Default Touch Pro 2 Car Holder - recommendations please

Hi all.

I'm looking for a car holder for my TP2. Can anyone make a recommendation? I'm UK based and I'd rather not pay silly amounts on delivery other than that I'm open to all suggestions?

So far I've seen and like the Boxwave car holder. Only problem is they're a US company and they charge quite a bit for non-US delivery.

Thanks in advance

I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brodit-car-H...855076&sr=8-24

I combined it with my Richter holder (this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/HERBERT-RICH...4855152&sr=8-3 ) because I had a HTC Touch Pro before.

I have the CM929-S: Swivel Vent PDA Car Mount from Arkon that I got from eBay a while back for around $10. It works pretty well with the TP2, and I like it better than suction-cup mounts because it won't fall off. Although, I do like the idea of a unit-specific mount if I could find one.

Wait Spartan: The richter holder I posted is for TOUCH PRO 1 not Touch Pro 2! You can use the Richter "arm" (don't know the right word) and add the brodit holder.

if you are going to go Arkon, may as well go with the powered mount

http://www.arkon.com/poweredpdamount...lFeat=usb_mini

the speaker is fairly useless... the TP2 speaker is louder

does have 2 USB charge port though, 1 at 1.2a (fast charge!) and another at 600ma

a little thicker than the none power version but worth it
so you can charge 1 phone and another device... or a friends phone too

I combine it with a proclip vechile mount and its perfect!

I just got the box wave kit. The quality is good and you can fit the TP2 in landscape with keyboard out and portrait.

They dont give you a dash disk to mount on your dash but suction cup is huge should mount on any window. They also give you a HVAC vent hook as well.

I'd give it a 7/10.

Looks decent though passive only.
