Guest Paul Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's been a while coming, but the Brodit holder for the HTC Hero is on the way! Brodit (distributed by DSL Developments in the UK) make simply the best car holders... and I am sure the Hero holder will be no exception - it looks a pretty crazy design! :) The item is currently on pre-order, but i'll update this post (and grab one to test!) as soon as they start shipping! Head over to this page for full details. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AndyCr15 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Ordered mine too :) They don't give any information on when they will be available though... Edited September 22, 2009 by AndyCr15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr Hotdog Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 So based on past experience with Brodit you guys reckon this will be better than the Hero specific car kit from HTC (which no one has in stock yet either, it seems)?

Guest jaffacake Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Quite expensive for all the kit required for mounting. I was tempted just to put a velcro pad on the back of my handset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Captain Jasper Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 It's been a while coming, but the Brodit holder for the HTC Hero is on the way! Brodit (distributed by DSL Developments in the UK) make simply the best car holders... and I am sure the Hero holder will be no exception - it looks a pretty crazy design! :D The item is currently on pre-order, but i'll update this post (and grab one to test!) as soon as they start shipping! Head over to this page for full details. P I received mine yesterday from DSL to fit in my VW Touareg. I'm very impressed with the quality and fitting was relatively easy - took about 10 mins. Having had a number of different types of holders over the years this is definately worth the little bit more money. There are no sharp edges or flimsy bits of plastic and it is all solidly built. Fitting instructions were comprehensive with pictures to help. There are two parts to the kit: one part fits to the car and then the second part, the holder that the phone goes in, attaches to this with four screws. The phone is held in the holder by gripping it at either side at the bottom. There are no clamps, springs or clips to fuss with, it simply slides in. As the holder can be swivelled you can get it into the position you want and tighten the centre screw to stop it rotating or you can slacken this screw slightly so you could move it around to face a passenger. I can't comment on how it compares to HTC's own car kit/holder but I am more than happy with this one and would happily recommend it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SabersKunk Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'll buy one once TomTom release their software for Android, until then I'll keep using my TYTN II for sat-nav (and the brodit holder I have for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I use 'mini move clips' with my holder so when I have different phones, I can just slide the appropriate mount on and off the car bit. Also means I can use 1 holder in both cars! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
