HTC Desire
DriveTime HTC Desire Car Pack
Does what it says. V quick delivery as usual. Works perfect although I will say that if you have a casemate cover then you will need to remove it to fit into the cradle. ie - perfect fit for a naked HTC Desire. Doh! my fault :-)
Charges phone with navigation working, mobile net and blue tooth.

Superb Service
Having used these guys before I knew the product, HTC Desire Car Pack, would be perfect (and it is!) but I was amazed that placing the order at 5.20pm I received the goods at 9.40am the next day. Excellent service guys, yet again.

Car pack
The charger in this pack has had some stick on the reviews but it got me through a 5 1/2 hr journey just fine with my phone still being on full charge. The cradle also worked well and is a great fit.

Does what it says
The suction cup grips strongly, and there is plenty of adjustablity.
The only downside, is that there is no cutaway for the camera, but for me that is a minor.

Unfit for purpose
The holder is fine but the charger is terrible and totally inadequate for using the HTC Desire as a sat nav. This should not be sold as a "kit" for the Desire.

Good holder but charger not up to scratch
The holder works well but a kit targeted at Desire users really needs a charger rated higher than 500mA.

Holder good; charger not amazing
The holder is excellent, sticks to the screen no problem and has two points of adjustment so it's very flexible. Reaches to my lighter socket without the cable getting in the way (Ford Focus). Only problem is it doesn't charge that quickly. GPS with Google Navigation plus the screen bright enough to be seen properly all drink the juice quicker than the charger can cope with. Still recommended though.

Good product but the charger couldn't keep my HTC Desire SatNav going for a 3 hour journey. Looks like like it charges slower than the SatNav drains it.

Not impressed
Looks good when the phone is inserted and the holder is attached to the windscreen.
My big critism is that as my phone has a casemate case it is impoosible to remove the phone from the holder without it coming off the windscreen.
I don't want to have to remove the case first each time I use the holder
MobileFun Reply:
Thanks for the review, if you are looking for a case compatible car holder for your HTC Desire, we recommend this one.

Not great
A little dissapointed with this. The windscreen fixing bracket is clunky. A ball and socket system is far better than this two hinge system. It's massive and reallly awkward to adjust. Also agree with other comments about the cord - it really is far too short and can hardly reach the window. If you have a large car (I have an S-Max) another product would be preferable.

The mounting bracket and cigarette charger where not a disappointment.
The desire HD phone was the let down. The integrated speaker is so poor it's virtually no good for sat nav or speaker phone calls. Looks like the next purchase will need to be some kind of hands free kit.

Fit for Purpose
This windscreen mounting kit works well and has a very solid fix to the screen. The only draw back is its rather HUGE low tech design might not suit all, it's not over expensive and looks ok in my Jeep, but put it in a small car and it would look out of place.

HTC Wildfire Car Pack
I ordered the in car cradle and car charger primarily so I could use the Sat Nav on my HTC.
The car charger is essential as the sat nav eats the battery!
The holder is great; it can be adjusted so the phone is in portrait or landscape mode and unlike a lot of window fixing cradles it doesn't fall off!
As an added benefit I now find that using this kit and the speaker function on the HTC I now have a hands frre kit!
Small ctiritcism; the power cable leads from the windscreen holder to the cigarette lighter. In my case (Audi A4) that's near the gear stick. The inclusion of a couple of self-adhesive cable tidies would have made the kit perfect, but I suppose that's car specific?

Very impressed.
After checking out many holders for my Desire this one was not the cheapest. However, I wanted something that would last, a good build and good quality. After reading reviews for this product I decided this was the one.
The product itself is well built and worth the money. It sticks to the window by pulling a small leaver on the bottom .... and it sticks, does not move .. even with a tug! The phone fits just right. Not to tight and not to loose. You can adjust it very easily.
The only downside, which to me is not an issue, is the power lead for some maybe a bit short.
To sum up it does exeactly as the description says. If your in doubt about the charger functioning when you have GPS on, then it does.
For me its the perfect in-car pack for the Desire. Would recommend.

