Universal-PDA-GPS-MP3-Car-Windshield-Vent-Holder-Mount_W0QQitemZ330211236367QQihZ014QQcategoryZ4327 5QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), and it works awesome. Sticks to the windshield, flexes to where I want it, and cheap. Very secure.

I got that one (the simple one). Works for my needs.

Didn't know about the first one though, designed for this phone, it's interesting but looks bulky/complex.

Most of the generic ones will work (just check the dimensions of the device it will hold), I got this (http://cgi.ebay.com/White-CAR-MOUNT-w-Vent-Clips-for-Tungsten-E-E2-TX-T5-T3_W0QQitemZ280199604854QQihZ018QQcategoryZ146434Q QcmdZViewItem)one off ebay as well.

It locks on the vents and doesn't move. The padded arms grab it firmly too. I got it in black though, theres a cool video in the item page.

The only down side is that the miniUSB plug is not reachable if the device is centered, but if you adjust it a little to the right you can get it.

He ships from Canada, but I got mine in two days to Texas after he notified me with a USPS tracking number.

Good luck =)
