Phone Holder - Touch Cruise
I use the same one for the Phones what ever have at hand.
Prophet, Touch, Touch Cruise ect.
an A2
well the cup holder of an Audi A2.
its just in the right place not to get in your way and no marks on the windscreen to say 'IN HERE - IN HERE you should find a TomTom or something in here just break glass'
why not check your local car park for one then look how high the cup holder is located. compared to other cars.
I know its not what you wanted but at lest you have a reply and it might make some people think of what they have at hand.
i have orbit2 - litlle different design, but i got one with device (o2 UK). Or in other car I have krusell Windshield using with Artemis case(leather) more less orbit2 fits in(except the hole for camera - so U cannot make photos whilst driving ) I U want I can send U foto of holders.
Thank you all,
If you have some links to a universal Phone Holder - Touch Cruise it could be nice.
Thank you !
I have a Tilt.. i brought a windshield mount from best buy for about $30 in the car audio dept.. It good quality and the points where it hold the phone are adjustable incase u have buttons on the side of your phone. The cheap one i had kept hitting the camera button if it wasnt loose enough

Nice
I'm going to need one of these when my Artemis arrives within a couple of days. Not sure but i think that it comes with a holder for the car in the box. Anyway just wanted to say that you should stay away from the holders that attach to the heating vents of the car. My unlce who works for Cisco Systems told me that they have been flagged by his company because it apparently is not good for the device.Not sure if this is true but just wanted to give this community a heads up on this one. I say you go for the suction holders.

The P3300 comes with a car holder, which looks very much like the brodit holders oddly enough...
Also comes with a windcreen suction mount and a natty HTC car charger (witch shiny chrome HTC embossed on it)
You only get the car charger, windscreen mount and 512MB Transflash card with the Premium version (this is the one with full TomTom mapping included) - well thats what the manual states, I got all three "extras" with mine - Mike
I didn't get any accessories with my device. I just got the base unit with the manuals, etc. I need a car mount.

Hey Neptune,
I see what you are saying, but thousands upon thousands of very satisfied customers and no damaged devices, along with rigourous controlled tests really do mean you are worrying about this without a valid cause!
Thanks
Bryson
anyone know of any other holder/charger units for the artemis? £40 quid is kinda expensive!
It Sucka