HTC Desire car kit
I wasn't sure what to expect from this kit with it being much cheaper than most of the others available. Arrived in a couple of days, well packaged and exactly as described.The holder stays put no matter what and the design is superb and much easier to manipulate than others I have had. With the press of a button you can position the holder exactly where you want it. My biggest concern was the car charger! I have read lots of reviews stating that some chargers can't charge and maintain when the sat nav is on. No problems here though. The battery is topped up on arrivable even with blutooth, WiFi and sat nav switched on. You can't beat this package for the price. I would definately reccommend it!!!!

Great thing, but don't yank it off the screen
I've been very please with this holder, so pleased that I am going to buy another one. The charger worked well and charged the phone even when using navigation and bluetooth audio streaming together. I can only assume that the suppliers have sorted out the power adapter issues that some people reported earlier.
The reason I'm buying a new one is that I managed to break the old one. It was so firmly attached to the screen that even when I released the lever, it wouldn't budge. Next time I'm in this situation I'll try and slide something under the suction cup instead of yanking the thing off and breaking the mechanism that pulls the cup away from the screen and forms the vacuum.

Great price - great service - all you can ask for.
I ordered my Car Pack and received the package within 48 hours. I expected it to be a bit tatty for the price, but was very pleasantly surprised to find out the build quality is really quite good.
I bought it for the in-car charger, and found the pack was the same price as a branded power lead. I now use the holder as my stereo, running Spotify through the car stereo. Perfect!
Great price, really good service - and overall very happy. I would definitely buy from here again.

Simple but effective piece of kit!
I had been using a different car to my usual car which has a phone mount in it for my Desire. As such, I needed a new mount and I also wanted to use the sat nav capability of the desire. This purchase was just the job. well made and robust. Plenty of angle adjustment for screen viewing and doesnt move when you are pressing the options on the desire screen. The flexible cable reaches fron the cigar lighter to the windscreen no problem. Oh,it does rattle a little when driving, but a bit of packing tape in the phone cradle sorted this out. An excellent product.

Great product, great value
Looks to be very well made and the adjustments and window suction are excellent. Holds the phone very snugly, without risk of marking the phone's exterior. My only wish would be for the charging cable to be a bit longer - it's a little bit stretched in order to charge in my 2001 Vectra. It gets 4 stars from me, would be 5 if it had a longer charge cable.
As a side note, my girlfriend's iPhone 3GS also fits in it perfectly.

exactly what i needed
Although I've only used the HTC desire car pack once it fits the bill perfectly, it feels really strong and tough and I love the way you push the buttons in to alter the angle of the device, rather than a ball and socket which can collect dirt and dust and become stiff to use, or worn loose, the charger worked equally as good, people have said some of the cheaper ones can't keep up with the charge when they're using sat nav facility but mine does with no probs, all in all a great product and glad I've bought one

Very good cradle, charger either
Very good cradle, very adjustable so should suit any placement, there is a little bit of play in the phone while sitting in the cradle but it doesn't wobble unless you purposefully adjust it as the sprung clip holds it firmly in place, and I'd rather have a little bit of play in it than a super tight fit that ends up scratching the phone anyway. The suction mount seems very solid too, the levered design makes it easy to fit securely and mine hasn't shown any sign of movement
Buyers be aware though that while the included charger seems capable enough and will happily keep the phone topped up if it is idling, it doesn't seem to give out enough charge to prevent the battery going down if you use applications such as Sat Nav like I do. Also it doesn't seem to enable 'car dock' mode on my HTC Desire when plugged in. From reading other reviews it seems that only the official HTC car charger can cope with applications like Sat Nav and still keep the phone charged, I have also read that 'car dock' is engaged by a connection being made between the 4th and 5th pins of the charger or something to that effect, so I can only assume that cheaper chargers such as the included one aren't built to that specification.
Nonetheless, this is still a reasonably priced, solid and highly adjustable car mount, and if you only need to keep your phone topped up then the included charger is more than adequate, if you need to run in car apps or keep your phone ready for (hands free) calls though then I recommend purchasing an official HTC car charger to go with it

Good holder, tight grip on phone. In fact too tight if you have your phone in a case as it will not fit. Bought this along with Case-Mate Barely There Case for HTC Desire, tried to put phone in holder & it will not fit. In-car charger is not powerful enough to re-charge phone while using several applications (e.g.SatNav & Bluetooth).

