Does anyone have any recommendations for the best bicycle mount to use with my Nexus S?
Thanks for your help.
Give this thing a try.

I'm doing mountain biking with this:

The bag is for iPhone, but Nexus S fits well into it.

I have been looking for a TriPod holder for the Nexus One, I was wondering if anybody new of one they could recommend?
I found this: http://goo.gl/isBX but I am not sure if this would work securely for the Nexus One?
and here a guy who made his own from a car mount: http://goo.gl/b46x
I also found this one: http://goo.gl/xkci
Not sure if its what your wanting but..
I have this mounted on my motorcycle, fits nice and tight. It is not the cheapest mount there is but the way I see it, not exactly the cheapest phone either so... That being said, I did lose one phone but it was not because of the mount. It was shall we say, user error more than anything else.
She felt pretty bad too, but hey.. Replaced that G1 (2nd one) with my Nexus One. Miss the real keyboard on the G1 but the Need for speed requires it.
Check out www.proclipusa.com
Hands down its the best mount out there, anyone interested in buying one for a G1? Still have it but mildly useless without the phone. Using the Handlebar Mount with Tilt Swivel on it which would easy connect to the center bar of a real tripod mount but something could easily be hacked together and be waaay solid. Did a 10 mile trek on a washboard road on the motorcycle at high speed with the phone connected and never skipped a beat and that was with the G1 keyboard opened up and phone horizontal. Can send you a pic of you want.
Has anyone found a car mount specifically for a Dell Streak 7?
Sure, I know that the Arkon mount works. Yes, I know Ram Mount makes a universal one. But I want one that is made for the Streak 7, much like the one that Dell made for the Streak 5.
<I'd post a link to the Streak 5 mount, but the forum won't let me.>
Anyone know of such a thing?
I just ordered one of these.

Thanks, but I think that is the Arkon mount.
I ordered a cheap ebay mount, and a cheap ebay hard case/cover. I'm going to cut the "fingers" off the mount and put velcro on it. Then put velcro on the cheap case and I should have a decent looking mount that's easy to put the streak in and out.
If it works, I'll post some pics.

I was looking at this, and seems like a better solution than leaving my tablet on my passenger seat while i play music over bluetooth.

Looks like a clone of the Satechi mount:
[search for "satechi ST-TP01" on amazon]

I personally think the arms are too flimsy and easily breakable. The next best non-windshield one is by Exomount but that's a whopping $50 and it's bulky. I'm waiting for a decent CD slot mount from Mountek (heard they were gonna make one).

I have this and a few other members here use it. Holds up pretty well and you can have a tpu case on it and still use it.
Fa1- thank you for the link, I'll keep my eye out for the CD mount.
Kpjimmy- thanks for the suggestion, but im trying to avoid windshield mounts.

I've had cd mounts. To me, they aren't the most reliable thing to put your coveted N7 on lol...but the ones that are coming out I have yet to see.
The arkon can be a dash-w/ help from a dash disk or windshield mount. So it's the best of both worlds IMO. I interchange my Arkon phone mount and now the tablet mount when I want to switch on the torque app
Yeah I was thinking of doing that with the Arkon but wouldn't the sun eventually kill the adhesive on the dash disc?
I had this Arkon floor mount put in my truck for my old Galaxy Tab:
http://www.arkon.com/tablet-accessories/universal-tablet-car-mount.html
It was pretty easy to install; it's a bit more permanent than a dash or window mount, but it can be taken out in just a few minutes. It also comfortably holds my iPod or N7 and it keeps it out of the way but still easily viewable/accessible.

I live in Texas. The adhesive sticks great big time. You'll have issues of the plastic warping first before the adhesive gives out, if it does.
I know it is very early in the phone's life to have a mount just for the m8, but does anyone have a bicycle mount for mountain biking they like. the case I had for my gnex is too small.

I bought the otter box defender case and a handlebar bottle cage mount. Now I need to get time to put it i. Only issue is the otterbox takes a minute to set uon
Over the weekend I received all the parts and put it together, I really like using the otter box for the phone mount. It was very sturdy and when needed I was able to take the phone off the clip easily.
only issue is it takes a minute to put the phone in the otter box each day.
Have any of you found a good mount for our mountain bikes? I saw a few on amazon, but I thought I'd check here first. What I'm looking to do is have AllTrails running infront of me while riding.
I haven't found anything that I really like. I'm using a NiteIze strap by the stem for now, but the 5X with a case is pushing it's stretching capabilities. I was thinking about trying the quadlock but I don't think I will like the extra bulk added by the lock. I've seen that some guys use the Ram X mount on their motorcycles but I'ts kind of bulky It doesn't feel secure enough to me if you aren't riding smoothly. I've just kept it in my car and not on my dualsport/dirtbike or my mountain bike.
