Why do you have your e-brake set?

I actually put mine up behind the steering wheel infront of dash from time to time when I'm waiting on an important call. (I usually just keep it in my pocket and dont pick up while driving).
It fits right to the left of the MPH indicator and doesnt block any gauge readouts, and i can see the LCD light up real easy when a call comes in.

I got this handy dandy mount at Auto Zone for about 10 bucks that attaches with two sided tape and put it to the dash right behind the turn signal. I use the speakphone function when I can.

Leave the cell in the cup holder. Have a bluetooth speakerphone which clips onto the driver's sunvisor. That way I can answer all incoming calls. It's a little inconvenient for dialing, but hey, I probably shouldn't be dialing anyway.

I don't use it much in the car, but I like to have mine charging with the earpiece plugged in so I can answer it if I must. I dislike having it in the cup-holders and so I'd like a mount so I don't have to let it slide around on the passenger seat (where it inevitably slides far enough to unplug).
Anyone else want to share a cool mounting solution for their Treo?

I gave up on belt loops though and just keep the phone in my pocket - unless I'm driving. I like to use the charger while driving too so it would be nice to have a good mount like antichristpm showed. Something that allows use of charger and headset and holds the phone so I can see the touch-screen.
If the best mounting solution is $100 I'd probably be happier in the long run to upgrade my (non-BlueTooth) Treo600 to a Treo700 and get the BlueTooth headset. Then I could have the Treo charging in the center console while I drive.

I am a dealer for PRO CLIP which makes mounting options for electronic gadgets from Video Screens, to iPods, to cell phones.
The normal price for the RX8 Mount and SWIVELING bracket is $60. I am offering it to anyone including miata owners who may be interested for $40.00 and I will bring them to the meet with me.
I will post some pictures of my own later tonight. I just hooked up G-Force with one the other day and he LOVES it.
You can PM me the make model year of your car and the device you are interested in using it with.
Here is the link for the two mounts that are available.

I've been using Proclip for a couple years and in my 8 for 3 months. Awesome solution and I wish I could have gotten it for the discount offered above.
At any rate, the only thing I didn't like is it doesn't include a charging solution as I can't stand having the cig lighter dc charger for my blackberry. I fixed that this weekend by 'dis-assembling' the dc charger and direct wiring a cable from behind the cig ligther up behind the proclip mount to my b(i used the guts of the dc charger to downconvert the 12v to 5v [usb standard]). Only thing I need now is a 'left-angle' usb cable to make the plug less auspicious.
If anyone's interested I'll post photos -