Excellent value
This is a very sturdy car holder for the HTC desire - it holds the phone rock solid in position with no hint of wobble, and fits the phone pretty much perfectly.
The arm might be better a little longer - on a steeply raked windscreen the top of the phone sits quite close to the windscreen making it harder to get the phone in and out. However this shouldn't be too big an issue for most people.
Having moved from a generic 'one size fits all' model that wobbled all over the place I'm very impressed and would recommend this holder to anyone who has a 'normal' car to go with their Desire.

Plan ahead where you will fit it for best results
The phone fits securely into the holder which can be oriented in any direction. The window clamp operates by suction (press a lever to get it to stick) and goes on and comes off again easily. Will stick to any smooth flat surface in your car. How useful you will find this product will depend on the arrangement of suitable window space and your car's 12v socket - the phone's relatively heavy battery use means you will want to have it connected to external power most of the time and you won't want to have the power cord trailing across your knees for too long!

...especially to power the phone during sat-nav. So, I ordered the C200 too. I was also going to order this:
HTC DC M400 Micro USB Sync & Charge Cable
...but was told there is no need because the Car Pack comes with a charge lead. However it only comes with a cigar lighter fixed cable, so I can't use it anywhere else. I'll need to order the M400 lead after-all.

Not great
Provides very solid mounting but not well designed for modern cars with very slopey front windows. On my car (VW Passat) the top of the phone hits the window when I try to tilt it at the right angle for viewing. Either the base needs to have a built-in slope so I don't need to tilt the arm so much or the arm needs to be longer (would be less solid). 90 degree rotation is handy for landscape viewing.

Nice windscreen holder not so great charger
Great holder, really easy to use and excellent for positioning exactly where you need it. Others have mentioned that its difficult to rotate from vertical to horizontal but this is completely untrue! The suction cup is really strong and holds everything very securely. It's not bulky like others I've seen but it's strong and sturdy. Be gentle when inserting the phone into the supports as they are plastic and you'll be happy you bought this. The charger is not great, it lacks power. I knew this beforehand and opted to buy the HTC charger which was a good move.

Great Car Mount, Poor Charger
The car mount works well, grips the phone without damaging it and without any chance of it falling out. The sucker for the windscreen is very effective and the adjustments are quick and easy, with a wide range of movements. Turning the desire into a great little satnav unit!
However if your after a car charger, this one's not great. It does charge the phone to a certain extent, but I'm guessing it just hasn't been designed to pump in the right amount of current because if your running Google Navigation it uses battery quicker than the charger can put it in. Not great!
But as I bought it mainly for the mount, it gets 4 stars from me!

The suction mount is great and very sturdy, fitting the desire perfectly. The charger however is flimsy and after a week it stopped working, sending it back for replacement, but I don't hold out much hope a new one will last any longer. it also doesn't seem to output enough power to charge the phone when using it for navigation and 3G.

As with other reviews this item is excellent. Very sturdy and sticks to the windscreen perfectly. It is a snug fit so have to take the skin off first unfortunately. It is a bit fiddly to adjust but otherwise it is perfect and does the job. The charger is a welcome addition.

HTC Desire car kit
The Desire car kit was delivered promptly. The mount holder was a surprise as it is so strong,stable and holds the phone firmly in place. It is extremely good value for money and I would readily recommend this to anyone with the HTC Desire. The charger cable is also well built but as with all car chargers the cable itself is a little on the short side. Or is that the design on modern cars putting the power socket where the cable has to stretch to reach the phone. Well done Mobile Fun.

desite car pack
Perfect fit, be careful about sliding the phone in because it will I guess eventually scratch.
It connects good to.the window, very strong. Joints are fine.
The cable is very short actually its too short.10 cm longer would be a big improvement already.
Good value for.money!

