Default Car Mount

Considering the Incredible's Car Mount wasn't great... any ideas on good car mounts for the Thunderbolt? I figure there should be plenty of options out there because it has the same form factor/size as the Desire HD and Evo.

I'm looking for something easy... maybe two magnets, attach one to the back piece of a two-piece case and use it to attach it to a magnet stuck onto your car's dashboard? Anyone have a setup like this currently?

I'd love for some kind of car mount that would allow shooting of video while driving. either a suction cup to the windshield with a hole (or self dremel job hole like people did for the D1) or something that can attach to the rear view mirror.

I loved my OG Droid car mount, which broke recently. I used a Dremel tool to cut a hole for the camera and it worked great. I hope the car mount can move as freely as the Droid mount did. Really hoping for a desktop dock, too.

Looks like there Will be some type of mount according to the screenshot seen about the incredible HD in Verizons system. There is a part number for the tbolt that ends in mount....

That is what I will do if nothing else materializes. I just hope it doesn't stutter with bumps from my wrx

Default Purchased car mount

I picked up my Thunderbolt as well as a car mount today I was pleasantly surprised that the car mount does not cover the camera and that it has a place to plug in your car charger. It seems well constructed.

does your phone sit in the dock properly? the micro-usb end of mine seems "higher" than the other end. kind of weird

Mine sits a little high on the USB end..... I really wish there was a way to get back into the car home mode though after you exit it..... right now I've been having to undock and re-dock to re-launch car home.... really anoying.

Was the car mount an HTC product or a generic one that would work? Can you tell me the cost? I just picked up the TBolt but my store didn't have anything so just wondering what my options are.
Current Device: HTC Thunderbolt!!
Previous Device: OG Droid 1 - I will miss you!
