I'm looking for a car-mount that will fit the Wizard.
I don't want a speaker or any connectors, just a mount, preferably with lots of foam so it doesn't squeek and rattle. I also don't want a 'window sucker' model.
I've googled it but can't find anything that says it will work with the Wizard.
Anyone seen/got one that will fit?
Me to.
I've been using Brodit mounts for the last couple of years but I keep swaping cars (between my own and a company one) recently.
This is the most promising one I've found so far.
http://www.arkon.com/pdamount.php
I like the look of this one because when I get a better case (flip type) there should be room to mount with it left in side.
Nice
Good range. Arkon only do a 'sucker' windshield mount for the jam/k-jam though.
Still looking.
Is there a UK site with them?
Any ideas when K-Jam accessories will appear? I want some screen protectors and don't like cutting bigger ones down to size.
Boxwave do some screen protectors and do ship to the UK.

The Arkon kit CM910 has a vent, sticky Dash and suction cup mount included.

I think expansys do some Arkon Kit.

Edit : I forgot to mention that Halfords do a expanding Phone Vent mount I think it's about £15.
Brodit is introducing a passive mount early this month (presumably 1st half).
Although I have not found any retailer selling it at the moment.
Cool I''ve been holding out for that one But I might get a cheap suction holder for the other cars I use.
I just bought a cheap HR Richter mini holder while I await a Brodit active holder.
Doesn't make sence for me to buy a passive holder now and an active holder in a while.
Brodit has released their mount for the wizard. I started a thread on HoFo

I'm using a plain old simple magnetic car holder from carphone warehouse which works just fine for me. £5 from carphonewarehouse - job done.

Halfords has a universal holder for £14.99 that held my Vario very securely when I tried it in the shop and did not obscure the speakers or the USB port. It came with a window sucker and a sticky pad option. I'm not sure if there were clip or magnetic options as well.
Tesco have a universal holder for £4.97 that clips to the air vents. It was in a bubble pack and I could not tell whether it would open wide enough. But I don't suppose Tesco would object to a refund if it didn't, since there is no way to try before you buy.
Further to my post above I just bought a universal holder from a Vodafone shop for £5.00. It has air vent and sticky pad options and a slick/smooth adjustment operation - better than other units I tried for £10+. There is a gap at the bottom for headphones and USB charging if needed.
I don't like the idea of blowing hot air all over the back of the phone for hours in the middle of winter so I've plumped for the sticky option. I have yet to test it on the move with the Vario attached. I'll leave it overnight for the adhesive to stay stuck and then see how it goes.

I've got one on my wizard and it looks great. I messed the first one up and i stuck the wrong side down on the screen and it gave an oil kind of effect on the screen, i'm sure the peel off sticker was on the wrong side, anyway i binned that and used one of the others i got and now it looks and fits great. had it on a few weeks now and its not scratched yet.
my last boxwave screen protector lasted over a year.