Great Kit and does maintain a HTC Desire charge on
This is a great Kit, having read other reviews I ordered another charger for my HTC Desire as I didn’t think the charger the Kit ships with would hold the battery at a steady state during a long journey using Google Maps Navigation.
Well I ordered the wrong Charger for my HTC Desire and had to make a 9 hour journey using the Kit stock charger, so having started the journey with a full charge, making sure the WiFi was turned off (as I didn’t need it on the motorway) and using Google Maps Navigation for 9 hours my HTC Desire maintained the full charge all the way to our destination!
So I think if you are using a HTC Desire and turn off WiFi whilst driving this Kit is a very good buy for the price..

Good value, adaptor is not well made.
The mobile holder (which attaches to the windshield) is absolutely superb - with no cover on the phone it leaves it gives a slightly shallow fit. Sticks to the screen extremely well.
The car charger however is of low quality, the USB connector for me came unsoldered (broke) within a week.
I'd recommend looking for another manufacturer of chargers, otherwise it's superb.

Quality Product
This is the second time of dealing with MobileFun and their service on both occasions has been first class, with deliveries both arriving the next day - well done! As far as the Desire Car Pack goes, my initial observation is that it is a well-made item. It is very rigid when screen mounted and no vibration whatsoever was noted on the phone itself. As I will be transferring the bracket between vehicles a couple of times a week, it will be a good test as to the durability of the suction grip and the various joints, but as already stated, initial assessment is 100% positive.

HTC Desire Car Pack
An excellent product, it does exactly what it says! Sturdy, easy to use and my HTC Desire phone is safe.
I also bought a HTC pouch for my partners Wildfire, very nice, fits well nice and soft with a protective liner.
I ordered the products at 13.00 and they were delivered to my door at 08.00 the next morning. Fantastic!!!!!

Great mount but not ideal for long journeys with G
The bundled car charger won't supply enough power to the phone to do GPS (you'll get a few hours if you start your journey with a full battery though). Really you'll need the official HTC charger instead which is wired to signal the phone to draw 1A (rather than 500mA which most micro USB chargers provide).
How to tell: Go to Settings - About Phone - Battery , when the HTC car charger or the mains charger is plugged in it'll say "Charging (AC)". That means it's capable of drawing 1 amp from the supply. When plugged into a USB port on a laptop, or when plugged into a non-HTC charger, it'll say "Charging (USB)" - so only 500mA,not enough for screen + GPS + network + keep battery charged.

Good solution
Hi,
Using this in our car for the last 3 months or so. The mount provides a good holding when fixed to the windscreen only suffering from the occasional fall and needing to be reseated.
The charger has worked fine.
Overall pretty happy with this for the money.

The windscreen stand is excellent and fits the phone exactly. At first the charger lead appeared a little short but unlike most of the coiled leads stretched easily and works well.

Good piece of kit
Like it. Sticks well to the screen. the holder is solid and nicely adjustable.
The power connector fits snugly and has a coiled lead, which is more than long enough.
Only complaint would be that the power doesn't seem quite man enough for the job... it charges the unit, but when sat nav is on, it drains slowly(probably still get 5 or 6 hours use before phone starts complaining about lack of charge).

Does the job
Using this car holder for my HTC desire. Does the job well - the suction cup holds well and doesn't dislodge when driving, and the mount fits the HTC desire perfectly. It comes with an in-car charger, but the length of the wire is quite short - as it is wound up, it will stretch across the length of the windscreen but is quite tight.

HTC Desire Car Pack - Great Quality
I wanted a mount so I could use my Desire as a sat-nav. I must admit I wasn't expecting much from the windscreen mount. With the Desire being such a new phone I was set to expect a product of low to middling quality.
I was bowled over by the mount. It's absolutely top-notch and holds the phone really securely in any position I could wish for. I can definitely recommend this kit to other desire owners looking for a car mount.
If I had any gripe it's that the charger isn't one where I can plug other USB cables in - it's all-in-one. It means I have to carry a separate USB cable to sync.

Just what I needed
As many have mentioned, the holder is great for this phone, it does have a little bit of movement if you don't have any sort of cover on it, but is perfectly fine imo.
My concern before buying this was a couple of comments about the charger not being up to the job. The charger is generic, does get a little warm and the coiled lead can pull on the holder a bit if you have it too far away, and I couldn't find any label on it to suggest what mA rating it has. However, having tried it out with a 40 min journey with gps and google nav running, it did charge my phone at the same time, and just recently on a 4 hour journey it kept the phoned fully charged all the way, so all in all, very pleased with it.

