Mogul when Running?
 

Anybody have any great ways to run with your Mogul? I can't seem to find a decent case that a)won't look like a dork and b) won't cost a fortune to wear when I'm running with my Mogul. The best solution so far is to hold it. Any great ideas? Would love to get some bluetooth headphones but from what I've read, some need the phone above the belt for best reception, so that adds more issues.

I'd get one of those tennis wristbands, put it on your bicep, and clip the belt holster to it. Add a rubberband or 2 just in case... I actually do this and it works very well.

Have you tired a fanny pack, they are all the rage.

If you check boxwave.com or WMexperts store, you'll find quite a choice of cases. Some, I believe, are designed for runners.

Hey man, I put my Sanyo 9000 in my back pocket with wired earplugs and that works flawlessly for an hour or so of running. However I did put the Mogul once on one of those Ipod holders that straps around the biceps, and that looked and felt ok. I didn't run with it but I am positive it will work just fine with wired earplugs. Give it a shot, it is about 9 bucks.:mrgreen:

I'm going a bit off topic, but I also want to recommend a program called Run.GPS. I have been using it for several weeks with great results.

Don't know if you run on a treadmill, but I plan to just place my Mogul on the treadmill itself and then use bluetooth headphones.

That is awesome. I might have to start running outside.

I run all the time with it. I just use a cheap elastic armband that I got off ebay. It's designed for the iphone but it works fine with my Mogul. A little tight at first but now it fits well.

If you run outside, also check out:
rungps and mymotion. They are GPS programs that automatically track your time, distance, pace, etc. using the built-in GPS. It has automatic voice prompts so you if you have a BT headphones (Motorola one work awesome) you don't even have to look at your Mogul during your run. Both programs will speak all the data to you through the headphones.

(rungps is by far a more polished program but it's a bit pricey... while Mymotion is freeware).
Using the normal battery, I get 100+ minutes of runtime listening to music, and using the built-in GPS.

I love RunGPS, but I wish I would have found mymotion before I paid for it!

BT headphones, if they are any kind of decent at all, won't need to be anywhere near your head. I've used my BT headphones across a room, or while in an airport with the PPC in my backpack.

You should be able to stick it into any kind of case and be just fine, although I personally leave my phone home when doing any kind of physical activity, and bring a cheapo-cloned phone that doesn't matter to me if it breaks (currently have a Samsung M300 for that task).

Yeah, at $34 RunGPS is about $14 overpriced.
Great program but it's a bit TOO much. It is also monopolizes your PDA while you use it... You have to exit the program to do anything else on your mogul.

Mymotion does most things you want, albeit not as polished.. (the voice is computer generated ... but works). Best of all is the price is right.
