If anyone is interested I found a "universal" mount that looks promising. The Exogear car mount. Looks like this can be used for more than your phone, ie a ebook reader or even a tablet. Looks promising. Any thoughts?

[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Best darn car I have ever owned (and that includes 3 Lexus'!). I am over 2500 MPG (yes! thousand!). I have burned only 0.7 of a gallon in almost 1900 miles. It is truly fantastic.
[HTC Sensation] Shady Gambino:
I used the Arkon Vent mount with my old Honda Civic and G1 (now I ride a motorcycle). As long as you attach it to your vent louvers correctly and use the support leg, it's pretty steady.

Air vent was my preferred location, although if I had a car now, I'd probably opt for the dash mount / flex neck mount combo.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
I also have the arkon vent mount.

very steady so far. no issues of it moving at all.
[HTC Sensation] Richilew:
Awesome, I have a bodyglove case too... can you explain what you did to get it to fit?
[HTC Sensation] dhdcdarchy:
Nokia N8 Dock

I actually use the Nokia CR-122 In Car Holder for my Sensation after seeing a friends and trying my phone in it, the build quality is awesome and it fits perfectly even with my current cheap TPU case, got it for pretty cheap on Amazon too, cant go wrong :) it comes with this little sticky pad too so it can be used on dashboards and even maybe as a desktop dock.
[HTC Sensation] craigsdocks:
I made a car dock for the HTC Sensation as well as several other phones, all aluminum and will work with any case.

You'll need to watch the video at the bottom of the car dock product page to understand them more since they are totally unlike any other car dock made.

The video is quite extensive being it is an actual installation video.

I cannot post a link since I havent had too many posts here yet, its my user name then . com
[HTC Sensation] biojo:
can u still access usb socket to charge n how well does it hold for phone without a case?

need a cheap alternative for work

thanks
[HTC Sensation] dhdcdarchy:
Yes you still have access to the USB and without a case its even better, it holds it nice and tight, without the extra bulk of a case it makes it nice and easy to slot the phone in and out, Ive used this dock without a case on my phone and it wont fall out, the clamp along with rubberised edges grip it tight.
[HTC Sensation] biojo:
nice one , i`ll be ordering one today, my old nokia n95 holder does work but only grips in middle just didnt trust it lol
[HTC Sensation] Subjective Effect:
This is one of the big problems with the Sensation for me - the charge port is in a totally ridiculous place.

I've been looking for car vent mount that has space for me to plug the Sensation in but all the mounts, including the one I've used with my Nexus One, have the grips/holders over the Sensation's usb port.

Stupidest design ever.
[HTC Sensation] spoks:
take a look on Dealextreme . There are three types of holder for Sensation: On windshield, wents, bycicle.
[HTC Sensation] spoks:
I bought first one. So, it is very good price/quality performance. Sticks on windshield VERY good. Better than my previous brandname holder.
[HTC Sensation] DJouneyt:
Sorry, did you buy Car Swivel Mount Holder w/ Car Charger Set for HTC Sensation/Pyramid/G14/Z710E or Universal Car Swivel Mount Holder - Black one? If it is Car Swivel Mount Holder w/ Car Charger Set for HTC Sensation/Pyramid/G14/Z710E could you please inform the car charger cable lenght? Also is there any annoying vibration during driving and does the phone (mine is w/o case, only with full body cover) plug/unplug easily? There is a nice review on product's site, what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] spoks:
exactly the same. Can't say about cable length right now, but seems it is at least some 40-50 cm. There are no vibration at all!!!! The holder stays on windshield perfect. Even it is not so easy to take it off, if you need to move it :D

To plug/unplug phone is easy and without any force, but ... phone must be without any cases, just as it comes out of box :)

edit: cable length is ~92cm
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Arkon mini winshield or dashboard mount

I opted for the shorter mount. Build is great, I always have some sort of case on the phone so this mount is perfect. You can adjust the phone so that none of the buttons and cut outs are blocked, which is a big plus in my book. Here are some pics.

