I have not used the one from Sprint, but if it's like many of the adjustable ones found on eBay/Amazon, I'd be a little wary. The plastic toothed rails on these wears out quickly over time. You will find yourself having to tighten it more and more to keep the phone from popping out after going over bumps and eventually it will not latch completely. I bought multiple ones on eBay and Amazon with poor results. I'm sure if you use it once a month, it may last a year or two.
It would be nice if everything wasn't made in China these days. I had to settle for this:
SlipGrip Car Mount Holder 4 Sprint HTC EVO 4G Phone W/C - eBay (item 140424858147 end time Oct-05-10 12:09:31 PDT)
I haven't received it yet, but I've used one for my Touch Pro for about a year. It holds the phone securely with no worries about moving plastic parts wearing out. Like many of the car mounts, it's made of plastic and plastic becomes brittle in extreme temperatures.
