Hey guys,
Just wanted to post and say i found a guy on eBay selling OEM (i hope!) car mounts for i9000.
link: http://goo.gl/LHr5z
I just ordered mine a few days ago and im looking forward to getting my hands on it.
I know its too late to ask for details but what is the situation with car vibration for this mount? (i like to record while i'm driving)
I previously had a HTC D1 with OEM mount and it was perfect, then i switched to HTC D2 and i took a cheap $2,99 mount and it was terrible: i broke after 3 days but i managed to glue it back and even make it a bit more stable but the charger was not powerful enought for when i used GPS... so this time i will stick with the original products!
I will post after i get the item and let you know.
Cheers.
at $50 it better be real
holy cow, that's a bit much for a phone stand in the car
I agree, it's not cheep but as I mentioned before the cheep one I took for my previous phone was useless.
Ebay was the only place I could find an OEM car mount and this guy was the only one how had them. Surprisingly I could not find them at any shop here in romania.

I bought one from the same guy, no problems and it seems genuine. It is expensive but includes a good charger, has the USB plug that automatically triggers car dock mode and can output external audio, and the stability and the strength of the windscreen clamp is excellent.
Thanks for the info Beano. Thats good news for the strength of the windscreen suction thing.
It wouldnt accept phone with any skin on it even with slim case-mate

Hi,
Has anyone purchased a car mount for their desire?
My Desire should hopefully arrive tomorrow and I'm trying to get some accessories for it! The car kit is fairly essential, I have the bluetooth radio that supports A2DP so I'm very excited!
Could anyone recommend a decent car mount?
I have a suction one for my N95 but I think I'd rather one that clips into one of the vents.
I`m waiting for Brodit to release one for the desire, supposed to be soon.
I used their active kit for my G2/Hero and its good. Easy to fit into your car, took 5mins, you have to buy depending on your make/model and where you want it mounted.
Look at the 'Desire Accessories':

Had it for several days... its cheap £9.99 and holds the phone and charges it as well! Delivery is megaquick too.
I read somewhere that the nexus one brodit is supposed to work with the desire - who's brave enough to try it now!?

Brodit have told me its imminent and to check the website for release (dsldevelopments dot com) within 14 days.
I've used them for years, just replacing the holder on the mount for each new phone.
MOD EDIT - Moved to Accessories forum

Silly question, but wont the Brodit Mobile Phone Active Holder Tilt Swivel for Nexus One be ok for the Desire? It's on the dlsdevelopments website.

Ask brodit theyre fast at resonding. I`d say it might not work as the connections might not align up. I`d try and wait a few weeks for the desire one
to appear.

I emailed them and they said it wouldnt fit due to the clearance being 0.1mm
We're out of stock of Nexus One - but we get some I will test it.
Desire Brodit are on the site coming soon - but there is no date.

Really liked the look of this but I have an Audi A3 and the car cigarette lighter is housed within the ashtray about 3 inches from the outer dashboard. I doubt the trailblazer will fit.
Also it looks like the holding parts would go right over the volume controls on the Desire like it does on the HD2.
MINI WEIGHTED CUSHION FRICTION MOUNT with UNIVERSAL HOLDER for MOBILES SMART PHONES MP3 (SKU 5043)
I have just ordered this one for my desire, wanted something that wasnt a sucker mount and I dont like the airvent mounts, I also wanted something that meant that I could turn the desire from horizontal to vertical very easily without having to dismantle the device or struggle in doing so, lastly I wanted something that meant I could easily fit into another car quickly if i needed it, found this and it seems to fit the bill nicely, I have read up on the reviews on this mount with a garmin attatchment and they have all come back hugely favourable, love the fact that if i wanted to add another phone to the mount in the future all i have to do is to buy another back plate instead of the entire mount. was sceptical at first haven never seen a friction dash mount before but after reading the reviews and watching the video on the link i have provided and it only being £18.32 inc delivery i thought why not, will post up when i have received it and let you know how it is
buybits.com/product.aspx?id=5043
I have ordered the Nexus Brodit mount and it in fact does not fit as the Desire is 0.5mm wider and thicker.
So i have now ordered the Desire one from morpethmobiles.co.uk and should be receiving early next week so will post some pics

As I have said here, I think they may be selling the Nexus mount as the Desire mount.
i suspect that aswell because i talked to brodit directly 3/4 days ago and they said it should take at least 2 weeks for the holder to be available.
<START RANT>
It annoys me some shops are selling Nexus accessories as Desire ones - like this dock and also Clove are marketing the Proporta Alu Leather case for both the Nexus and the Desire.
If Brodit and Proporta think it necessary to redesign their accessories to fit the Desire, shops shouldn't be selling the Nexus versions as if they were designed for the Desire. I am sure Brodit and Proporta would have been delighted if their existing accessories would fit as they would increase their market without all the new R&D costs.
I would be very annoyed if I bought something as designed specifically for the Desire, only to find in a few weeks that the manufacturer had brought out a version that really was designed just for the Desire.