No, the "base" only sticks out 3 or 4mm
This is the stuff I have bought for my G1.
I will post pics, to try and help anyone trying to make a decision on what to buy.
(alot of credit goes to ITSMEMORPHIUOS on youtube, He reviews iphone stuff. and through his reviews I got the confidence to buy half this stuff)
1) MOSHI case (ipouch=for iphone)= fits G1 perfect: excellent "everyday" case. Has special cloth sewn on inside that really cleans your G1. www.moshimonde.com (f**K IPHONE, had to get that out of my system). Washable, extra pocket for headphones. comes with really nice lanyard (to whip your kids with). SEVERAL LAYERS OF VERY THIN FABRIC NOT BULKY AT ALL.
2) niteize s-biner, size #1= to hang on moshi case
http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?category_id=29&product_id=152
3) SENA case= ULTRA slim case=, executive case REMOVED!!! NO NEED FOR COMMENTS LIKE THAT/THIS!!!!. www.senacases.com
4) SEIDIO retractable USB cable= it's ok, kind of short only 2'. really handy to carry though.
5) Cellet retractable wall charger.= travel charger, (*NOT TO SURE ABOUT THIS ONE, ONLY 500mA). BUT the car charger looks like a excellent product (but at the same time looks like a d*ck and balls????). (wish I had a car)
6) ZAGG invisible shield. OK ready, great protection, very UGLY look. DO NOT USE THE SCREEN PIECE.
---USE www.powersupportusa.com CRYSTAL FILM instead, can't even tell something is on the screen.
WHY: the Zagg gives orange peel affect (distorts image), Also you can see adhesive acts like little prisms and distorts image.
---Also I covered my wife's phone with Zagg completely and it totally takes away from the phone (women!!!).
--------SO on my phone I just used two small stripps on where the phone makes contact with a surface. much better look.
TIP: buy 70% isopropyl Rubbing alcohol from local pharmacy( will cost $1-$2 for huge bottle), same stuff that is in expensive computer screen wipes. But find good lint free cloth.
spray phone:
1) to clean
2) can apply crystal film when wet with alcohol
This is not a purchase but a great tip:
7) Piece of leather cut 4" x 6" ( and old leather jacket will do) great place to rest your phone while charging.
8) Turbo Charger= on the go, emergeny charger(uses AA)
9) AMZER 82000= cradle. ( got extra battery from t-mobile for free) still waiting for it to arrive in mail.
http://www.amzer.com/accessories-de...el=T-Mobile G1&mcid=1&category=&make=T-Mobile
10) sandisk 16 GB microsdhc = must have= works.
If you have any questions about these items, let me know, hopefully it will help you make your decision.
Oh and this is my first post with pics sorry if i F it up.
PICS are here

the pics were to big. see enlarged pic for details and don't forget to click on second page.

A bit G1 obsessive if you ask me, but I can see y, I love my phone too. But I dont think all the cases/pouches r necessary.
I didnt like the bulk of the pouch it came with. so I got the sena case, but
the sena case is very slim line and doesn't cover the phone 100% and you have to break it in to use it.
So then I ended up with the moshi pouch (black pouch), which is good to just throw around, phone slides in and out of it with ease. (the gay pink or peptol bismol one is my wife's).
I'm getting the same cradle. Do you know if the phone fits in it without removing the USb cover?
you don't have to take off the little cover there is little space for the little cover to sit within
Great, thats what I was worried about.
For the cradle can you charge the G1 and the spare battery at the same time? I was just wondering because I bought a crappy dock a while back and I could only charge the battery with the dock and had to connect a usb cable to charge the phone. Also is it hard to put the G1 in the dock or is it pretty easy. Thanks for the info man
AMZER 82000= cradle
http://www.amzer.com/accessories-de...el=T-Mobile G1&mcid=1&category=&make=T-Mobile
I got mine off of ebay, from Hong Kong, so I did not have the pleasure of unboxing ( came in Manila Envelope). But saved a couple of bucks.
NO IT IS NOT EASY TO PUT PHONE IN AND OUT. if you plan on using phone alot it is not easy. but if phone just sits in one place and you have bluetooth headset then it's OK. There is nothing wrong with cradle, The problem comes in with the little door has to be opened, then lowering the phone onto little usb connector. It's great for people who have there own desk at the office.
Comes with:
1) cadle: nice build quality (for made in china cradle),has charger port, usb port and 3.5mm stereo out. fingerprint and dust magnet. but I'm happy with product.
Blue and red led indicator on front of cradle, very bright. Might have to cover at night.
BLUE: glows when charger is plugged in. even if there is no phone or battery in charger.
RED: glows when battery is charging.
2) wall charger: 1.5 AMPS, nice can charge battery and phone at same time.
3) usb cable.
more pics of cradle.............
Where did you get that cradle?? OMG, I was just tell ing my friend I needed a cradle that had a charge port AND an audio out port. That's so freaky.
Doesn't look nearly as nice as yours, but all I really want is to be able to put in in the cradle on my dresser and plug my speakers into it. WOuld this work?

