The Latter costs twice as much but will it mark the case been dragged in and out all day long.
any input would be appreciated.
Take a look at Brodit carholders/kits. Had one for my Tytn2 and it did the job good. Now i bought one for my HD. There are also many mounts for the holder especially for your car.
Clib for you car
Holder for Touch HD
Sorry is in Dutch
Brodit with the proclip! Excelent quality, won't bounch like some windscreen ones will do.
I can recommend Brodit with ProClip. (http://www.brodit.com/?lang=E)
Everyone here promotes the Brodit holder, but I understand that you have to buy a mounting device for your specific car? I change cars really frequently, so that would mean I would have to buy a new mounting device every time ??
There is a Blackstone accessories section...
Tesco special, £5.99.... what can I say, I'm a cheap slag
Potnoodle anyone?
I have the brodit mount, hardwired into the car (new Ford Mondeo). I do not change cars frequently (every 3 years or so) but do change phones frequently. Brodit is ideal as you can just screw the new mount on your existing clip, and the wiring is not to difficult as well. As I use the tomtom quite a bit on the phone (as I did on the cruise) it is very usefull having it charging all the time while in the car. Can definitely recommend
If you change cars very frequently, the Brodit holder is probably not the best solution.
It is true, that you would need a ProClip for every car you use, so that would be quite expensive.
There are better solutions for that scenarion, I guess.

Well if he changes cars frequently, you can't tell me that a ~30€ clib then is expensive. My Point is Brodit has a good and stable solution without screwing upp you dashboard. When he buyes a new car just me sure the clib is included...with the buy No car salesman will let you go ....
Maybe they're just different rental cars or company cars, in which case I doubt he would always get a new clip.
Otherwise you're right, it should be no problem to get a clip with a new car.

ProclipUSA does not show HTC HD choice on their website. I am in US, and would like to buy the Brodit holder. Any advice? Thanks

i wouldn't recomment the powered holders.
i had one for my HTC TYTNII and it damaged the mini usb socket on the bottom of the handset.
so just get the holder and use a loose charging lead.
so the set up in my car is:-
Brodit holder
on dashmount bracket (its metal and stronger then proclip)
HTC incar charger
THB cc9060 handsfree car kit with A2DP music
Brodit is the one!!

Hi all,
I've seen this item at PCWorld but I can't work out if it's a GPS receiver or just a dashboard mounting kit!
http://www.pcworld.co.uk:80/martprd/product/TOMTOM/GENERIC+IPAQ+CARKIT/024526
The picture is of a Garmin device that does look like a GPS receiver so I'm very confused. If it is just a dashboard mounting kit then why does it say that it's "bluetooth enabled"?
Has anyone got one of these or even seen one? If so, is it a bargain tomtom gps receiver or a badly described, overpriced lump of plastic?
Cheers!
Gadget
Whatever it is, it's not what's in the picture!
That's a wrist-mounted GPS for running/hiking.
See the heartrate monitor strap in the background!

bought my bluetooth gps from www.mobilefun.co.uk for £40. works a treat, five sat fixes even in car glove box
Thanks chaps, I guess if something seems too good to be true then it usually is! I'm going to plump for one of those bargain ones from mobilefun.com after all.
I'll get a dashboard mouting kit too - do you find it better to have your wizard in portrait or landscape with tomtom?
Cheers!

Cheapo GPS mount
I have an ultra cheap vent pount for a phone (about £2 from Tesco). My TT bluetooth GPS fits snugly into that.

Another couple of bonuses with this receiver are that it uses a mini USB socket to charge and comes with an in-car charger so this doubles as a free in car charger for the mini S!, also uses the same batttery as many current Nokia mobile phones (BL-5C) which means spare batteries are easy to get hold of.
Wow, £40 isn't bad is it?
I paid £35 for a wired one for my Palm!!
Shame it says 7-14 day delivery.

Mine was delivered in 18 hours!!! ordered at 15:00 in the afternoon, arrived in the post at 9am the next morning. guess they had stock at the time though
I ordered mine from mobilefun on monday morning this week along with some other stuff, by monday evening I had a SMS saying they'd part shipped the order, minus the receiver :roll: Oh well.
The receiver does still have a 7-14 day estimated shipping time - I just hope they can still get it! I'll let you know when/if it arrives.....
Check out the range available already...

Do we know for sure that these accessories are working? I heard somebody say that his Tytn car charger did not work with the Kaiser.
I know the Boxwave USB car charger (the 1 amp version) works -- I bought it for my Wizard a year ago & have used it with my Kaiser.