Thats rubbish, if it is then i'll kick off big time
hi folks!last night i was looking around the web for a Car dock for my n1,and i found there are not many that hook on the dashboard (hate to have it on my windscreen,blocks the view).
I even looked for the Google official c.d, but it appears they are not selling it any more or not available for Greece
Could you experienced folks tell me which dashboard N1 holders are good? Are you using any?
thanx
would you recommend this one?

http://www.amazon.com/Type-AC30267-60-XGrip-Universal-Holder/dp/B001PRPBB0
was using one of these until i upgraded to the HTC Car Dock worked pretty well
i looked for the HTC one,but it's out of stock almost everywhere,or it will be too expensive
i m looking for a cheap system,preferably maximum 30euros(around $60 i think)
i was thinking of looking for a "flexible neck" adapter,so that i can only change that,as my dad uses that for his GPS device
its a last resort,but i doubt i can find anything mountable on dashboard,and due to my car's vents( colt cz3) i dont know how compatible them "vent mountable" holders will be
i checked in proclip site but they didnt list my car
nexus one mounts
this site has a cool selections on car mounts check it out. http://www.amzer.com/HTC/HTC-Nexus-One-accessories.htm
I have had i-phones forever until i found the amazing N1 - I always used a cheap 30 dollar car mount for my Iphones and when i bought the N1 i found that if fits damn nicely into the iphone 3g mount for this specific dock.
The dock is a
Griffin windowseat that i bought at best buy - it fits snugly in what is intended for iphone 3g. I use it daily and would recommend it - i trimmed the ghost armor i have on the phone on all 4 corners where the dock holds the phone.
here is a link if you want - i mount mine just under the rear-view mirror!
Best buy
got this installed in my mitsubishi lancer ralliart! mounted it to my handbrake! there is a microphone mounted on the holder! just had to plug it in to the ciggarette lighter jack and a cable to the AUX on my stereo! and voila handsfree kit for 25 pounds!
really well made! fits the phone "like a glove"

MMmmm, that is pretty
Really really nice car holder
wow very nice
does it work with a case on?

was going to ask this question aswell? Does it?
I bought one of these when they first came out - really excellent, as are all Kidigi holders. The speaker and microphone are high quality, good enough to allow you to use it easily as a hands-free kit. No distortion to the speaker, but the colied cable is a bit of a pain as it can put tension on the cord clamp at the speaker end - I wish they's make these things with a straight cord!
Other than that I'd strongly recommend this active holder. Works brilliantly with SatNav as well!
It does not work with a case on - it's designed to fit the phone, not the zillions of different case designs that you can get for the DHD.
That is one big ass connector, i bought this one

so good so far.
I ordered one from that company. They did not advise me that they were out of stock untill they had my money.
I am still waiting six weeks later. I will not be using them again and would reccomend others going to a more reliable vendor.
I just purchased one from the distributor listed on the manufacturers website.
Free shipping world wide and only $49.90 USD.

I've had the same problem with MobileFun; ordered a Desire HD case with kickstand - knowing it was out of stock for "1 to 2 weeks" - six weeks later, their website still states the same and no item. I cancelled the order and bought from Expansys with no delay and £5 cheaper too...
If your like me you get annoyed when you buy a car mount and it break or doesnt stay on your windshield or mounted right. Well i finally found a very cheap mount that works like a champ from a company call tmart. I added a video review and heres the URL http://www.tmart.com/MP-Series-360-Degree-Car-Mount-Holder-for-Cell-Phone-4G-3G_p127462.html

I've been needing to get a new car phone mount since my old $30 one broke like cheap plastic.. good review, will check it out thanks.

You can get these from Amazon as well - more expensive but looks like more or less the same thing. I purchased a couple. They are compact and fold away when you're not using them, which I like for visibility and also because I can fold it up and take it with me if I travel and use a rental car. My wife dash mounted hers and it is holding up well. I found that my windshield mounted one gets dragged askew if I have a power cable plugged into it - this could be a loose ball joint so your mileage may vary. Regardless, pretty good mount for the price.
Here's the Amazon URL.
I use my N4 for navigation and to monitor my car's ODBII output. I needed a windshield mounted holder that was secure but easy to install/remove.
There are a bunch on ebay from China but I wanted one faster so I found a US supplier. Very simple design that could be used for most any bar type device; phone, iPod, GPS ...
For $4.65 I cannot complain: Universal phone holder
The seller shipped fast with a USPS tracking number.
Does it stick to the windshield firmly? I never actually bought one of these before so I'm a bit skeptical about how well it'll work since it's from a eBay seller.

Yup, you can't pull it off. You have to use the release to remove it. We've had temperatures from 30-70F and it's still stuck.
Thanks, about to buy one.
bought one.. how long did it take to arrive?
I hope it'll arrive to Canada fast. The seller shipped it but didn't provide a tracking number.... weird :S

It arrived in less than a week, I don't recall the exact time period, sorry.
I switched the mount to my 1994 Blazer and back again without issue. I mention this because old windshields tend to collect "stuff" on them and sometimes things don't stick well. I did not clean the windshield, it just stuck on.
Shipping time
I just checked, I purchased it April 3rd, it arrived April 8th.:cyclops:
Yeah, mine came pretty fast. Came in a couple of days.
And this thing is pretty awesome for a car holder. It does feel a bit cheap and you probably will have to be bit more careful with it, but basically, stick it and forget is the motto for this thing.
4.5/5 is my rating for this.
Sent from my Nexus 4
still happy
I've been using mine for about a month, multiple car changes, it still works as advertised. The only issue is if you goo over REALLY rough roads it tends to bounce around a bit. I just lower it so that the bottom touches the dash and the issue goes away.
I think I'll buy two more for my other cars so I don't have to keep swapping it out.
That's an Exogear knockoff.
