[N900] Bike holder/mount
 
Does anyone know of a bike holder/cradle/mount for the N900? The only one I can find is this:

It looks unsecure and absolutely massive

It be happy to mod an existing holder a little..

Try the brodit holder with a seperate mount. The holder grips the phone tightly. Am looking at mounting mine on my motorbike!

Hi

This one looks good. Did you find some mount for handlebars? Could you post pictures? I'd like to do the same .. mount n900 on the bike, and if possible, mod it to be able to record videos while riding! :-)

cheers

I've adopted car one:

Description (in russian), if there are interested people, I'll translate it

It holds phone firmly enough for riding through forest on high speed.

RAM mount is what I use on my Yamaha FJR1300. It's great because you can buy an extra base for your car and easily move the N900 from one vehicle to the other with no hassle. If your handlebars are 7/8" then the motorcycle mount should work well on your bicycle but they may sell a bicycle specific mount.

I use a Haicom Bike Holder for N900 (picture on ebay and pictures with the phone). As you can see in the pictures; the phone fits perfectly in the mount. Also it's very easy to take the phone out (even one-handed), because you can push the "left part" of the mount open with a spring. IMO that's an amazing design; when i get a call when on the bike i can just take my phone out with one hand ;)

The mount is adjustable, so you can place it in portrait, landscape (or diagonal :p)
It doesn't cover the audio jack, screen lock button, usb port. Unfortunately it covers the power button, and aditionally the volume button OR the camera button (depends how you place your phone). I have it set up so that it covers the camera button, so that i can access the volume button.

Nice find mate! I'll be ordering one for my N900 :) I'm a new driver and without a GPS I feel nervous. N900 with Sygic and that cradle will be awesome on my bike and for my little in-city trips!

Spring finally arrived to Finland and I thought bike mount would be useful. Any experience on this one? Looking good imo.
