 Nice and customizable July 31, 2010
Stew (NYC/Philadelphia, United States)
It adjusts nicely, and the arm is very stiff.
Only complaint would be sometimes taking a few tries to get the suction mount to stick. But once it's good it goes nowhere.
 Useful for viewing GPS services on Mobile phones November 1, 2009

I bought this primarily for viewing GPS services on Mobile phones (iphone) along with a dashboard friction mount. This serves the purpose I bought this for and the construction is of good quality. This has adjustable clamps on the sides and the bottom(which press against the phone ends and hold the phone), which can practically hold all the mobile phones on market. But you need to make sure that the adjustable clamps press pretty tight all the time, lest the device should fall.
At least for the iphone, the adjustable clamps on the bottom leave enough gap to use a (car) power charger cord. One of the disadvantages though, is that I can use the phone only in a portrait mode and not the landscape (rotated) mode, as the phone speakers get covered by the adjustable clamps in the landscape mode.
Overall, it's a decent product that serves the purpose.
Excellent windshield suction mount for PDA's like BlackBerry Storm September 23, 2009
Nicolas Leobold (New York, NY United States)

This is an excellent windshield suction mount for holding PDA's like my BlackBerry Storm. What is particularly useful on this specific model is that the side brackets which grip the PDA or GPS are individually vertically adjustable (both the tops and bottoms on each side), so you can position the side grips so they don't push in the side buttons on your device. My BlackBerry Storm was not perfectly designed because it has several buttons on each side, and most PDA mounts' grips are not adjustable, so when I tighten them to hold the PDA they push the buttons in and make the PDA malfunction. Because this model's grips are individually adjustable I can avoid that problem. Also, I mounted this on my windshield today, and the unit is extremely high quality for the price. My Storm is securely held in the high-quality foam cushioned grips, and the windshield suction mount is very solid, jitter-free and grips very strongly. The adjustable neck feels solid, and the PDA holder slots on to the neck very solidly. I will be ordering another one or two of these right away because the way this model works is exactly what I need for a Storm-type PDA, but it is very hard to find these anymore because the market has been flooded with cheap Asian exports that are poorly-designed and built. I will be stocking up on these while I still can. It's true that this kit does not contain the four-screw plastic mount pictured, but it has everything I need for a windshield-mount setup. I'm buying extra units of this because these holders do indeed typically only last for several months, but I have no alternative to using them; My Sirius satellite receiver already takes up the top of my dashboard, so the window is the only place I can mount my BlackBerry for its GPS function. If this is your particular problem, then I highly recommend this model.
Ok, not great September 17, 2009

The flexible arm is not as sturdy as I would like, but the product is ok for use with an iphone.
Not 100% As Seen in Picture May 13, 2009

Obviously the GPS isn't included, but you will notice in the picture, in the lower left, there is a square-ish looking component with 4 screw holes and a notch cut out. This piece is used to permanently attach the cradle mount holder to the dash, or elsewhere in the car.
The kit does not come with this piece.
After thoroughly re-reading the description, I realized nowhere does it say that this piece is included, so it's really my fault for not paying close enough attention to the description.
I had a use for this piece and was disappointed it wasn't included.
Included are 3 pieces: the suction mount and permanently attached flexible arm, the cradle, and the visor mount.
Also, there are no mounting discs for the suction cup, either, but the instructions do references them, as an optional accessory.
All-in-all, the device seems to be made well for the money ($19.99). I saw similar devices in the store for more money and they appeared to be made more cheaply, or only-as-well, as this one.
I found the cradle in this unit to be a slimmer design than other's I've seen, so if a tight spot for the cradle is a concern, this one may work for you.
I gave it 4 stars because it didn't include 25% of what I expected to be in the package.
I did this rating because others may be looking for that permanent mount, as I was, and I don't want them disappointed - like I was - that it wasn't included.
