I have a Brodit Active Holder with Herbert Richter mount for sale if anybody is interested.

The mount is great but don't have the N900 anymore so obviously have no use for it.

Well, my PDAir car mount broke just now.

The round plastic part that attaches to the phone case belt clip just fell off when I put the phone on it. Good job it didn't come off while I was driving through the lanes with all the potholes.

I just got delivered a few of these holders from ebay:

First impressions are really positive - they hold the phone tightly, give access to most of the buttons (all except the power button), and construction seems good quality. It's actually black too - not that ugly brown color in his photos (I was planning on spraying it black :P)

I made one by myself too, as the options I found were not that good. Seems to work fine for now, more testing needed though:)


Here is what you need if you wish to try too:

Suction cup mount (I used this Garmin version):

Hey, that looks good, better than any holder I've found out there. If it works OK you should consider selling your DIY version on ebay. ;)

I'm afraid that shipping costs would be way too high with local postal service:rolleyes: If someone is willing to sell these feel free to use the idea, eventhough it is fairly easy and quick for anyone to make one.

Price point and possibility to use the keyboard are good sides, but the attachment clips on that cover might give up in rough usage. I'll see how it lasts:D

this is not bad.. google ithttp://europe.nokia.com/MEDIA_BANK_1...14_240x240.png

Was looking at buying this, has anyone used it? The nokia specifications state that it is compatible with the n900, but the depth of the n900 is right up to the maximum depth the cradle can hold so a bit concerned it will grip properly.

Decided to go for this in the end

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Got it from amazon and it is really good, the top bit that you can see in the picture is a springed hinge that pushes back to allow the n900 to be placed or removed from holder.

Left review on website.
