First of all, I'm a BMXer, not a road biker, which means regardless of what kind of bike you're buying this for you need to listen to my version.
I finally took this thing out and tried it at Challenger 7 Memorial park, I took it on the back trails. This isn't a well known biking spot, but anyone who's been on the back trails there knows it's damp soil and tree roots. This thing gripped my EVO without a problem even while I was doing wheelies and bouncing over root systems at high speeds. I did have a little trouble with neck swivel, so I just tightened it up a bit more, no problems. I doubt many people considering this item will submit to 1/4 of the bouncing and stresses I do on a normal ride - most BMXers wouldn't even consider using something like this. Only a real downhill biker would subject this to more abuse than I have, and I'm interested to hear from a downhiller.
On to other details. My bike is a 2008 Diamondback Lucky 24 (as of right now the PDF back catalog is still up on their website if you want to look - the BMX catalog was separate that year, pg 11). The cross member on the factory handlebars, which I'm still using, are thicker than you would expect from most handlebars. I ride the Galveston seawall at night a lot and the standard headlight wont attach to it (I figured out another way) but this thing fits perfectly without slipping. The way it's designed I have no doubts I could put it on a thicker or thinner crossbar without a problem. To make things better, it's tool less. If I want to take the thing off I don't have to get out my screwdriver or wrenches to do it.
If you have a need to mount your phone, GPS, or music player on your handlebars, this is the way to go.
-------------UPDATE 09/22/2011--------------
The above review holds true, but I have to lower it a star now.
Previously I had an Otterbox on my phone. My factory battery wasn't holding up anymore so I got a new one, one of those long life batteries that requires a different back on the phone. The Otterbox had to go, and wasn't holding up anyway due to the kickstand causing a structural weakness.
Big battery now in, Otterbox gone, riding my Comfort bike, not one of my three BMX's this thing dropped by phone and shattered the screen. Has to lose a star, though I do stand by it as a good choice if you have the secondary protection I used to. EVO 4G bites the dirt.

I wanted to use my cellphone's GPS on my mountain bike rides so I could track how I am doing as well as share trails with my friends. I have an HTC EVO with an extended battery. I read the reviews for this cellphone handlebar mount, some said this held their phones pretty well, others said not so much.
Today was the first day I used it and it worked perfectly! I rode gnarly single track with lots of bumps. In one section the trail is a washboard and when you are flying down the mountain you get shaken quite a bit through this section. I was curious to see if the mount would keep the phone in while I while I was being rattled to death. It did!
The only thing which I don't have quite right because of my handlebar shape, is the bracket that goes around the handlebar is not quite tight/sticky enough, and as a result the mount did rotate around the handlebar 20 degrees or so, but this happened slowly and so occasionally I pushed it back to vertical with my thumb. I plan to fix this by putting a piece of inner tube between the mounting bracket and the handlebar so that it is a little tackier.
I am amazed that this thing works on bumpy mountain trails but it does!
I added a picture in the product images section of my mountain bike with the mount on it so you can get a sense of the type of trails I can ride.
Update: My friend lent me his helmet cam and I happened to catch this footage where you can see lots of bumps with the phone staying on the bike!

So far works pretty good. Had to go without extended battery though because it is too thick to fit comfortably and not worry about it losing the grip.
