Nice
I'm going to need one of these when my Artemis arrives within a couple of days. Not sure but i think that it comes with a holder for the car in the box. Anyway just wanted to say that you should stay away from the holders that attach to the heating vents of the car. My unlce who works for Cisco Systems told me that they have been flagged by his company because it apparently is not good for the device.Not sure if this is true but just wanted to give this community a heads up on this one. I say you go for the suction holders.

The P3300 comes with a car holder, which looks very much like the brodit holders oddly enough...
Also comes with a windcreen suction mount and a natty HTC car charger (witch shiny chrome HTC embossed on it)

You only get the car charger, windscreen mount and 512MB Transflash card with the Premium version (this is the one with full TomTom mapping included) - well thats what the manual states, I got all three "extras" with mine - Mike

I didn't get any accessories with my device. I just got the base unit with the manuals, etc. I need a car mount.

Hey Neptune,
I see what you are saying, but thousands upon thousands of very satisfied customers and no damaged devices, along with rigourous controlled tests really do mean you are worrying about this without a valid cause!
Thanks
Bryson

Perjan, thanks for the heads up. For £40 i would be expecting top build quality.

Brodit holder for UK O2 XDA Orbit
The Orbit is basically an Artemis with a redesigned shell....
Does anyone know if the Orbit will fit into an Artemis / Brodit holder?
Cheers
Chris

hi
the orbit usb port is located slightly differently to the P3300 i believe it is only millimeters out but could make a difernence. I heard Brodit were making a holder specific to the Orbit for that reason.
Re comments above about vent holders i used one for 2 years with a IPAQ 5550 and had no issues at all.(infact in the summer it was a bonus as the ai con helped keep the device cool)
I find they are not so suitable for the Orbit as the clip/holder that is stuck to the device is not Orbit friendly.and if i use the clip that came with the Pdair case it hangs forward.
i use a suction mount with the side grip bars and it works great with the PDair case.

Well I have the brodit mount for the Artemis and it works well with the Orbit. It arrived after I read this post and I was aware it might not fit exactly so I gently bent the connector on the mount and it now fits perfectly and I am more than happy with it.
I am now just awaiting the brodit pro clip to attach it to the dashboard over the air vent. As I do not want to leave the screen mounted holder in the car due to last attempted break in!
Just to confirm only gentle pressure is needed to align the connection to fit perfectly to the Orbit so well worth the money in my opinion.

Car Holder for your Artemis do you want one?

I am not affiliated to the suggested company but have bought from them on multiple occasions.
They should have what you are looking for. Very good build quality as well.
proclipusa.com

From ProClip: for HTC Aria and HTC HD Mini

Kind of expensive though.

Yeah, that's pretty much Proclip's deal. They do make phenomenal products, but they charge phenomenal prices too.
One saving grace is that they sell the car mount portion separate from the device grip, so you can buy the car side once and just swap the device side out as you move from phone to phone.
I love the mount I have, but I'm not 100% sure as to whether I think it was worth the cost. If it was maybe 2/3rds to 3/4s the price, I don't think I'd have the same reservations, but at this price point, I'd do some serious looking at universal mounts before dropping the change on a ProClip rig.

I found a Car Mount on eBay for $7. eBay item #: 400148176134 (Enter the number in eBay search, I'm a new member so I can't post links). The eBay merchant (sak.gaming) is based in Hong Kong and it probably is going to take two weeks for the thing to get here (I live in Edmond, Oklahoma, US), but it seems like a good deal. It says the mount is for the HTC Aria/Liberty (We know the Liberty is HTC's code name for the Aria), yet the picture shows the HD Mini. It has been confirmed that the HTC HD Mini and Aria are basically the exact same phone, just one has WinMo and the other is Android. The plus side to the mount I found is that it could also be used as a desk mount, I will report back when I receive the mount. (Ordered on 8/28, could take two weeks)

Aria / HD Mini Accessories
The HTC Aria/Liberty/Intruder/A6366 is the exact same form factor as the HD Mini (and the hardware specs seem identical - only difference is the OS). Anyway, I found this distributer's site that has car mounts, desk docks, adapters, etc.
www<dot>netimes<dot>com/shop/htc-dopod-htc-hd-mini-c-80_754.html?page=1&sort=20a
Desk docks on the first page and car mounts on the second. I haven't ordered any nor have I ever ordered from the distributer, but their prices are pretty cheap (have not checked on shipping).
Now if only the Aria had audio outs through its usb port, but I don't think that is the case since HTC got so much negative feedback on their extUSB jack that was also used for a headphone out.
Let me know about the quality if anyone orders from here.