got cradle off of ebay. came from hong kong.
omg, love the cradle! I wish we had bluetooth stereo headphones capabiliy (A2D2). this would be perfect for that. I could just use it to charge my spare battery while streaming music or just get the giant 2400 mAh battery. What do you guys think?
How well does the Crystal Film screen shield fit on the g1, since it's made for the iPhone? My stock screen is getting really scratched up and I desperately need a new one, and you seem to have done your research
Also, I have been thinking about buying the cradle as well, and I have an extended battery that I use as my backup, and since the g1 won't fit on the charger with the extended battery on, I'd like to be able to place it on the extra charger, I just wanted to make sure it'd fit
I too am loving my cradle. Also wishing for Bluetooth Stereo. We'll see what this month brings I guess.
CRYSTAL FILM: was from powersupportusa.com But I don't see it on their website anymore.
It has an exact fit and is very smooth, people can't even tell i have a film on.
CRADLE: yes the extended battery fits in the back part of the cradle. the only thing is you cant close the back cover of the cradle.
You can put the phone and the extended battery (in the back part of the cradle with the cover door open) in at the same time.
Thats one spoiled-lucky G1 hahaha.
can someone post a working link to one of those cradles for me.. thanx a lot
I love using my hd to watch movies hooked up to aux input in my car,
I got one of these of ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CAR-CHARG....c0.m14&_trkparms=65:1|66:2|39:1|293:1|294:50
its already snapped!
I want something that allows you switch between horizontal/vertical and tilt funtion for tomtom and core player
I may try velcro stickers or maybe an air vent holder
any other ideas?
I have had 2 of these..they are absolutely rubbish, the insertion clip snapped both times. I have also tried another holder (universal one) and that turned out to rubbish too, I threw it away. Another time the suction disc came away from the arm. I have also tried my own custom made holder - I took a leather phone case and screwed it into the back of the arm attachment, that worked much better than the worthless gadgets of ebay. So save your money and forget buying from ebay, it maybe worth spending a bit more for a better quality item. And just yesterday I found my my xda orbit holder provided by O2 so using that for now which fits the Touch HD very well.
My side I buy that for my car Car Windshield Swivel Mount Dock for HTC Touch HD. At 5.60$ nobody can make better!
Work like a charm!

I had a universal jobby off ebay, that was a bit rubbish since where it clamped onto the phone it obscured the volume control buttons.
Ordered one of the HD specific designed ones and will see how that goes.

Brodit holder + charger
I have recently installed a holder and charger for my Touch HD and can highly recommend it!!
http://www.brodit.com/
The installation was somewhat easy, had to open the dashboard to connect it to power behind the stereo.
Pro Clip makes some amazing solutions. I have used them for years on numerous devices.

Goes pretty fast. Haven't done any comparison, but I can't complain. I normally drive 45 minutes to work and twice a day charging is fine for me.

I like the look of the solid mount to the screen, but the holder looks a bit busy.
How have you found it?
Paul.
I got my own here www.mobilefun.co.uk
In this page you can find just about everything you need for your touch hd or any other phone... Bad thing deliveries are done only within the EU countries
The link for the holder i personally purchased and i'm 100% satisfied is here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-touch-hd-car-holder-p19992.htm
If you are looking for something a lot cheaper that goes with a car charger in the pack you can look here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/drivesafe-car-pack-for-the-htc-touch-hd-p20932.htm (only difference with the first one is a little more stiff on adjusting method) but its still perfect and safe & both are really easy to adjust horizontally and vertically the phone & they are both built for windshields which means you can video type your driving
I suggest it without second thoughts!