I bought mine from an ebay retailer which was a bit cheaper than directly with arkon.
[HTC Sensation] thebigham:
I found this amazing little car mount on Amazon. I'm not sure if this is posted here or not. But this thing is really good! It mounts to the CD drive in your car, and the CD still plays!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E5W3D4/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

Here are some pictures:
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I had this and used it for my N1. But since the hot texas heat made one of the side pads come off. I never put it back on so of course it didnt work well since lol.

The only other gripe of mine with that is the access to the usb port. You gotta make sure you clear it. With the arkon its the same thing, but not as difficult in adjusting it. But each his/her own! :)
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
I love mine, only two watch outs: to clear the port you have to clamp onto the volume down button (ok if you have a case, just squeeze the clamp to turn it down), and it covers the display on my radio.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Hey thanks for the suggestion, I think I'll go for the Arkon too..just one question: do you have to use it always orizzontally or you can turn it vertically without fearing the phone would slip away?!
[HTC Sensation] dirtyblueshirt:
Don't care about the mount after seeing the photos. I want your car :D
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Nope it's totally adjustable. You can use it horizontally or vertically (landscape or portrait).

And this arkon mount is tight. If you have a case like mine or tpu this thing would be very hard to "slip" out. I mean it's not tight that you can't budge it. You can adjust it to whatever level you want.
[HTC Sensation] Econet:
The Thunderbolt dock is on sale at Verizon stores for $9! I picked one up. The car app keeps crashing on mine though. I may get the alternative car app.
[HTC Sensation] HoustonGeek:
I just recently ordered the AR410 from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ELOOZO) to replace my Clingo (I found the Clingo great, but the plastic mounts started to break after a year. I think it's sturdier than the Clingo and with vent and suction mounts, it does well for my Sensation for both vehicles.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
I no longer have the HTC S4G. So if anyone is interested, I'm selling my HTC Sensation Proclip / Brodit 511268 device holder w/Tilt Swivel on EBay here
[HTC Sensation] alik713:
My best mount, ever!

I've been buying these little windshield mounts from Ebay that would separate at the base (suction cup comes apart from the mount) every few months or so. That is, until I came across this little gem.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/230944952231?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

The mount is so friggin' solid, the cup is so sizable, that it's pretty much the last mount I'll ever buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wondercoolguy:
My wife has the Galaxy S 4g and I don't have much exp w/ it like my N1 so I'm hoping for a little help. My wife's phone worked fine for about a month and now it wont play any video whether it be through youtube or even video that she records w/ it. It always bring the up the error "Can't play video". I did the hard reset took it back to factory and that fixed the problem for about a week now its back. Its stock phone w/ launch pro (even though its my wife's phone I couldn't stand to see her use touchwiz) Is video issue a known problem if so is there a solution becauses rooting it and flashing new rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Yes it known but it shouldn't be severe like yours is...it should happen once in awhile not all the time...flash a new rom.see what happens...you can always go back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wondercoolguy:
Thanks for the help, but its my wife's phone and I don't want to start rooting and flashing things because if more issues arise then it will be more of a headache for me. So, should I contact TMO for replacement phone?
[Streak 5 General] Dsmwookie:
Is their a good site to follow Opus One updates on?

Do we know if the Opus One will support T-Mobile too or just ATT?

Has a new release date been set? Last I heard was May and we are now past that.

Thanks for your time and for looking!

Dell Opus One

It would have Android ICECREAM SANDWITCH 4 i guess !:)
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Sooo, I guess Opus is officially deceased, expired, passed away, went to be with the cyberlord, crossed over, was "called home"?
[Streak 5 General] donalgodon:
Should make ports to the gen. 1 Streka 5 easier, no?
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Does the current Streak Status in the United States mean we are officially cut off from any further upgrades or hopes of additional upgrades/new streaks while other countries will continue receiving such new updates, etc? GEE,THANKS DELL, for slapping us in the face right here on your own home turf
[Streak 5 General] donalgodon:
Do other countries receive such updates? I tend to doubt that. If a company won't do it for the US, they don't usually give a crap about anyone else in other countries either, sadly.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I guess that's why the Streak 10 has only been released in the US? :rolleyes:

That is certainly a UScentric view. I'll think about while I watch the sun orbit the earth.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Perhaps the earth orbits him too :D

Thinking that the streak 5 will stop recieving support simply because it's discontinued in the US is plain up stupid.

