Have anyone created a holder for N800 for mounting in cars? Couldn't find anything at nokia.com, but i would even prefer some cheap third party stuff...

Not super cheap but I have been looking at the ram mount stuff. High quality stuff. www.ram-mount.com I think.

My perfect combination=

http://www.ram-mount-uk.com/ram-hol-pd2.htm using the medium size finger clamps

I pushed the two long finger clamps in the remaining two slots at the bottom, from behind and facing down. I think I had to file off a little bit for this. When mounted on the windscreen, the rubberised ends of the two claws rest on the dashboard giving a rock solid mount without scratching the dashboard (Honda Accord 2003).

The fit was perfect for the N770 giving access to all connectors at the bottom, I then added a few layers of self adhesive foam to the holder to accomodate the humped back of the N800.

I am oversensitive to scratches but this arrangement does not harm neither the dashboard nor the Nokia.

I may take some photos later...

For $15 you can get what I used. Go to eBay and search for "Nokia 770 mount". You should get a hit on Jabashop. It should work for the N800, but you may need to verify that you can connect the charger while mounted.

It ships from Hong Kong, but I got mine to the US in about a week without any hassle.

I got this from ebay http://tinyurl.com/2odpph (disregard what it says it's made for, it's a universal mount and fits anything under 4 inches wide)
Infact I have bought 3 (one for each car) and they work perfect for not only the N800 but especially the N770!! The arms are configurable so all your ports are accessible. It has also 3 attachment methods to your car and the gripping arms open smoothly. I dumped the other brands of car mounts because the gripping mounts always blocked the ports.

If it helps, the original Nokia parts are:
Nokia Car Holder part no. HH-12 and is available from Nokia USA as an accessory.
Nokia Mobile Holder for the N800 is part no. CR-86 and is hard to find.

I'm on a mission to find an n800 holder that will work with the stand open - so I have access to the USB port while driving. Haven't found one yet.

In general, even if I were to remove the stand permanently, the universal holders don't cut it because they often cover a port, mic, or a button.

I'd just like to know where I can find the stand alone HH-12 accessory. Every place I see it has the mount plus the CR-89 (I think) holder which I dont need.

Any idea on where I can find JUST the HH-12 to purchase in the US of A?
