Brodit is expensive, but I bought mine from www.proclipusa.com. I bought it because it was the only car mount that I found that had an integrated charger, and it supported the phone in portrait or landscape, keyboard open or closed. Pics attached of my Kaiser running TomTom Navigator 6 in my truck.

Jay, I've got a 99 Tahoe and am looking at this kit. What is the reachability like on that side of the console?

This is a 1998 GMC Sierra K1500 extended cab. It is very good. Just as easy as reaching the radio or the a/c controls. Watch out though, they are slow to ship. When I first ordered it, it was backordered and it took them 3 weeks to ship the vehicle mount, then it broke 2 seconds after I tried to install... I sent it back and it took them another 3 weeks to backorder and send me another. The second one went right on, and didn't break, and has been clipped securely to my dash for about 2 months now.

The total cost for the charging cradle & the vehicle mount was a little over $100 US. An added bonus is that I've taken to leaving my Motorola H700 on the cradle to charge when I'm not in the truck. It just slides right in. No more leaving it dangle at the end of a car charger with the cord slung over the gearshift.

When I first got it I had problems sliding the phone in, and it would just miss the USB connector by just a little, and stop at the USB connector. Now that I've gotten used to it, the phone slides right in, and I rarely have problems.

I've been very pleased with the exception of how long it takes them to ship. If you have any more questions just let me know...

I had the same shipping experience, 3 weeks went by and I had to call just to find out it was back-ordered. They upgraded me to overnight shipping at no charge. I also paid little over $100, and yeah I feel insane to paying that much for a molded piece of plastic and car charger. After researching other alternative though, no wanting a suction cup based holder or others I figured I'd just order it.

I've been very impressed with it, and it installed easily. I was able to replace the charging cable with my all in one cable power/audio/mic cable and everything looks professional.

I ordered mine from proclipusa on the 23rd and received it on the 26th. Don't much care for their mounts, however, so that is on the way from panavise. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow so I can install it this weekend.

I ended up ordering one of these with the integrated charger. Not sure if it was worth the big bucks, but I did get it much quicker than 3 weeks. Took about 5 business days.

Here is my set-up

---

I use the Noreve case which I discovered fits the Krusell Belt Clips & other Mounts (as the stock Noreve belt clip is quite possibly the worst one inthe universe).

I have a Krusell Car Mount bracket screwed onto the Brodit/Proclips Dash Mount for my 2007 Ford Escape.

I and able to view & reach my phone for use while driving just fine. On the plus side, when I change phones I'll just need to find another case that hangs in the Krusell piece (which is very easy).

I even have my external GPS Antenna tucked behind the Brodit plate for easy access if I need or want to use it.

But Seriously, here is the cost breakdown for my rig:

$ 45 - Noreve Case (From Noreveusa.com, Use "CardMe" (case sensitive) Discount code when checking out to save 10%)
$ 40 - Brodit/Proclip Car Mount (From Proclipusa.com)
$ 15 - Krusell 58124 - Multidapt Slide Swivel Belt Clip & 58117 ( or 58127 newer version) - Multidapt Car Holder Kit (Round Thing) (From eBay user "Paylessalways")
$ 15 - HTC/OEM Car Charger (From at&t Corp Store with Discount)
$ 20 - External GPS Antenna (From eBay)
====================================
$135 - Total Cost

Knowing that you're happy with the case & car mount for the great Cell Phone/PDA/GPS Unit Lifestyle Device you have, PRICELESS!

Note: If you want a clip that will ratchet at 8 different angles, order Krusell 54116 - Multidapt Ratchet Swivel Kit instead of the slide swivel clip.