It's still supported in the european markets and it was launched there BEFORE it launched in the US. If anything the US is was always the minor market and it was with the way dell launched it here and with At&t. Rogers up north wasnt that much better and was basically mirroring at&t with support.

Retail/unbranded streaks have ALWAYS recieved updates the fastest and most frequently and as retail it doesnt matter where it was purchased it will continue being able to run retail roms.

Excluding the retail streaks, the asian markets (japan and korea) recieve the greatest number of updates anyway, and that's where GB is most likely to land first if it doesnt land on retail first.
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Hey Guys.....

I just read on Forbes' website that HP has officially discontinued ALL WebOS programs / devices..... according to the article, this specifically includes ALL tablets and smartphones.....

IMHO, Dell would be short-sighted now to discontinue future tablet & smartphone development...... But unfortunately I'm never invited to their shareholder meetings LOL
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
All Dell phones in US are I believe EOL. I believe the current offering was just to test the waters. My best guess is give it a year or so and they will be back.. Companies are beginning to get it now...with the fall of webos, it is no big trick to come out with just another phone or tablet... it is now time for innovation and probably enterprise security to android.
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Now I'm really pissed.... Just last night, I read on 3 "credible" websites that HP would begin offering their 16GB Touchpad at BestBuy & WalMart for $99 (32GB for $149).... I've been to 3 BestBuy stores today and they all told me their remaining TouchPad inventory was shipped back to HP..... I dare not go to a Walmart store and hear the same story for fear of having a meltdown right there at the service counter.... You know what, with these kind of shenanigans, HP deserves to fail!! .... .. There, I feel much better now
[Streak 5 General] donalgodon:
I don't live in the US, but I did for 37 years. I have noticed that mobile hardware makers do tend to be UScentric to an extent. I'm not saying it's categorically true in every instance.

Nokia's latest releases are the antithesis to this, for example.
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Marvin, what was Dell's recent release that was only overseas and not U.S.? I am confused in thinking it was the streak 10. But I was totally mistaken..wow.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
He's being sarcastic,

the s10 currently has no release schedule in the US or anywhere but china right now (which has been out in china for a couple weeks now)
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
The US launch and lack of advertisment is a very sore spot. Maybe that is why they gave up on the US. Since Dell chose to make the US second fiddle our press paned the device. It was not released on time and was released with what the US press considered outdated software.

In a country that likes to be first in everything of course that will generate some poor feelings. Plus, Apple is strongest here. If you can do it to Apple's level (advertisement, product delivery, innovation) then you might as well pack up and go home, unless it's cheap and the Streak 5 was not cheep.

I think the US just was to hard for them to support.

My hope is that the next Gen Streak will be released here first with full disclosure and advertisement. I think the Streak 5 would have done very well if it had been fully supported here in the states. People are still asking me what it is and where they can get one. Now I have to sadly tell them they can't.
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 3105162:
I've cut ties with Dell until they can show drastic signs of taking their devices seriously. I picked up an Atrix the other day when they were free at best buy (I told my wife-to-be to use her upgrade on it, she said she was fine with her current phone but I could have it...what a catch!), and it's amazing how much more refined of a device it is (excluding motoblur, but I never booted into the stock rom so I didn't have to deal with that). I will always miss the 5" screen though. Luckily Samsung is starting to make bigger and bigger screens on their phones.

The only thing that saved the Streak was the great communities on xda, modaco, and pocketables...Dell, sadly, shot themselves in the foot with how they handled the streak and I am done with them.
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
The Marvelous Marvin probably know by now that I got me one of them, there "feeble brain'ded noggins" and I got thrown into an "Alfred Hitchcock" loop trying to figure ou how I missed that release, rofl... And to now realize I totally missed the entire satire of the post itself!.....back to r o f l,:p
