So whats up with car mount/holders?

I'am scanning ebay time to time, this one looks pretty nice to me:
http://cgi.ebay.com/M02-Car-Mount-H...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item230520b765
Has anybody tried this or any other solutions?

This is just a car mount.. the Google Car Dock will charge it and put it in some kind of NAV mode I am guessing..
But I am waiting too, much more excited about the car mount over the desktop one they sell.

i'm buying this one when my N1 arrives:

I have this one. You will need to modify (Heat and bend, file down slightly with dremmel) to make it work with a hardcase on the phone. I got it to work nicely.

I just bought a random car holder from a store with variable width and it works like a charm, cost like $10.
Might not have a built in charger, but I already have a usb charger for my car so it doesn't really matter.

BEST Phone holder.. BY FAR
bought this to use with my G1 back when the Sprint Hero Nav app was dumped.. used it many times and works excellent with the Nexus One as well ... it rotates landscape and it unclips to use in the dash vent .. i originally wanted it because it doesnt interfere with the touchscreen and its low profile wont let it vibrate too much..and it has a good grasp on the phone without damage (i run a track setup on my suspension with competition spring rates and coilovers.. along with solid engine mounts)

it's not clear by the Amazon description, does it mount by peel and stick or suction cup?

peel and stick... or vent mount

I've been looking for a low profile secure vent mount for my benz. Might check this one out for $15!
Update: Just picked one up at PepBoys for $11.99!
FYI: it's brand name is TypeS Xgrip universal holder & model is AC30267-60/6
Update2: Took it back...way to flimsy!

I had a lot of trouble getting it to 'hold' securely at the correct angle height on the vent.

Bunch of Trinity accessories (and a Trinity) for sale. :)

So, my dad used to use the Trinity as his everyday work phone, until he saw my Nexus One. Now that he's got the N1, all the accessories he had are incompatible, and need to be sold!
FOR SALE:
One HTC P3600 PRO (Trinity) in black.
The phone is certainly in a used state. It's not broken or anything; everything functional on the phone still works, but the case shows obvious wear from going in/out of the car dock constantly. Bundled with the phone are the user manual, the "Getting Started" disk (CD is unopened), and all assorted documentation (if you want it.), the European-style wall charger (with U.S. adapter), and the original MiniUSB-StandardUSB cable. Spare battery for an extra $10 or something.
Paserro charger/dock.
This device will charge your phone (only if it's the Trinity), connect it to the computer, and charge a spare battery, all at the same time. It's a nice dock that holds the phone upright and securely.
MiniUSB Car Charger
Belt Case from HTC
This case was designed for the Trinity and is made by HTC themselves, so you know you're getting only the best. It's used, but there's nothing wrong with it.
ProclipUSA Car Dock
This car dock is absolutely the best available, hands down. You can find it on the manufactures website here. This is, besides the phone, easily the coolest thing in the lot. Their docks are a two part system (This is ONLY the device specific part. You need a vehicle specific part from their website!!!) that allows you to mount your device to your car seamlessly. This is Proclips highest grade car dock, with an integrated charger that can be wired behind the panels of your car so there are no exposed wires. It is practically invisible when you get it set up properly.
I'd like to sell this pretty much as one lot. If you want an individual item, we'll work something out. Please, don't post bids here. PM me with your offers, or email me for super-fast reply.
Thanks for reading!

Soooo, yeah.
BUMP.
'cause this is still for sale.

Any dock for Galaxy S?

e.g. Speaker dock, normal dock for charging,etc
Because i see a lot of dock on iphone, but no dock for android phone?
It would be very useful.

Trouble is, with the USB connector on the top, the normal 'drop in' operation of a dock is not workable.

This is not a dock, but a homemade stand

good job
it reminds me of the old Casio watch boxes
those makes great phone stands

Btw, there are official docks now..
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&returnurl=
So yes.. Possible, and definitely workable..

a bit expensive, and bulky for the car, but it works

There are proper Car docks too (which are very expensive I feel), but they also apparently change the phones profile when you plug it in (so goes to navigation probably). http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-s-o...aled-desk-car-docks-dlna-hd-streamer-1197250/ Probably also comes with car charger and such
I probably would consider the car dock personally if the GPS fix in september DOES actually work.

The home and car dock apps are now released for Samsung Captivate. So I would say there's a good chance the the official docks will be coming out in a month or two.
To download the apps from the market, you need to have a Captivate phone. Good thing that there's work around. Download My Market from the market, launch it, set provider to US T-Mobile, and search for Samsung.

Is that a 3.5mm audio-out in the back of that dock? I wonder if you could output to both the 3.5mm on the phone and the dock at the same time, probably not but would be interesting.

What is the actual app called? Searching for Samsung brings up hundreds of apps.

Kidigi make one too
w w w .kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1202
The Samsung one is a beaut though, damnit why are all the accessories out of stock?

