Car mount suggestions?

[WhiteSoxxx]

I am looking for a windshield (suction cup) car mount solution that will charge my Sprint Touch while in the mount/cradle but does not have a built in speaker. My car has bluetooth integrated so I don't need the hands free capability.

Also, my main purpose for the mount will be to run navigation software so I would like the ability for the mount to easily rotate 90 degrees for horizontal or landscape mode.

I've been looking around online but I must be looking in the wrong places...

thanks in advance.

not exactly suction cup window mount, but I use one of the magnetic mounts for mine in my truck. it holds it in place nicely, maintains access to the charging port, can be turned however you want it, and the metal plate on the back is thin enough to not interfere with putting it in and taking it out of the belt holster. if you have a pilot truck stop near you, they sell a nice magnet mount there.

not really aware of any truckstops near my area... kind of looking for something i could order online. thanks for input though

I bought one off ebay that mounts to the windshield using a suction cup then you just plug your standard car charger into it. Like this.

In the pictures, it looks like the charging port would be covered..

No, The bottom has prongs on the left and right. The center is open to plug in the charger. This thing does tend to rattle though when the phone isn't in it. It works great with the phone in it.

I just bought this, received it on monday.

It is so solid. I live in PA, which has some of the worst potholes you can imagine. So far it has not budged, with the phone in it or not. It does landscape really nice as well as vertical.

qwho, how does the HIACOM mount and what does it mount to?

kenper, does that suction cup stay attached pretty well? I'd hate to see my Touch go crashing to the ground... I'd probably cry.

I think i'm gonna get the one QWHO has for 2 reasons. It looks alot less bulky and it is custom made to fit the touch. So what did you end up getting?

It's a not suction cup but I have one in my car and truck. It swivels for everything you will need. You will need to but a mount off the website as well for your particular vehicle.

Yea, I think I am going to try the one QWHO listed as well.. It's reasonably priced and is apparently sturdy. Wish I could find a mount that had an integrated charger (so that I wouldn't have to plug the phone in seperately of the mount).

Anyone see a mount like that, similar to say an ipod dock?

I bought this....and at 5.00 I was really suprised...it bends to the shape I want, holds extremely well, and has padded sides. Plus, because it has a ratched style holder, it actually will hold other phones. My touch fits like a glove and it makes GPS navigation great! I highly recommend this holder..

[stinkbud]

Buyer beware folks...

I have my touch for about a month. I bought a gooseneck windshield mount on ebay and it is already broken....the bendable metal broke off.

I am currently going for another type without the gooseneck, probably the Haicom

Just got this in the mail yesterday and it works great.
Very sturdy and easy to adjust to different positions. Thanks qwho.

Think this is similar to this one I found: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2029

Just wondering for people who own this. Hows the accessability to the plug on the bottom of the phone, do the legs get in the way?

[bogus83]

I ordered one of these on ebay:

It's cradle style so the charger is built in. Rotates either way without much effort, and stays in place well. I believe the model number is htchol012.

Yes the one I posted was a suction cup one. Still works great. In fact I was recently in a car wreck, hit on the front right side, opposite of where I had it mounted. Didn't budge! Don't worry, I'm ok.

For charging, I actually plugged in a car cigarette port extender to a 120v socket converter, which my wall charger for my phone is plugged into, all under my seat. I then ran the charger cord up the insulation in the door and it comes out of a seam right by my phone's mount. It is pretty clean and works really nice. So even though it doesn't have a built in charger in the mount, it now works like one if I want it to.

I bought two of those back in the spring - one for the car, and one for my desk. Plenty of room for the USB, so synch/charging is fine. It's very solid, quite flexible, and easy to rotate.

I went this route for my desk, because I couldn't justify the expense of a cradle (I can plug-in the USB myself), and since I use MyMobiler, I really don't 'touch' the screen while it's docked.

DealExtreme isn't the fastest (everything ships from Hong Kong), but they've got good prices, and I've had good luck with everything I've purchased.

Picked this one up form eforcity for $.99 it works really well and is easy to use with the touch or anything els you feel like mounting up there

Try Scoche, i think thats how it is spelled. I just picked up one from walmart earlier today. They are on clearance right now. There are 2 models that are 20.00 a pieces. One is a suction cup , got longer flex neck , and the other one has a base where you would put in in your cup holder + it came with stickies to stick it to something. It works pretty good. Get it while they still have them. They are located in the GPS section ni walmart.

oh yeah, I got the one with the base that goes into the cup holder.

I am getting the proclipusa mounts for my HTC XV6900, Dell X51v and my Navigon 2090S. They look sweet!
