Halfords mobile phone holder ...?
Boring question coming up. Anybody bought one of the Halfords flexible/sucker-type phone holders? I need a new one and these would seem to fit the bill (the PDA type one) but I'm interested in how robust the grip mechanism is. It's one of those 'squeeze sides onto the phone then push button to release phone' thingies ... I've had a couple in the past that give up the ghost after 5 minutes.
Comments welcome......

BLUETOOTH GPS RECEIVER TOMTOM 6 HTC HP IPAQ PHONE NOKIA on eBay (end time 14-Jul-09 11:46:37 BST)
Basically a suction holder with a ball swivel to move around. Fits all PDA fones easy enough (mines the SE W960i), and has a built in speaker whilst being a GPS reciever for my fones Satnav.
Bargain in my eyes and a useful bit of kit.

Seems a bargain to me too. But I've already got the charger/bluetooth (BT built into radio) sorted out. Just need the holder. The thing about online purchases is you can't 'check-out the quality' first ...

Now have a proper holder that fits behind the stereo, and never looked back

Answer to your question: Yes and they are a waste of money. Bought one a while ago to fit into my car left it overnight stuck to the front windscreen and came to get in the car the following morning only to find it had un-stuck itself.

I've got two of the Halfords ones, one in my GTR to hold the PowerFC Commander and one in my Alfa to hold my mobile (and my TomTom temporarily after MrsREV left the proper TomTom holder in a hire car). I have also used the one in the GTR to hold my iPhone when using Dynolicious and it holds it very well. I've never had either the holder or the phone come loose under hard acceleration or cornering.
My advice, when you stick it on, clean the bit of windscreen, lick the sucker and whack it on. Job done.
