Where do you put your cell phone?
Sorry if this has been asked; I couldn't find a similar thread with Search.
Just wondering where everyone puts their cell phone while driving. Please refrain from sermons about talking while driving -- I've heard all that. I don't charge my phone in the car, and don't have a mount. The only convenient place I can find to keep it in case it rings while driving is in my cup holder which, of course, sux if I want to put a drink there. Anyone found any good alternative?

Usually my pocket, where I leave it most of the time. Unless I think I'll need it (e.g. for the directions I wrote down), then my cup warmer with the top shut (cause I hate when my arm falls in).

Walmart and other places sell these little padded magnets with adhesive backing. I put one next to the shifter and my phone just sits on it. I can even use the speakerphone on it if I need to. I'll do pics when I can.

i took out the actual ashtray insert and my phone fits in there where i can see the screen...i have the samasung digicam phone so its pretty small.
otherwise it sits in my lap where i forget about it when i exit the car thereby turning it into an exspensive projectile to the concrete!

I have the red/black interior and my wife found a red/black clip on soda can holder at walmart. It clips on to the passenger side center vent. I keep my phone and parking garage access card in it. I'll try to remember to take pics.

I used put mine there, too. One day, I watched how bad it made my computer monitor fizzle when it rings and at "random" intervals when it seems to check for things. I decided I'd rather it be doing that to my left thigh than my *********...
But it still ends up there after I talk on it, when I occasionally talk while driving (but I hate every second of it).

In October I'll be getting the Moto V710 from Verizon. With that I'll also get the systems from Qubit and Parrot so that I can just leave my cell phone in my pocket. Then when I sit in the car it instantly via bluetooth connects to the parrot system and will answer calls over the 8's stereo. Can't wait to get it all working.

Awesome ideas, gang. Thanks for the great feedback. I will investigate a few of these solutions, esp the bluetooth/Qubit thing and kuda-phonebase. I might end up with a bluetooth phone with wireless earpiece, then I can just hide the phone in the sliding storage bin behind the cupwarmer and leave it there.

I've got static when I was in Alabama with the phone in my right pocket and piece on my left ear. I've had long-term (over 20 mins) connection problems with it in Los Angeles.
Wired is the way to go, unless you find a better solution.
