Bike Mount?? - S740, S743 Accessories

Does anyone know of a bike mount for the s740?? I'd like to mount my phone on my moutain bike for sat nav & more importantly runGPS sports trainer.
It seems this phone's not particularly supported by the companies who make phone-specific brackets. For my old n95 I had a RAM mount that was quite inexpensive. The only brand I can find that do a mount specific for the s740 is brodit, and they seem pretty expensive.
There are of course loads of universal ones available, but it looks to me like the s740 would be too narrow? Anyone tried a universal mount?
And I'm not too comfortable putting my phone in a universal bracket, just doesn't seem secure.
Any recommendations? Anyone found any?
I guess I could attach the passive brodit mount to my RAM mount's handlebar clamp, the brodit mounts are pretty tight.
runGPS is a superb piece of kit for running/cycling, I highly recommend it!

I use the metal case from the BRANDO company mounted on a universal bracket (SH Holder).

I think either of the Capdase car mounts will be suitable for the N1.
You can find them at Vinko's Treasures under Car Accessories.

If the OEM car dock does not come out soon, I'm going to purchase one of these. You can get one that has a felt lining to protect the phone.

Won't either the Capdase "Car Mount Duo Holder" or "Car Mount Holder" do the trick? They both has cushioned padding to protect the phone from being damaged while installed in the holder.

[Q] Car Dashboard mount?

Anybody know of a case or mount that attaches to the console or something on the inside of a car? My new DVP replaced my iPod which was pumping music through my car radio, and cant sit on its own in the cup holder (its a bit larger).
Any suggestions?

I have a Clingo Vent Mount. There's a review on MobilityDigest.com Works great, but you need a case to use it (I use mine with an otterbox case). The ahesive is extremely strong and I wouldnt want to use it on the Venue Pro's backcover. They also make a windows suction mount. Check amazon, they have the lowest prices I found for them.
I can't post links but if you use the search bar on the right of the site and look up "clingo" it should pop up
I bought Clingo Vent mount too and it works great on DVP!
I have no case for my phone and i have no problems.

Looking for car dock

Anyone know of a car dock that will work with the g2x? I currently have a Garmin Nuvi handheld GPS unit that clips into a ball-socket mount on my dash, but the Garmin maps are over a year old now, and I dont' want to pay to update them. Also, the interface itself is soooo slow. I'd rather just use my phone and I"ll give the Garmin to a friend.
I bought THIS last week and its been great. not 100% solid so there is some visible vibration while driving but it not like you stare at it while you drive so not a problem.
LG OEM G2x Mount
Does that mount work with a G2x phone that has a T-mobile gelskin on it?
And to the OP - regarding garmin map updates - I'm sure if you are resourceful you can find what you need on the internet, somewhere (wink wink).
you mean like a body glove or a case?
i went to tmobile and got their universal dock and it works great...i have an extended battery on it and it still manages to fit and stay in place. its 29.99 but i went during july and used the half off coupon to get it....has a 3.5 cable included and a micro usb port for charging
I bought the official LG Navigation mount for my G2X and
it is a superior mount that I highly recommend, works great!

Will this mount work with a case on the phone?
Cheap G2x mount
I got a cheap car mount at Walmart (auto section, not electronics), its also available at O'Reileys. Its made by Custom Accessories, its called "MP3 Player/Phone Holder". It was $7.96. It comes with a Windshield mount suction cup with a lever to engage/disengage, (and a mount with adhesive to put on your dash then use the suction cup) and a flexible goose neck to connect the holder to the suction cup. It comes apart to ease packing.
Its just barely wide enough for the G2x, so it won't work with any sort of case.
The T-Mobile/LG OEM mount pictured above that several people have inquired about will NOT work with a case. The way the phone clips in isn't deep enough but for a skin. I do recommend it though as it's a fantastic mount and will work nicely with his current Garmin mount as the ball socket is the same. I just ditched my case (was using an inexpensive TPU) and got a neoprene sleeve. Not as robust against droppage but worth the trade-off IMO.

Brodit dash mount

My Brodit powered dash mount arrived today. They are way too expensive but to mind the best solution.
As Brodit clips don't really work on my car I use a mix of Brodit and Garmin bits as below.
I adapted a Garmin NUVI 200 (200W 205 205W) bracket mount by removing the curve sections so just leaving the ball mount and a flat surface.
I removed the ball mount from the Brodit mount and screwed the Garmin Nuvi mount in its place.
Finally it all joined a Garmin Zumo dash mount I already have in my car from previous phone and gps mounts.
I never found suction worked well for long but find this adaption, (I did something similar on my Nexus S), works flawlessly.

Universal Car Mount

Anyone have any good recommendations for a universal car mount for the 6P? My current one could use to be replaced anyway but it also makes it harder to use because of the way the buttons are arranged, so if anyone knows of any that work well I would appreciate the suggestion.
RAM X-Grip
Ram x grip or proclip universal t1 large
The X-Grip looks nice, do the nubs on the arms ever obstruct your view or annoy you?
No
I have the Monster Grip Universal Car Mount which is perfect if you swap phones often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqOG80Nh2RY

I'm very happy with my ProClip Universal mount. You have to buy both a phone holder and the mount (custom for your car, suction mount or magnetic mount) and it isn't the cheapest, but my car mount is VERY stable and the holder keeps the phone in place nicely (I have the air duct mount that is excellent). They now have the custom holder for the 6P on pre-order so you can get it with a charger built-in. I don't know if the charger will support rapid charging (no description available yet). They even have a 20% off sale going right now. http://www.proclipusa.com/mobile-device-holders/universal-holders/universal-phone-holders.aspx
Just had the Ipow Universal One Touch car holder

Always been a bit skeptical about the cd holders and was very surprised how stable this one is, looks great and has a nice soft finish, really holds the N6P well without any wobble.
I just picked up a Koomus Magnetic mount and so far this thing is awesome! It's very stable and it doesn't block the fingerprint reader so you can unlock the phone easily. I was skeptical of magnetic mounts, but after going over speed bumps, bumpy roads and sharp turns without any problems, I have no doubts about this mount. I also love the one handed operation and how it doesn't block the volume and power buttons like regular mounts do.
Here is the mount

Here are some additional pictures of the product as well as a comparison to the old style with the phone mounted in my car.
