Car mount looks good, but expensive. Are these interchangeable with other phones, if you change out the hold itself?

I had one of the Sprint ones and was not too impressed... I found that the foam mounts would slide around a bit when the glue got warm... I drive an 18 wheeler and there's a lot of vibration so I have had to do quite a bit of testing on different mounts. I know it's expensive but Sprint and best Buy now carry a mount made by Griffin Technologies, I think they are actually made my HTC, specifically for the EVO. They're $60 but very cool. You plug your charger into the base of it and such... I have been using it for a few weeks now and I love it. http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/08/2...sprint-stores/

They don't have it on the Sprint website yet but they do have them in the stores.

Good luck

The SD card unmountable thing is actually not written out completely. The phone still sees the SD card you just can't set it up in mass storage mode, so if you have a stereo that can mount any usb mass storage it won't work with this dock. You will be able to listen to music through the evo through bluetooth a2dp or through the 3.5mm headset jack.

This is made for an Ipod, but I can vouch for the fact that it works amazingly for the Evo, even with the Otterbox commuter on it.

I was leary of it, but for 12 bucks, now 9.99, I thought I would give it a shot. It works. It even has a vent mount it comes with that works. I had a vent mount from schosche before that didn't work so well, so I was surprised.

I can say that it is worth a shot to try it out. I actually bought it based on a thread here and xda where members said it was a great car mount.

Thanks man. Got a commuter case on the way. You just answered my question...

I have the Real HTC/SPRINT EVO car mount.. I have to remove it from the case to use it. Not a big deal since I have the SEDIO case and it just comes apart in 2 pieces really easy!

I just ordered the Kensington mount in anticipation of getting an EVO. I think it is the best option so far. I have a honda element and its windshield is FAR from the front of the dash, hope it works out for me.

So... the same one I linked in the above quote?

well..... indeed it is! Only I choose this one because it was shipping from Memphis, and I am in in Nashville, so I will most likely see it monday morning on my desk

Although that Amazon link, 7.74+3.98 shipping was tempting! Ahwell...
