Default Car mount suggestions?

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.

Default Windshield Mount

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.

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.
