Using the Droid 2 on the bike
After some research I found the most cost effective solution to using the Droid 2 on the bike. I purchased the OEM Car Window Mount cradle (http://www.amazon.com/Droid-Vehicle-...4595070&sr=8-1) and the IG-B01A: i.Trek Bike Mount for Garmin Nuvi (http://www.amazon.com/IG-B01A-i-Trek.../dp/B001EUCWQK). The i.Trek mount uses the same ball size as the OEM cradle. Works like a charm! An added benefit is that you can take the cradle from mount to mount (bike to car) very easily. I now have 1) unlimited music (Pandora, last.FM, & MP3s) and GPS, all in one device!

Krazy3 you can! You plug in your headset and then plug your cell phone into the radio by way of the auxiliary cable, set the radio to auxiliary and away you go. This isn't my find so I can't take credit for it, and I only tried it in the garage so I don't know if it would work on the road. Kind of cool, but then again....

No, no, no...I will not talk on the phone while riding. However, it is nice to see if someone called, and how many times. If it's important you just KNOW they'll be calling several times. I can then pull over somewhere safe and call back. If not, I can return any calls on the next stop.
The i.Trek fits the 1" bars just fine. I took a piece of rubber tubing and cut it the with of the clamp. It seems to me that it holds tighter (may be a false sense). The car cradle has a clamp on top that holds the phone in place pretty securely. At idle is seems to shake a bit with the handle bars, but goes away with a bit of throttle. I don't get the feeling it's going to fall off. Seems pretty secure.

Isn't it both though? The google maps is awesome (and free) and you can play satellite radio through the phone. Or at least you could.