Got the same one. Pricey but oh so worth it. I love it,and would def recommend it. I've tried the suction ones, and they for some reason keep falling off the windscreen, even with cleaning the surface/drying it etc.
The brodit just clips into your dash, and fit your touch hd perfect. They make mounts for every car.
I love it!!!
And it charges at a normal rate, just like a standard wall charger.
I have this one and it's excellent..
Brodit holder question
I have a cheap universal effort I bought from some motorway services - Im looking for a better solution - im using airvent attachment - its a three pronged affair which clips over one of the vent "stays". Its wobbly as hell - which is fine most of the time, except when you are attaching the charging cable. Does the Brodit attach to the airvents ? if so does it attach solidly ? in a better way than my three pronged clip ??
Depending on your car and which mount you want.
For my Xantia, using the vent beside the steering wheel the mounting plate fits in around the vent, between the vent unit and the dashboard body, rather than the cheapo ones that clip feebly to the vent.
At the moment I'm using two of the suction cup ones that people have had problems with.
Superglue is your friend (no, do not superglue it to the windscreen no matter how temping that sounds!).
The internal flange which holds the silicon cup to the base of the arm breaks up causing it to regularly fall off teh windscreen, some good superglue carefully dripped in fixes this. The other problem I've had is the ends breaking where the metal snake fits in, again superglue (pull back the concertina cover) in each end sorts this.
Ok these are things that should not go wong in a good product, but when they're available for a couple of quid shipped from China, it's to be expected, and thankfully easily rectified.
Has anyone got the details of a UK supplier of Brodit?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...38080&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3651wt_1260
Found this car mount for the G1. As opposed to the universal ones which are significantly bulkier and honestly dont look that good. This one is sleek and will let you open the G1 to keyboard mode without undocking he phone.
I've ordered it. I'll let you know in a few weeks
Any updated?
This thing looks great and cheap!
Nope. Thats the downfall with getting things from HK off Ebay. Takes forever.
I will post a review maybe take some pictures. I really hope it lets me open the screen and use it full out.

True!!
Both of those are a custom fit for the G1, but notice the design of them. You can't use the car charger while the phone is in the mount. The 'clip' is covering the charger port.
This one is designed to allow you to charge the G1 while it is in the mount:

I don't own one 'yet' because the site says it will be available around 12/30. Looking at the pic, it doesn't seem to interfere with the operation of the phone... meaning you can still slide it open as well as charge it.
I've decided to make a 'temporary' dock for my G1 until the one above is available. I used the back portion of a clear cover that I had laying around. I figured I would put it to some use since I had it!
Here are a few pics:
I got this one to use in my car and love it! Charger fits in and it can be rotated in any direction. Plus you can move it from car to car without messy window rings. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UGMTKC/ref=oss_T15_product

That was a great idea. I got the cheap one off ebay and the cover does block the charge port. I am going to do a little dremel tooling on it to see if I can make it better. If not I will buy a couple of the cheap cases off ebay and try your mod.
The Ebay one also completely blocks the speaker. I will cut a hole for that too.

You can never go wrong with a dremel tool!! I didn't know that those ebay holders cover up the speaker too. It kinda makes the phone useless while its in there. I got the idea for the one I made off the proclip website. Rather than spending $30 bucks for theirs, I just made my own! I popped the trim off from around the heater/radio and used 3M double sided tape to secure the metal bracket that I bent to shape. Then used another piece of 3M to secure the back portion of the clear cover to the bracket. Of course, I put the 'Dual' sticker on there just for kicks!!!
I got myself a ProClip G1 mount.

It is a little pricey but the build quality is great and has a swivel mount. And yes you can open the screen and access the keyboard while mounted. Only downside (besides the price) is that you have to remove the rubber dust cover from the mini-USB charging port on the G1/Dream. I was kind of ticked off when I found this out after ordering it but I have been without it for quite a while now and haven't had any problems. I usually carry this G1 in my pocket and sometimes on my holster (when my work G1 isn't on me).

So I didn't see anyone comment on this yet. But I went ahead and bought this due to the decent price and what appeared to be the ability to open it while mounted.
So the answer is definitely "yes" to everything I wanted from it.
Yes, it does allow you to open the screen while mounted.
Yes, the clip does hold the phone very well and it is pretty easy to put and remove the phone with one hand.
Yes, you can plug in a charger while mounted and you don't have to remove the little charger door to use it.
Yes, there is a hole in the back so the speaker/camera is exposed so I guess you could record video, or take pictures while driving if that is something you wanted to do. Also, the microphone on the bottom is not blocked in case you want to just use speakerphone while mounted.
Yes, it feels very solid and well made. It says it "Made in Germany" on all of the parts which makes me feel good. "The German's make good stuff!"
Yes, The body clip itself does come off the arm so you could in theory use this for a different phone assuming you can get just the body clip online.
No, you cannot use this with anything other then a regular sized battery/door. (hopefully this was obvious)
Overall, for $20-$25 (depending on shipping), this is an awesome mount for your G1. I haven't actually tried mounting it on my window yet but the big suction cup (~3 inches wide) with the pull lever thing look like they will work great.

