i don't get it...you're going to answer the phone while riding?
personally, i get on my bike to get away from anyone who might want to call me on my damned cell phone. only reason i bring the f**kin thing is in case i wreck or break down somewhere, but that's it.
you guys on the touring bikes already have a radio, fairing, windshield, bags for luggage, and now you want a clip for your phone?
dude, park the bike and get in the car.
and that's not a flame to touring bikes, my dad rides a street glide and i love that bike, steal it every chance i get, but come on...
bar mounted ipod/cup holder/cell phone?
get back to riding, man.

I have a Droid. It has 16 gigs of memory on a micro SD card so I can put a ton of music on it. I have heard it will support 32 and 64 gig cards when they are available. It also has a great GPS navigation system which is free (no additional service fees) and has turn by turn navigation. The Motorola car mount does have a magnet in it which keeps the phone from going to sleep when you use it for GPS. FWIW, the phone works best in GPS mode when it is displayed horizontally to take advantage of the wide screen display.

The Motorola mount has a magnet that puts the phone into GPS mode as soon as its clicked in. They motorola mount also has the suction cup mount that will work suctioned to your rpm gage extremely well. I would recommend the newer mount that just came out that puts it in a heavy protective case that clips onto the suction mount. The better part of it all is its only 29.99. The mount does allow it to stay lit up at all times but you better carry your car charger with you because a 3 or 4 hour trip will drain the battery. The Droid is a multimedia device that will allow it to be used as an MP3.

I can understand using it as a GPS and even as a MP3 player. But if you're going to do all that, why not go with the Garmin Zumo? GPS, XM radio and bluetooth so you COULD use the phone.
