MobileFun Universal Car Phone Holder Is A Bargain

When it comes to placing your phone securely in your car and being able to access it easily while driving, there are hundreds and thousands of solutions. Many of them are dedicated to one phone and have to be replaced when you change it, and many are incredibly expensive. But if you want a cheap universal car holder, you can’t go wrong with the Universal Car Phone Holder from MobileFun.Co.Uk.

This 7$ car holder comes with an air vent clip as well as a sticky pad, so you can attach it to the air vent in your car, or the windshield. It’s small enough, black, so it fits with most car interiors and doesn’t look cheap. The right side is also adjustable, so you can fit a phone as small as the Nokia C5 or expand it to fit something as wide as an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Here are a couple of shots from the Universal Car Phone Holder fixed on my Mercedes C230’s air vent, with the Nokia C5 and my iPod Touch used for reference as to what you can fix on it.

The Top 5 Universal Phone & Gadget Accessories

I’ve tested dozens if not hundreds of accessories over the years, and I really mean that. Screen protectors, cases, chargers, headphones, stands, tripods, bluetooth accessories, I’ve seen it all. But over the years only a few accessories have gone past the “oh I like it” stage to becoming an integral part of my daily usage. These accessories, for the most part, are universal: they will fit any gadget I am carrying which is a must for someone like me who changes devices and manufacturers often and owns quite a few different phones, not to mention trials a lot more.

Exclusive Video: Nokia N8 operated via Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse!

I’m sure you have already seen quite a lot of the Nokia N8’s Features. I managed to get my hands on it again, and to be honest, the release date can’t come soon enough. Top Notch hardware, phenomenal camera unit and a very noticable faster Symbian^3 made up for a great hands-on experience. Obviously, i won’t talk much into the Software yet, since this is all in proto status. But trust me, its a lot faster than all other phones before. Symbian and Nokia show us with the N8 what is poossible without any high-end specs, which is a great thing.

One thing that also comes as a first on the N8 is the Ability to connect Bluetooth Input Devices to the Phone – and work with it!! In our Case, me and Christoph (from Nokia Austria, thanks again) have used a Logitech Bluetooth Mouse and good ol’ Nokia SU-8W, a Bluetooth Keyboard. How its done? it’s as simple as connecting a BT Headset, enter Bluetooth Menu, search for input devices, choose, enter the 4-digit-code, done. Once the Mouse is connected, there is a small Mouse Pointer visible, and there you go. You can even use the right mouse button to go back to Home Screen, even scrolling is possible. Connect your N8 to a TV, couple it with your Keyboard and Mouse, and answer your mails right from the big Screen!! How about that!?

The possibilities are endless, its up to you to realize them 🙂