I order this one and finally got it.
It doesn't seem to fit in the way the picture is. The picture shows the "big" tab at the bottom. The problem with this is that it covers the hole for the charger. Also for me it doesn't quite fit so the top tab doesn't clip on to anything and doesn't hold the phone.
If I put it in upside down then the small tab doesn't cover the hole for the charger and it seems to fit nice an snug. But when it is in upside down you can no longer slide it open as the bigger tab is clipped onto the front. That is no big deal for me any ways as I don't plan on opening it while it is in the holder in the car.

I also went to g1depo.com and got the windshield mount, it arrived four days early and yes to all the major questions. Opening capability, charger connection, speakerphone/camera hole, and it is also sturdy and well made "German" to be exact. and only 25.00 with shipping. Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$6 shipped and it fits the G1 perfectly (yes I actually have one). It's a universal design so it's plenty adjustable. Even if it's not as pretty as some it does the job for a fraction of the price.

thats nice and everything, wonderful price...but uuhh...its intended purpose are for navigation devices, although it may have no problem holding, I don't think it would allow all of the g1 usage in dock such as rotating landscape/portrait, opening/closing keyboard, charging with dual 3.5 headset jack/usb extention.
Are there any good carmounts that fit a g1 with the extended battery back cover?
First let me make it clear...
This is strictly a recomendation for fellow Note owners.
I do not have anything to do with sales or anything near..
Wanted to share good stuff for as I really truly find these to be awesome.!
I just received (2) of these from AMAZON. Only $15 bux a pop. Ya Cant Beat It!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L9K16W/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Dual USB / AC Plug Desktoop Charger.
Charges via AC while SYNCS USB (leave single or both jacks plugged in)
Bothwork together. Comes w/AC Adapter. Cradle has built in USB cable (so cant lose it!)
Very tiny footprint. Fairly Sturdy. Phone does not tip over.
I actually place one in the ashtray dashboard of my car (wired USB)
Easy feel ... for locking phone on and off of cradle (thats important!!! )
They are the most ALTERNATIVE affordable pricing compared to the OEM desktop chargers which in my opinion are not that good and are about $50 bux or so.
Support Car / Home docking software when phone docked.
Only Con is...BRIGHHHHHTTT blue LED light. Extremely bright.
Had to place a piece of black tape over LED
Thought I would share the 411.
Its hard to find a good alternative these days.....
Thanks for sharing this, just ordered two alongside the OEM Sammy car mount.
Thanks for sharing! Just ordered mine.
How quick does it charge?
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one that I want to use to make a custom dock that I can fit in my cup holder in my car, as this phone is too big for my cup holders and that's where I like to keep my phone when driving. Was looking for a good/cheap dock, so thanks again for reporting back on the quality of this one. Definitely a nice price. Free shipping with amazon prime too.
how snug fit it is on the back? is there any room for the case? Will it fit if I have a thin case on?
I see that they also have the one with spare battery charger for $2 more. Interesting.
Hmmm you could probably MHL output while also USB host moding a keyboard/ mouse with this. Gonna buy one to give it a shot
Does it fit when i have a TPU case?
Actually the Samsung OEM dock is great. It's $40 at the ATT store. But I paid $20 with my premiere account.
I bought another on ebay as a back up, but haven't received it yet from here:

This does not actually come with the charger does it? \ Igt says can be used with charger that came with note.
Im confused. \/
so sorry for the delayed response! yes this desktop charger comes with one ac adapter in addition to a usb cable that is a cable built into the charger itself.
it allows you to keep the phone plugged into to both pc & ac wall at the same time with out the need to switch cables
it has a overload protection so no fear of charging burnouts.
it is definetely a snug tight fit onto the cradle itself. never worries about falling over or lose connections. i can say it works super super tight . real happy w/purchase.
