Does anyone have any opinions / experience on either of these windshield mounts for the Kaiser from fleabay?
ebay# 160328760897 $24.95 Hong Kong free shipping
ebay# 220399045362 $15.99 stateside
I looked at a few on ebay and read the reviews and ended up buying one from my local tescos supermarket for £6.78 works fine for me was a bit concerned because of the cheap price but it has not let me down so far.
I don't recommend the second one because it is flexy and when you drive the phone shakes which makes hard to follow the gps program.
The first one does not shake (I used both) and I'm happy with it.Also purchased from the same HK seller.Dont expect the quality but it is useful.

can anyone suggest where i can get this adapter in the US? i searched on ebay and all the ones are from another country.
I picked one up at Fry's Electronics for $2.99
Cingular stores also sell them
Some RadioShack stores also have them. Just make sure you really get the "Stereo" one

click on the "Available at most stores, find it near you" link on that page to see which store near you have it.
I got mine from the TreoCentral store.
I bought like 3 different ones untill I got the one from Brando and i have got to say it is by FAR the best ... Hama kept loosing contact so my phone would go to speaker mode after some time which was very annoying since people look funny when it starts playing.. but basically my suggestion is : get brando and nothing else .. same with display protectors, Brando wins in my opinion.
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

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.
Any with a power supply hookup that are made specifically for the Kaiser?

check out brodit. They have ones that allow the screen to slide out and tilt, and have a cable to charge the device.
Their US reseller is proclipusa.com. to find a retailer in another country head over to brodit.com

I didn't want to spend too much money on a windshield mount. I just purchased a mount with a built in power supply from ebay for under $20. I'll report how it holds up when I get it.

OMG! That's awesome! If Best Buy's return policy didn't suck I would take mine back and get this one.

I use this one, made for the job and works really well.

Just had an email from them... half price apparently!

Limited numbers of course and we're only allowed 2 each...!!!
I've not followed any Shift discussion fora few months, but am interested to see what people here think...
Does £500 represent good value for this thing, given all the advances you guys seem to have made?
Ferg.
Well I was impressed, as that's now only a bit more than I paid for a second hand (though not used) Italian Shift I bought on Ebay... but £499 for something that you have to do so much to do make it usable is a bit of laugh really. I can't believe Expansys was selling ANY at £949
I bought one as I love HTC and have had their devices for years now and wanted an UMPC so I could always carry my work with me (paid employment type work as well as university degree coursework which includes some programming and maths software that needs a full PC). Before I went for the Shift, I thought I'd try some with a smaller form factor as the screen size seemed excessive for my needs, but I was wrong! I tried the OQO 01+ (WAY TOO SMALL and rubbish keyboard) and also a Vaio U390 (very expensive and very pretty but again keyboard too small for me and was surprisingly awkward and uncomfortable to use). Then I bought a Shift and have been fiddling to make it as good as possible ever since!
Am really hoping for SD access from WinMo side, the phone wouldn't be useful for me but just having a decent amount of memory in WinMo would mean I can use the Windows side less for email and calendar type functions and actually make good use of the GPS with my TomTom software.
Having said that I have a car mount and cigarette lighter charger so it's only when I'm on the train that I have power problems (when I don't need SatNav anyway!) so actually I don't even need the SD access, but it'd be nice
So yes, it has lots going for it, so long as you don't mind reinstalling both operating systems provided on it and not wanting to ever be too far from mains power!
WHAT !! according to google thats $1095.55613 Australian!
Here I paid $712.03 AUD (324.312884 GPB) - yes it was new (http://www.google.com.au/search?cli...3+aud+in+gbp&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)
Where on earth did you buy a new HTC Shift for $700 AUD? Back of a truck bargain was it
thats how much they are from cell-com - but i have since looked elsewhere and the going price seems to be around $850 - $950 AUD
Try $1300 AUD...standard price....

It seems both of those sellers only ship to Australian addresses. =/
It is a great price and I wish I could ship it from there to the US, sadly this does not seem to be an option.
I want to buy the shift (the ROM which enables phone is very close now..).
The price of the australian expansys is just great.I couldn't believe it!
But I live in Europe.
i) is shipping from au possible / does it cost much?
ii) will toll taxes be huge?
iii) can the "australian" shift work in eu? I mean GSM or anything other.
Shift Pricing
Apoparis,
The www.pressdigital.com.au units are genuine HTC Australia stock - and as a local HTC dealer, are not allowed to be exported (at least there's no warranty if they're exported!).. But if you're REALLY keen can get one picked up via Fedex or TNT from one of the local pickup points (eg Press Digital allow collection from Pymble) - Then you're onto a winner.
Given HTC internationally are clearing the line, the "good deals" should be available from all the HTC dealers - BUT there's virtually none left anywhere.
Have fun!

You don't say where you are from but i have read from other posts that the AT&T Stores have a good selection thats if you live in the USA ,Me Personally get everything i need for the KAISER of EBAY Cheap and Quality is good if you look right!!!!!!!!
Careful with ebay - I've bought 2 (!) charging/docking cradles, and neither one actually holds my TyTn2 properly. Waste of money.
Im located in Florida, USA. And i agree with wolfea, id like to stay away from ebay. ATT stores dont have a good selection now since the iPhone came out, they seem to stock acessories catered to the iphone users.

I'm in FL also & have used this site a few times.
Rec'd items in just a couple of days (they're in FL also)
i have used cellphoneshop.net cheap and easy

Point proven - I've finally just bought one from a standard online shop (UK based, no japan knockoff crap) and it works like a gem. Snug
I'm trying to find a case online for my A500 in Canada but struggling.
I want a folio style with the 'clips' holding the tablet and preferably a magnetic cover. I think the ACase is the closest but every time I find one on Amazon it says it wont ship to Canada !?
Does anyone know of a reputable online store (preferably inexpensive) that I could find one.
I prefer not to use Ebay etc.
Any help would be great.
I'm in the same boat as you. For a while I was using the Acer case but it was pretty sucky so I returned it. In the meantime until I find something good here in Canada as well I have my tab, bluetooth keyboard and stand all in a netbooks sleeve. It does the job for now. If I ever find something I'll let you know!
I bought the Case Crown case when it was $1.00 and paid $10.00 all in including shipping. I would watch these guys to see if they have other cases as well.

It took about 3 weeks to arrive but well worth the wait. The only thing is the one on the link is not a clip style. All of the ports are accessible through it though.
Good luck!
I got the case crown bold for !one cent plus shipping at Xmas,had to wait three weeks for deliver. Check out Amazon.ca. saw a case with Bluetooth keyboard to sixty.