Perjan, thanks for the heads up. For £40 i would be expecting top build quality.
Brodit holder for UK O2 XDA Orbit
The Orbit is basically an Artemis with a redesigned shell....
Does anyone know if the Orbit will fit into an Artemis / Brodit holder?
Cheers
Chris
hi
the orbit usb port is located slightly differently to the P3300 i believe it is only millimeters out but could make a difernence. I heard Brodit were making a holder specific to the Orbit for that reason.
Re comments above about vent holders i used one for 2 years with a IPAQ 5550 and had no issues at all.(infact in the summer it was a bonus as the ai con helped keep the device cool)
I find they are not so suitable for the Orbit as the clip/holder that is stuck to the device is not Orbit friendly.and if i use the clip that came with the Pdair case it hangs forward.
i use a suction mount with the side grip bars and it works great with the PDair case.
Well I have the brodit mount for the Artemis and it works well with the Orbit. It arrived after I read this post and I was aware it might not fit exactly so I gently bent the connector on the mount and it now fits perfectly and I am more than happy with it.
I am now just awaiting the brodit pro clip to attach it to the dashboard over the air vent. As I do not want to leave the screen mounted holder in the car due to last attempted break in!
Just to confirm only gentle pressure is needed to align the connection to fit perfectly to the Orbit so well worth the money in my opinion.
Hi,
Ordered my Orbit, and looking forward to it - may have finally got an XDA that I'll keep long term. Have had II, IIi, S, mini, Exec, so it would be nice if so!
My first post for a while - as usually the info I want I can find in a search. Except this one!
I'd really like a case for the Orbit - either a skin-type, or the alum' one. However I also need a car holder for it, with tough UK no-mobile-phones in cars rules insisting on this. Ideally one with a power speaker & mic, like the up-coming Seidio.
The question - does anyone know of a case/car holder combo that works together without having to remove the PDA from the case? I know you can get the cases with a magnetic back and corresponding holder, however would rather avoid this approach if possible.
Oh - and just to clarify, the case needs to still be pocket sized, so the usual large clip things sticking out the back will be no good. Maybe someone has "invented" their own solution? I figure the alum' one is modifiable, so am thinking that may be the best bet - just need some ideas for mounting! (esp' bearing in mind would like a active powered holder).
Thanks all!
I think you will struggle to find an active mount with speaker due to the audio output being part of the mini USB connector on these devices.
Take a look at Brodit 848714 for a passive holder or Brodit 968714 for an active version (charging only). These are just the holders, you will need a Pro-Clip to suit your vehicle, I also recommend a "Move it" clip between the Pro-Clip and the holder, it makes removal quick and efficiant, leaving just the small pro-clip in the vehicle (less chance of some low-life breaking in because a mount is on show). - These are quality holders, not the cheapest, but then do you want your new toy flying around the car due to a crappy mount?
For the audio output you could use Bluetooth - I have had my Artemis connected via BT and playing through the car stereo, a little low in volume but the quality was very good - Mike
Cheers Mike,
I've already got the brodit system - used it with both the IIi and S, so have the bracket etc. The brodit holders will not allow for any type of case (skin, alum, etc) - and I cannot see how to modify them to suit. The brodit bracket itself is just a platform, so have used with many other holders.
The Seidio case I refered to is (yet to be released):
http://www.handnav-hosting.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2373
I guess what I'm hoping for is a brand that makes a case, plus a compatible car holder that supplies at least power.
Worse case I'll most likely get alum pdair case, stick a magnet to the back, and just plug in a charge cable each time (and use bluetooth car-kit).
Thanks,
My solution
I have a siemens hcw600 bluetooth car kit - works superbly if you install jetware and the address book swap. DId this on my Mini S and now on my new Orbit...
I also got a standatd multi-way pda adapter off eby... if you get one with adjustable feet on the bottom, put the Orbit in, connect the usb, then slide the feet tight up to the usb... then add a few strategic drops of superglue to the feet and usb, and you have a fixed connector... this also works if the unit is i a case - just make sure its in the case and positioned before you clue the usb to the holder....
Great sounding tip - may give that a go! I did notice that the Orbit is now thin (width) enough to fit lots of mobile phone holders on their widest setting.
Going to review one of these new PDAHut mounts in the mean time.... Will let you know what it's like.
Hello,
I wanted to get a car holder for my MDA Compact III,
do you guys recommend an air vent car holder or a windscreen mount phone holder?
Have a look at the Brodit range they do a nice holder active and passive and a number of options to hold the unit in your car. I use the Brodit and HR holders in my vehicle - have a read of http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/broditartemis.php for a few details - Mike
thanks for the reply,
is the HR one the windscreen mount phone holder?
The write up contained Brodit products, only one part was the HR holder coupled to the Brodit Pro-Clip, you can see the three pictures using the HR Holder around the text -
"The HR mount is supplied with a flexible arm and windscreen suction cup, I much prefer the Brodit Pro clip as it provides a more stable mounting solution that is vibration free."
or read my post at this link http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modul...pic&t=48131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=51
Both Brodit and the HR units can be used with a winscreen holder or Pro clips, an edless choice of options depending on the vehicle and phone - Mike
thanks for the reply,
i am a bit confused as to how to select the car holder. i am a bit concerned as to if the car holder would fit the MDA copact III.
i checked in the t-mobile store and they are doing something for 10 pounds. the upside is if it does not fit, i can return it.
but then i be limited to a certain choice.
not sure if i should be going for something that attaches to the vents or something that sticks to the windscreen.
i came across this one
http://www.lhdigital.co.uk//product_info.php?cPath=6_127&products_id=126
is there much between two holders?
Its quite a simple choice to be honest, are you happy to entrust a cheap £10 holder from the shop that can mount a mutitude of devices or get a specific holder that has a degree of quality about it?
I have a T-Mobile generic holder and its CR*P - I certainly wouldn't use it to hold a device worth around £400 - your choice - the position is down to what suits you and the style of mount/ Pro clip available for your car - or go with the cheap offerings and take a chance - Mike
thanks for the reply mike,
i think i will go with a nice decent holder.
i looked ath the herbert rickter mount in the post, and the verdict is that it vibrates.
would it be correct to say that all windscreen mounts vibrate?
i have been using the regular tomtom on the windscreen. so i am used to that.
does a pda on the air vent enable easy viewing for navigation purposes (i guess one gets used to it)
are all the herbert richter's the screen mounts.
what is pro clip?

