Re: Looking for a car mount.

You can change the device holder at any time (or the vehicle mount for that matter) without changing the other part. In my case the holder for the Treo just happened to be a size, and had depressions in it, that allowed it to hold 3 phones very well and 1 phone reasonably well. It will not hold my Touch Pro and if I decide I want to have a holder for that I will need to order a new holder, but not a new mount.
I did get the swivel option, but I did not get a self powered holder. Just used a normal charger in the car with no problems. That's one of the reasons it worked so well for different phones.

Soooo... you may, or may not, need to get another holder when you change phones depending on how much it varies it size from the Touch Pro. If a new phone is close enough in size it might still work.
Much appreciated. Now it's just a matter of choosing which features I want... I'm just happy that this [or at least part of it] is going to last longer than I have my phone so I don't have to drop another $50-100
