hi there, can anyone recommend a good sturdy air vent car cradle for my N95?

Must have possibility to connect charge at bottom.

Any recommendations on models and where to buy (uk)

Google for Brodit active cradles. I have been using one for about 4 months and its been perfect.

I made an active holder using a �4 universal car charger, and a couple of bits off of a cheap nokia desktop charger. It works brilliantly and cost me a total of �8. Il take some pics if you are interested!!

Brodit is such a rip off ... �30 ... too much.

Not a rip off at all. It might be expensive but it's worth it. The thing is with Brodit you get a holder specific for the phone and a clip specific for the car then screw them together. This is perfect becasue if you change car, you can use the same phone holder and if you change phone you can use the same clip PLUS the clip is a firm, natural fit that looks factory and requires no drilling glueing or suckers AND the holder is carefully designed so it doesn't push the buttons on the sides of the phone and therefore activate the gallery which most universal ones do

Hi all...there's a really good craddle on play.com for the nokia95 and it also has a charger facility attached. The craddle plugs directly into your cigrette lighter and it looks nice and neat. Its very good and cheap (�4.99). Its def worth the money!

For the theme go here guys/gals.