Hey, so I have found those two stands that are compatible with the SGS, it may worth checking out, since I cannot really post links here it goes

w w w.mobilefun.co.uk/desk-genie-non-slip-charging-desk-stand-p22432.htm
let me know if you already have them and give a quick review if you can.
cheers.

Here is one for the T-Mobile Vibrant I don't see why it won't fit the other models as well
http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com/samsung-t959-vibrant-battery-charger-ECR-D979BEGSTA.aspx

I've got a desk genie... [actually mine was an advertisement for a pharmaceuticals company, but the same thing]
I wouldn't call it a cradle tbh since it's just a highly rubberised surface, the USB hub is nice for charging/syncing. I've not tried placing the phone horizontally on it yet.
The sound sphere looks interesting. tbh I'm really after a desk-cradle; something you physically insert the device into and sync up

Any luck finding a car dock with "integrated" usb-charger?

just got mine in today... it's legit badass. very sturdy and it's a suction cup that actually holds suction. the actually phone holder offers 360 degrees rotation and tilt. i give it two thumbs up!

I just got one from http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/26866 for a little under $33 delivered. I have used Cellularaccessory (the OP's source) in the past and found them very helpful as well.
The mount is "OK" in my book. While nicely made and holds the phone well, it isn't anywhere near as adjustable as I would like in terms of angles. There is only a small amount of adjustability in the ball joint that connects the cradle to the arm, perhaps +/- 20 degrees.
Another drawback is it launches the &*^%ing car-mode app/screen and ties it to the home button, which makes for a less-than-useful phone (until I can figure out how to customize that app away).
On the plus side, the lever for the suction cup is very easy to use (much better than, for example, the twist-to-lock used by TomTom).
I also like that there isn't stress on the phone's micro-USB connector. That connector has been a failure point on other phones.
It includes a standard Samsung CLA, which may or may not be able to provide the 1.1A that the T959V can take to charge. I use a USB cable and the Elago 1A (dual) CLA-to-USB which lets me charge the phone, as well as a headset/speakerphone from a single socket. Apparently Amazon has seen enough sales of the Elago line (love their Nano II microSDHC reader) that they have picked them up themselves. JoWow has been good in the past for many orders and Elago items (they were previously the only Amazon-related source).
I'll probably end up ditching the suction-cup arm and figuring out how to better mount the cradle. From what I have read, it isn't the industry-standard pattern, so it will have to be something custom.

I actually made my own mount using a cheap piece of crap mount off Amazon and my old Magellan GPS mount. I took the front part that actually holds the phone, and used a dremel tool to cut new holes in the back so that it would slide on to the arm assembly of the GPS mount. Fits perfect and looks awesome. Best of all, it doesn't fall off my windshield anymore!

Anyone have an issue using a bluetooth headset while docked? It seems to disable unless I undock, make call, and redock.

I was actually thinking about getting:

It mounts to the CD player.

Make sure you let us know how that works out. It's interesting... But what if you wanna mess around with your cd player?
What about the ac vents? Perfect spot. Ready to reach, out of the way of everything...

Official car holder by HTC

Hi guys,
recently bought a few car holders - they were cheap and broke after a month.
I've decided to to buy one that will survive longer and came across this:
htc.com / smartphones / accessories / htc-car/
As you can see, HTC promises this to come out this month - April.
Does anyone know anything about this holder?
Can you suggest another good, quality holder?
p.s.
I'm only interested in holders that are tailored for the phone - don't want any generic ones that change their size.
Thanks you.

My first post on xda forums and you all are already dumbfounded?
Come on guys, I need ur help

Hey, i pondered the same thing and ended ordering,
Celly FLEXIPHONE4 (cant post links yet, sorry)... in our supplier info page it said it allso works on htc desire and some nokias.
the phones are allmost same size so that explains it... allso quite cheap and nice looking. I'll inform u when i get it with pictures etc if u like...
so far best looking car holder i could find.. youtube has videos...

Thanks but I gave up on that one cause I want my phone to be with a case.

Check out Arkon products on ebay.
I use one and its lasted a year so far. Not the cheapest but decent quality and lots of different designs available to suit different mobiles.

here is a video for a car holder htc...
P.S. anyone know what is that aux/usb convertitor in the video, and if i can find one for my htc desire s??? thanks

I know this is an old thread but...
No one has mentioned Brodit car holders (eBay/Amazon/etc), they're a Swedish manufacturer. They come in two parts: the bases are specifically designed for your car, sometimes for a particular position (above the dash vents or by the A-pillar) and slot into the edges of the console mouldings; the holders screw onto the bases, are specific to your phone and come in active and passive versions - active versions have a 12V connector built in however the passive holders always allow access to the USB port.
They're not the cheapest but they're robust and secure, no suckers involved, easy to swivel (landscape/portrait). If you change your car, you get a new base part, change your phone, get a new holder. Can't recommend them highly enough. :good:
