Nokia CR-96 for N95

Waste of money, go for the Brodit one. Much more flexibility, looks much better in the car and doesn't leave that 'I have an expensive electronics device, please break into my car' ring on your window!

Ahh but I don't use it in a car .It will be used in HGV that I drive at the weekends as the regular driver just uses a CK-7W to make and receive calls . I don't want to drill holes in the dash so a "stick on " is the only way for me to see the N95 when I'm running Tomtom 6.

I've been using Brodit holders since Nokia dragged their feet with a N70 holder. If they think they can dip into my wallet with this year-late and inferior item then they will receive the rough edge of my tongue.

Maybe you should look into Brodit before discounting them then, since they require no drilling at all.

All the brodit holders that are suitable for the N95 have the following instructions with them-www.brodit.com
Please read all of the instructions and look at the pictures before attaching the holder.

1. Loosen the screw in the center of the holder so you can remove the tilt swivel attaching plate on the back.

2. Place the attaching plate on desired position. Screw the attaching plate into place with the enclosed screws.

3. Place the holder over the attaching plate so the tilt swivel fits. Screw the holder onto the attaching plate.

4. The holder is in place.

I think I said I wanted something that did not have to be screwed in place.

You screw the holder to the plate. The plate clips into the vehicle. The idea of Brodit is that you buy a plate designed for the vehicle and a holder designed for the phone and screw them together. This means you can change vehicle or phone and only buy on or the other. I'll pop a photo of mine up later to demonstrate