Well I trust my device to a £3.50 flexible windscreen mount from ebay, and it works perfectly!
I've tried vent mounts, but they are generally rubbish - but it could be my vents! I've tried magnetic ones but they don't stick to my dash - it could be my dash! So far, the windscreen one has been perfect! Although it did wiggle about a bit until I 'adjusted' it by getting it to rest against the instrument console. Not a judder out of it now! and I highly recommend it and the £36.50 saving

thanks for the reply stunno,
what is the make of your windscreen mda holder?
It was this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160072850929&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:UK:11
but I was mistaken about the price, sorry. It was 99p +£2.99 postage
EDIT: they are being sold by someone else now
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Air-Vent-Moun...ryZ10364QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and the postage is only £1.99
thanks for the reply,
i went to the site and though it says that 5 are available i cant seem to be able to buy it.
i think they are all sold out. if you come across any other holders do let me know.
Search ebay for
"Air Vent Mount Suction Car Holder"
there are quite a few
I personally use a Brodit mount attached to a Dashmout bracket.
The wives Vario also uses a brodit mount but attched using a Brodit Proclip, nice and easy to install.
See attched for my car. Need a new pic with the phone attched.

Since i bought my Optimus One i have been looking for a good car holder. I really hate the suction mounts for the windscreen because they are pretty far away and can be destracting, so the LG SCS-320 accessory was useless to me. Plus i did not find it in stock in any shops in my country.
I searched for some universal mobile phone holders but all i could find were some bad made in china models.
A good friend of mine is the Brodit importer in my country. I had already got the dash mount for my 2008 Opel Astra H. Unfortunately, Brodit don't make a holder for this type of phone, probably because LG already has one, so, temporarily, i was using a Nokia ajustable holder, but that wasn't really what i wanted.
Today i went to his shop and he suggested i look through his stock in search of a mobile phone holder that fits. After 10 minutes i found it. It was a padded holder (very nice because the phone doesn't get scratched) for and old iPhone 2G. It fits perfectly. The product code is 875168 if anybody is intrested.
Pics below:
So, any iphone 2g holder is ok?
Well the Brodit one fits perfectly. Cant guarantee for the others. Its better if u can test it before you buy it.
Do you think a car holder like this would work for the P500? http://www.emag.ro/accesorii-telefo...o-universal-hama-pentru-telefon-mobil--p17658
Don't mind the language though
Of course it will work, it's universal. I wanted something with a bit more quality though.
Nici mie nu imi place limba aia
I got LG's car holder and car charger with my Optimus One when i bought it. It came in same retail package. I can give you exact model. Its SCS-320 theres pic too.
*edit sorry. Just wokeup so i haven't read your post good and missed part about what kinda car holder you are looking for.
Well i already have a car holder (the one in the pics above), just wanted to share it because i thought it may help some people
yeah I like your design better pejte opposed to the one that sticks into the window
It's not my design, they are made by Brodit. I have just tested out a few holders and found one that fit, because they dont make a dedicated holder for this phone.
Sorry for the offtopic: what's the name of that clock widget?
nice idea! only bad thing is you have to screw into the dash...
You don't have to screw anything into the dash. That's the thing with the Brodit products. Go to their website and see the short presentaton clip.
great idea
very nice maybe i will try it.
in what rom are you useing?
Soo Good i have one in my car.
I bought one from walmart I think, hooks up in the car vent, horizontal or vertical, I leave it in horizontal mode for navigation (widescreen). I hook up my phone with my car stereo, and when the call comes in they get routed through car speakers and the mic picks up my voice perfectly fine. Pretty awesome.

I've used a similar car mount, but replaced it now with an X-Grip from Type-S.
I'd post a link or picture but I can't yet, just google search for "x-grip type-s"
I't great because you can adjust the angle of your screen in any way, and it works with the phone in a vertical or horizontal position
Just saw some nice car holders for all the phones on lootspot.com... although it doesnot have international shipping
Wow, it seems very nice. Thanks for sharing.

+1 . I want that
The idea seems really good. Where does your friend have the store located?
Hi,
I dont think my current "multi-purpose" car kit will hold the SGS2 when I get it, its a fair
but wider than my HTC Desire.
I normally have it in the horizontal position if that makes any difference.
I'd like a quality card holder which I can mount on the windscreen via a sucker.
If it can easily swivel from vertical to horiz so much the better. I'm in the UK.
Thanks
D
The best quality mount with sucker is a kensington one. Mine is sturdy well built and can flip to landscape.. I have been through a few.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
This looks like a quality piece of kit. Strangely, the picture looks like two different units.
My last 3 phones have all used Brodit vent mount kits, so I'm on the look-out for their holder.
thanks, it looks like the left photo is a SGS1 ?
I like to be able to film through the windscreen sometimes, just wonder if the camera would be obstructed when in the landscape mode?
my instinct tells me that this is too cheap - search on ebay for:
CAR HOLDER+CHARGER FR SAMSUNG GALAXY S2/ACE/WAVE 2/MINI
its a generic holder - with a car charger - for £4?!?!?!?
im just lookin for something cheap that does the job. any idea if this meets my needs?
thanks
first post!
