My DIY Droid Car Mount

I'm spending the whole week using a Droid as my primary phone. Before I review it I want to do a full immersion. So I'm leaving my iPhone in my pocket. I only take it out for incoming calls and when I need to compare something to the Droid.

Ah: but my iPhone spends a lot of time in it's car cradle. It's my music player and my GPS.

They didn't send me a car kit so I had to improvise. This is an old GPS mount with the GPS bit removed and replaced with a pad of Velcro. And that's the micro-USB cable from my Kindle, providing power.

Well, it works! I've been driving with it for two days now.

Velcro: it's like duct tape for the indecisive.

Sent from my iPhone. Because obviously I couldn't take a photo of the Droid WITH the Droid, could I?

That looks the the interior of a Ford or Mercury? The power mirror switch looks like the same on in my Taurus.

Andy - can't wait for the entire review on that Droid since I'm probably going to pick that phone up.

Great line. Andy: "Velcro: it's like duct tape for the indecisive."
