4.0 out of 5 stars Works with Nexus One and Droid Incredible, October 29, 2010

This review is from: Bracketron PHM-201-BL Vent Mounting Kit for Mobile Devices (Electronics)

I've been using this for over six months and I still think it's the best way to mount my phone in a vehicle. I've used it in an Escalade and an Accord, and it fit fine in both. The only problem is that over time the vent clips begin to sag, and that allows the whole thing to come off quite easily, sometimes even during a turn. As a solution I rotated the vent clips 180 degrees, so that they're mounted effectively upside down. Surprisingly, this has worked out quite well for me.

When using this with the Droid Incredible or other phone with a power cord that attaches to the side, you'll need to install the side supports upside down. There's a little plastic ridge on one of the side supports that is supposed to keep the device from slipping down, but there's enough friction from the side supports that it's not necessary. In this alternate configuration the phone hangs down a bit below the mount so that I can plug in my charger to the side. It works fine this way.

But it also come with self-tapping screws to mount into your dash anywhere. The Iphone4 Slides in perfect with the AMAZON SONIX case on it. Plenty of room below to plug in a Charging cord to charge while docked on the mount.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked well with HTC FUZE, April 13, 2010

I ordered the Bracketron PHM-201-BL to mount my HTC Fuze on the air vents of a 98 audi so it would be easier to use the hands-free system as well as listen to the mp3 player. The bracket has many configuration options including the air vent setup, and for mounting to other Bracketron mounts - I did not try the adhesive setup. The vent setup is stable enough to press the phone in securely without the clips breaking or the whole mount falling off. The volume keys and touch-screen are still easily accessible, but the PTT (Push to talk) button is slightly covered (I do not use PTT so I just disable that key). Overall a great product for the price.
