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..

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

This place has Free shipping

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?

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.
