Sony Ericsson HCK-40 Car Accessory Pack

This pack consists of a standard car charger and a windscreen suction mount holder. The bulky part of the holder on the left hand side has a cover which un-clips and the Fast Port connector from the charger fits snugly in the cavity. Because the phone fits directly onto the Fast Port connector you don't have the ability to move the phone up or down to centralise it in the holder. My W995 has the Fast Port near the top of the phone which means that the phone is only gripped by the top third of its body. The keypad area therefore has no support behind it when you're pushing buttons to dial etc. The arm of the holder is very stiff to bend into shape which is good as it shouldn't sag under the weight of the phone. Unfortunately, being a single long rod with a weight at the end of it (ie the phone) every tiny bump in the road is magnified and the phone swings and bounces all over the place. Not a lot of use if you're using it for satnav purposes, not so bad if you're just talking but still an annoyance and distraction. The only way to stop it is to make sure the phone is resting against the dashboard when you position the holder on the windscreen. A bit of a nuisance and I can imagine it would cause abrasion to the dash surface over time as the phone rubs against it when it moves.

This item is spot on plenty of scope for positioning and visibility and of sturdy construction.