Most TyTn/Hermes accys should be fine. I plugged my Kaiser into my 8525 chargers and even a Sedio tyTn Charge cradle base and they all work fine.
Folks,
Just buy the Motorola charging devices (mini-usb), they work fine with my Wizard and my Kaiser as well!!
Greets,

i ordered 2 sync cables 2 weeks ago and they never arrived. my credit card company is going to dispute the charge. boxwave said to email them by the 25th and they would resend the order. i never had a problem like this before and i have been ordering online for years. i have dealt with boxwave in the past and had quick shipping.
i ordered and received a Boxwave screen protector but it's too long and doesn't fit. i'm waiting for a response so i can return it. think i'll stick with Martin Fields, that is, assuming they have one for the Tytn II.
As I mentioned in another topic, go with P3300 screenprotectors. They are identical in size.

Just ordered a Brodit Active Holder for my Kaiser. It is really nice since you can also use it horizontally and slide out the keyboard...
just out off curiosity: where have you ordered your brodit active holder, and what did it cost??
The cheapest I found was here: http://www.pdaplus.nl/catalog/brodit-m-1.html Although it is not in stock right now... But I emailed them and they said they are expecting the first shipment end of this week beggining of next. So I went ahead and ordered one since they are the cheapest.

2. http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=157108&asource=154149 fullduplex carkit.... and if you ever buy a different device you can always just buy a different holder.... http://www.carcomm.nl they make stuff for a lot of devices... I just find it a bit too expensive.

Yes, that is what I looked for..
but indeed, the price is really high..and as far as i can see, no possibility to use the keyboard.
I hope your Brodit Activ holder will satisfy.
My order shipped yesterday so I hope to get it today already... I shall report as soon as I get it and install it...
My Holder has arrived...
Well I am impressed. I use Brodit Proclip already for a while, and still have a holder for my MDA PRO, but this is just perfect... Stable and, we dutch say, "Degelijk". Extremely happy with it. Turn it and the device is in horisontal stand and if you slide the keyboard TOMTOM is changing orientation as well. The Place where the mini USB connector sits is completely sealed, I think it is molded although you see a seam , but I think it is glued not with a glue but by heat. So I am afraid you can not just take it apart...
Mine will be here tomorrow. Got upgraded shipping from proclipusa.com since my order was delayed due to stock issues.
Cannot wait to get this mounted in the truck. I've had a proclip mount for my Axim for years now.
I use the mount from these guys for my iPod.
I'll be getting one from them for my Tilt
http://www.proclipusa.com/home/home.aspx
i'm sad i ordered the whole mount thing from proclip...
Your order has been placed on back order. Unfortunately, we are out of stock on item number 971752. The ESTIMATED ship date for your order is 11/02/2007.
i hate waiting for new toys.
I bought a windsheild mount PDA holder from ebay a while back and it worked okay but it was cheaply made and it wound up breaking. The phone fell right out of it one day and hit the shifter. I am lucky the screen didnt break.
Anyway, I am looking for a new one and I would like one that can rotate so I can use it in landscape orientation as well, or even with the keyboard expanded. Does such a beast exist?
I would like to see what recomendations you guys have on this. I have searched online at cell accessory shops and there's alot to choose from but many look like the cheaply made one I am trying to replace.
I bought mine from one of those "we sell everything for your phone!" stalls in a market.
Has adjustable width (spring-loaded with cushioned side bits for grip), the arm can bend anywhere you like, and the windscreen mount is a suction cup with a kinda plastic 'lock' (like on a tomtom) to hold it securely.
Hasn't budged since I bought it several months ago for another handset.
Try a market stall, that's my advice. Paid about a tenner (gbp).
In fact... just found a link to the exact same thing. fiver. bargain
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/12635.htm?referer=GS-GEN_WINHOL-P-12635-B-390542-01
Cool, found a few of them for sale from merchants in the States. Thanks for the info!
Got mine at Best Buys.
I've have this one, from Expansys. It's a bit more expensive than the one mentioned, but depending on the durability, this one could last through several different phones.

I've had no problems with it so far!

Bracketron
I got my holder, a bracketron universal holder from best buy for around $30.00
it has an adjustable grip, and can accomodate most devices. It also swivels so that I can use my tilt in either landscape or portrait.
Bracketron here also...
I didn't get the windshield mount though. The one i purchased locks on to the air vent, but bracketron makes the same mount with a flexible-arm windshield mount (suction cup), or you can buy the arm part seperately.
Very pleased with it so far: foam-rubber grip where it contacts the phone, rotates, locks tightly by simply squeezing and releases with the push of a button.
Bought it at Best Buy, $19.95 US.

Can anyone suggest a good car charger to use, seeing as HTC apparently doesn't make one for the Fuze?
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Same one as the Kaiser, Hermes, Wizard.... I have several my oldest dates back to my Wizard they all work great wiht the Fuze.

Do you know where I can get one? Any online stores?
I went to my local electronics store (Frys) and bought a usb car adapter thing, so I just plug in my usb cable to the charger and bam. Best $4.00 I ever spent. Also works great for my ipod.
