For those who are interested, I was speaking to Brodit today. They make specialised car holders and I was enquiring about the i900 as I always use these holders for my car.
Anyway, Brodit can't source an i900 in Sweden so a UK distributor has kindly bought them one and sent it over. They have told me they will be available within 4 weeks time. Jon |

Jon I did not know how long it would take, if ever, to get a model for the Omnia (I have had my Omnia for a little over a month now), so I purchased the Brodit holder for the iPhone (Proclip 870168) : 99% fit, holds just fine. I carved an opening on the side for the charging cable. I can post a picture if anyone is interested. |

I am liaising with DSLDevelopments, MoDaCo's preferred partner for Brodit, and as soon as the i900 holder is available we'll post here, and post pics / review!

I used the one that came with the free bluetooth headset which was poor. I attached it to my dashboard and when I put the phone in which took herculean strength to part.....it lasted 5 seconds in which the phone holder slipped off the dashboard flinging my phone onto the floor via the steering wheel and scratching my screen
 Think will be patient like Paul!! |

I think I´ll have a go with this iPhone/Richterholder that should click on my Brodit+Proclip - and still be able to charge the Omnia...

Well I'm using my Orbit 2 holder - it's not perfect but it will do until the official one is released.
Just so you know, Brodit normally release the holders in 3 flavours. Holder/Holder+Cig lighter/Holder+Molex for direct wiring. I can confirm that only one is defiante at the moment. Brodit say that the other two will be dependant on them coming up with a system to allow power to the phone. I'm pretty sure they they can! Anyway, don't buy an iphone one - just be patient! |
