I have a Treo650 and it's flying all over the car.

You know you have a small car when a thread talking about where to put your phone gets 8 responses.

I used to store mine in coin slot, and it fit perfectly (almost as though the phone was made for the slot).. it was the Kyocera Slider phone. That phone crapped out though, and my new LG 5550 won't fit in the coin slot, so it just goes in the cup holder, which sucks cuz I hate having the little door open (I can feel it poke into my arm when it's resting there, plus I lose my cup holder spot).
I'm considering getting a belt clip for the phone so I can clip it onto my visor (similar to the way a garage door open clips onto your visor). Anyone have any experience with this? Is it a good spot?

I use this


I stuck it to the drivers side od the radio cover, Only problem is you have to move your phone before you can change CD's. It works awesome, I can clearly see who is calling me without touching the phone. It is really cheap too.

Mine rests in my crotch, set to vibrate. Apart from the obvious pleasant physical sensation, I can always tell when it's ringing, and it's easy to get to. It's too tough to try to dig it out of my front pockets, and if I do put it in my left pocket (it's normal spot the rest of the day), the door speaker keeps making me think the phone is ringing.

Only problem is that when I tell the passenger "It's for you", they seldom want to take the call, without first using a disinfectant wipe....

So, do you get a lot of prank calls from people who talk dirty, or is that just a matter of perception?

I put mine between my right thigh and the console with the charger cord tucked between the seat and console. I use the ear piece to know who's calling thanks to custom ring settings

Works great, I've done this with all the Motorola cell phones I've had and can't find a better spot. It's easy to reach when it rings, stays out of the way, and never moves no matter how hard I take a corner.
i have never used by belt clip but i never thought about using it that way. good idea!!!