I'm using an Arkon vent clip mount... $15 shipped from Amazon, and is a lot more solid than I imagined.
Let me know if you want pictures.

What is the model number of the Arkon you bought at Amazon?

The Arkon car mounts that I found are universal phone mounts. One product holds just about any device. The Arkon website lists most of their products for $20 and that is what I paid for one from Best Buy. I ended up returning it because the vent clips were cheap plastic and they broke off inside the vents. That one was not Arkon, but was very similar. Hopefully yours is more substantial.

Mine seems to hold up fairly well.
SM429-SBH is the model of the one I purchased... but there are many on the market and I chose a vent mount as I drive an older compact car... (2000 Subaru Impreza)
I took pics for one member and will post them shortly, after dinner.

I guess a thank you is in order. A wee bit off topic, but Arkon is the only company I've found that makes a mount specific for the TomTom XL, called the easy port. I've had mine for at least a year and have broken the flimsy POS suction ring mount TomTom gives you. Arkon makes a pretty substantial looking EasyPort mount. Amazon has it for $9.99. I ordered it; if it is worth a darn, then it says something about the rest of their products. So thank you ioft for pointing my curiosity in the right direction, so that I stumble upon the solution to a problem I've had for a few months ($119 decent GPS unit I can't use).

NP! I hope it works out for you.

Pics! Excuse the messy car. The mount is adjustable in terms of phone fitment and swivel. The bottom "feet" can also be slid out of the way of the charge, microphone, and lanyard ports. The side "grips" and bottom "feet" also have cushions on them to prevent scratches and such. I've also included a video showing that the phone is secure in the mount, and the "creaky" sound you hear is my vent... car is old -- it's a 2000 lol.
Taken from my old N82.

Where is the magnet detect on the aria that senses the dock? If there is indeed such a thing.

The one I own ("dock") isn't a true dock in the sense of connectivity & screen control. It just holds the phone. Navigation/Maps app keeps the screen on.

I ordered the arkon SM429-SBH, directly from manufacturer for $21.95, never received. I attempted contact several times, and will likely have to file a payment dispute.
I did however purchase the same unit from Amazon, $14.88 when I combined other items (from filleritem.com), to get to 25$ for free shipping. The dock seems somewhat wobbly at first, but when you finally get it situated, gravity and the click grip thing work very nicely together. I have an audio input cable for my head unit that I wired up around the top to plug into it, and my power cable wraps around the audio cable (curly cord), so that it hangs nicely below where the phone sits. I may post pictures if anyone is interested.
Please do not try to order this product directly from Arkon.

ProClip Car Mount

Just got the following email from ProClip... FINALLY:
Dear Customer,
The ProClip Device Holders for the AT&T Samsung Captivate a Galaxy S phone are now in stock and available for online ordering.
We anticipate our charging holders within 2 weeks. You will receive another email from us at that time.
Thank you for your interest in our products and have a terrific day!
Best Regards,
ProClip USA Customer Service

Just got the same email. In stock, but you'll end up dropping just over $70 for the whole she-bang... ouch.

I had one of these ProClip holders for my old HTC Advantage, and it worked quite well. I just took off the standard mount on the back and attached a RAM mount.
I'll be curious to hear from anyone who gets this, as I'm curious how the mount would hold up rotated in landscape mode. I'd like to use it on my motorcycle for navigation.

Just ordered mine. I have had ProClip holders since my HTC 8525, Tilt, iPhone 3g, and Tilt2. Currently using an adjustable holder intended for 3G with slim case with my Captivate and Body Glove rubberized case. Works well but over time the adjustable screws loosen, but it did hold device after 74 y/o driver hit/spun me @ 70mph on I-95. I expected to find it somewhere else, but when I got to the shoulder it was right where it should be .......excuse me 911..... "please hold" ; ) It will be here before that driver's shady insurance company owns up to FHP citation and fixes my car

OUCH
$75 including shipping? I dont think so. Great idea, WAY too much money

For those of us that already have a ProClip mount, $35 is not too bad. I, however will be waiting to see what they do with the charging model.

