Mount a cell phone? I have mine mounted in my pocket most the time, but sometimes i set it on the console in front of the cup holders... :)

I need to mount it so I can make calls handsfree. I drive through a state that has a "handsfree" call law.:(

While not a good picture,this is where I mounted mine. I have a Nextel I95cl and the speaker phone works just fine from this location.

You really do need a cradle to use a speaker phone properly.

place the phone on the door handle area. that's what i do, you'll always remember to get it when you exit.

I bought one of those magnetic ones. It came with a round magnet that is the same size as the dead button on the dash and a thin piece of metal that sticks to the back of the phone. It stays put and does not get in the way. The sticky tape on the magnet wore off and I had to glue it to the dead button but now it is fine. It is also in a good spot to charge from the power outlet right below it. Cost me $10.

yes sir it does! but i try not to drink stuff in my car (i've had bad run ins with drinks in my car) but if i really had to, i have the two cup holders below the shifter ;)... seems impractical to some, probably is, but i love it :p

Id be more worried about getting distracted while talking on the phone than drinking in the car....


thats just me I hate people that talk(on their cell) and drive, it should be illegal!!!:mad:
not to offend anyone I just get pissed when some dork almost runs into me because he is talking to the freaking cell phone...
ok thats it.
but the little space in front of the cupholdres works wonders I put my cell there and like 02silverSiHB says it never falls out :D

I think the reason why most ppl are looking for a place to mount is so they can do the HANDS FREE thing, otherwise it's pretty pointless. :eek: wow what a concept

I need to mount it so I can make calls handsfree.
:eek:

I bought it at the Verizon store when I got my phone. I will check out who makes it at lunch and see if I can find a link online. I'll let you know.

Here is the link to the magnetic holder that fits our dead button.

Its only $5 online. I guess I got ripped off at Verizon.

Anything to allow hands-free talking is a good thing. Notice how the only cell phone users that drive like idiots are the ones holding their phone up to their heads.

The way I see it, talking on a cell phone through some sort of hands-free method is no different from talking with somebody riding in the car. I feel pretty incapacitated if I try to hold the phone while driving, so I either park the car or just don't answer if I don't have my earpiece with me.

I myself use an earpiece for two reasons -- my phone doesn't have speakerphone abilities, and I don't like how the speakerphone sounds to the person on the other end of the call (sound cuts on & off, soft sounds get missed, etc).

So, sorry, no advice from me, but that's only because I've never investigated it myself.

lol I usually wont answer, and if they keep calling I'll chuck my phone to back of the car yelling something like, "don't you know I'm driving a standered in thick traffic!!!" :mad: :D lol