Won't charge
The cradle is fine, but the charger is only 500mA, not enough to keep the phone charged. For that you can get a universal Belkin or official HTC charger for £4 elsewhere, this delivers 1A and will charge the phone properly.

Good Item
Nice item. It fits snugly and fairly easy to use. Wasn't too sure about how well it stuck to the screen, but it seems to be okay at the moment. It needs to be naked to fit in i.e. no cover on unless it is really thin. So if you have a silicone cover, you might need to try something else more generic. Notwithstanding, I'm pleased with the purchase.

Well made
Good quality car holder, fits the Desire perfectly, feels sturdy and well made. The supplied charger is rated to 500mA, while the genuine HTC charger is rated 1A. I think someone else has stated that 500mA is not enough to charge and use GPS and Google maps all at once. Good as a backup/spare though.

A workable solution
Like a lot of people on the whole I think that this is a fairly good product. It has certainly enabled me to more efficiently use my phone when travelling. There are two points which detract from the overall rating. The first point concurs with most other people's reviews. The charging cable is too short (unless you mount your phone in the middle of the windscreen). The second point is the suction plate, there have been a number of instances where the phone mount has fell off the windscreen, this is a little annoying but manageable. As I stated on the whole not too bad a product

Skins/cases + cradle
As an in-car cradle and charger, it does the job. The cradle is sturdy, and can be a bit fiddly at times, but I'm sure I'll get used to that. The charger is small, and heats up a fair bit. Its also a bit of a stretch as I like to mount my cradle on the bottom right of my windscreen, and my cigarette lighter socket is in the central console next to the gear lever, but ... it fits, and it does the job. A word of warning about skin/cases, because I have an InvisibleShield fitted AND a flexi-case. I have to take the flexi-case OFF to get the phone into the cradle, and with the invisible (all over) sheild on it, it's a little awkward ... the phone doesn't slide in smoothly. However once in, it's a nice tight fit :)

Power supply not good
The Power supply does not supply enough power to the phone when the display is on, causing the phone to be discharged when running navigation applications.
After a minute or so, the charging led on the phone switch off, and after some time the phone shuts down with no more power on the batteries

Sturdy bit of kit which is easy to fit & use. Have my phone in a hard case & it's a nice tight fit. As mentioned before the charger lead is a bit short but still reaches my phone without to many issues. For the price it's very good value & recommended.
I ordered this at 5pm & it arrived the next day - now that's what I call good service!

A quality build but charging cable a little short
Having ordered the HTC Desire Car Pack yesterday afternoon and entered the promo code for free delivery I took delivery first thing this morning - impressive! Although it's not mounted yet, I've inspected the build quality and it looks as though it'll hold together for as long as the phone - super. I've seen mention that the charging cable, although coiled, may be a little too short and I'd have to agree with that point. All said, for speedy delivery and product cost, it looks to be well worth it - fabulous!

Very Good but.....
This is a very well made product but I think its misleading to say this is designed for the Desire as it quite simply is not. It is clearly designed for the ipone and although the product does the job the phone does have a certain amount of movement in the holder which could "possibly" scratch the phone over time! However since I dont think there is "as yet" a specificaly designed Desire car holder it is more than capable, just dont expect a perfect fit.

So neat!!
Love it - Holder is well made and feels very solid to the touch. Two pivot points giving you near 360 degree swivelling. Each pivot depends on you simply squeezing together the outsides of the joint and then locks into place as soon as you let go. Phone fits perfectly (as long as you don't have a cover on it), and it just looks so damned neat. Also get a car charger with it (Had already bought one grrrrr).
Only other car holder I thought was interesting was the trailblazer one which plugs straight into the cigarette lighter, but I'm more than happy with this one.

Good car mount for the money
Overall this is a great piece of kit. The mount itself secures to your windscreen securely and the phone is held in place using a spring mounted clip.
The charger has a coiled lead which is fine when the phone is mounted in portrait, but tugs on the USB connector when you switch to landscape. Because of this I'd rate it 4*.