ProClip Captivate Active Mount
The active mounts are on the ProClip site now; $79.99 for the hardwire kit, $59.99 for the lighter plug-in model. If you don't have a mount, add another $29.99.

Assuming that the Otterbox Defender belt clip can hold the Captivate backwards as well as it could my old iPhone, I'll be getting one of the generic mounts that accepts a button or clip so that I can use one of these mounts without removing my case. That way, I can rotate my phone into landscape view and use car home and Navigation easily.

No custom ProClip planned for HTC 10

I asked ProClip if they were making a clip for the HTC 10. This was their response...
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in ProClip products.
Unfortunately, due to the extremely large number of devices released every year, we cannot make holders for them all.
Currently there are no plans to make a holder for the HTC 10. However, this may change depending on customer demand going forward.
We can add your name to our list of customers who are interested in this holder. If we get a large enough response we may reconsider making a holder for your device.
In the meantime we do have several adjustable holders that may work for your device.
You can find those items here: ProClip Universal Holders - http://www.proclipusa.com/mobile-device-holders/universal-holders/universal-phone-holders.aspx
Each product page has the dimensions the holder will accommodate. Please take good measurements of your device with any case you might be using; this will help you to select the best ProClip Universal holder for your device.
Please feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have.
Best Regards,

I'm not saying ProClip is good or bad. They are really expensive, but I'm a bit obsessed with their clip for my car that snaps into the dash and provides a solid mounting point just above the vent. My M8 always overheats with my current setup with a windshield mount. I tried a vent style mount, but it just doesn't stay put in the vent.

I love ProClip and have been using them in my vehicles since my Droid Incredible days.
They always say this response up until they release the product. My guess with a phone like the 10, they will definitely launch one. Just hang tough

+1. Considering there is an article on the HTC 10 on the Proclip blog, I'd be surprised if they didn't come out with one. Also, it may be more useful to ask Brodit directly. Brodit designs the holders and then it becomes available via Proclip here.

Just emailed Brodit UK re an HTC 10 mount and this was the reply:
Brodit are going to manufacture one and this will be available around 4 weeks after Brodit receive a device. As the handset is due for release in May I would expect these to be available at the beginning of June.
I will add your details to the list of customers who are interested in a holder for the HTC 10 and will update you when these are available.

Sweet. Do these ever get cheaper? Is there any history of a sale when a new part comes out?

I took an old proclip non-case holder from an older HTC phone (kickstand one) that was too tight heated it with a hair drier and expanded it with a C-clamp, perfect fit.
Edit: Brodit Item No. 511403

I've had Proclip in my various cars and for various phones.. A suggestion would be instead of purchasing the custom holder for the phone we have, would be to buy the universal holder. I've used the universal holder for a Nexus 5, moto x 2013/2014, OnePlus 1+2, Nexus 6, Nexus 6p, HTC m8, and LG g4 in no particular order :silly:, and all fit perfectly! The only thing that needs to be custom is the mount that fits onto your dash!

Is this confirmed information?
I emailed Brodit SE a week ago, asking the same thing.
Their answer:
- Som det ser ut nu så har vi inget planerat till denna enhet.
In English:
- As it looks now, we have nothing planned for this unit.

Well, that was a copy of the message they sent me. Not sure how I can confirm that it is correct info.... I hope it is correct otherwise I will order a universal mount from them.

Yeah, I got a similar response from Brodit SE a bit over 3 weeks ago.
They're "looking into it" but can't promise anything, said he'll inform the product manager (eg add another one interested on the list).
If Brodit doesn't make one, I'll probably look into RAM Mount. (edit: not the x-grip of course..)

I just use an iottie mount myself..

maybe there is usb c proclip mount for another device that may fit.

i use an adjustable iPhone 6 clip... it works well. Use on my Nexus 5X as well, just loosen, adjust and retighten.

I'm using this. Perfect for my needs.

Thanks for the tip. I've ordered one of these from Amazon and will check it out. I have a Spigen A201 mag mount vent type and it just falls out of the vent in my Prius. Hopefully the Airsnap will hold better. The Prius (gen2) vent pivots both horizontally and vertically so it's a bit of a crap shoot but I figure maybe one of the support clip things will help to stabilize it.
The good news is the strong magnet doesn't appear to affect the HTC 10 like it did the M8. The M8 would trigger the Dotview case mode, but the HTC 10 Iceview sensor seems to be very low on the phone so putting the mag mount in the center doesn't trigger it.
