 Unfortunately, not the Best Solution for Me August 12, 2008

I decided to try out this mount after reading a few good reviews, and I had very high hopes. My Honda Element makes it a little tricky for me to mount my phone; given that previous reviewers noted that the adhesive on this mount worked well, I thought I'd give it a shot.
The construction is solid, although it's a bit difficult to put together. Make sure you have a set of needle-nose pliers and a solid screwdriver before ordering. Once put together, however, the mount is quite sturdy. Furthermore, the magnets are, indeed, incredibly powerful, so you probably should not worry about your phone slipping its moorings.
The downside for me was attempting to install it in my Element. For those unaware, this car doesn't really have many "smooth" surfaces. Everything is textured in one way or another, which makes car adhesives go apoplectic. Thus, I didn't think it unusual that the adhesive on this mount didn't stick. What surprised me is that the super-tacky double-sided tape I have didn't work any better. Granted, the 1,000 degree August heat in Texas was likely a factor, but it's held in other applications.
Ultimately, I just couldn't use the mount. However, I decided to give it three stars because of its construction -- and because other users may find this the perfect addition to their cars. If you have a smooth, flat surface, you may just love it.
 Great Little Mount. As Described July 24, 2008

I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised by this little (and inexpensive) device. It does what it says it does! The magnet is plenty strong enough to hold my Blackberry Curve 8330 without any slippage or concern even under hard acceleration and braking. If you have a large battery in your device, or a magnetic casing, it may stick directly to the mount without the aid of the included metal plate, of which the kit contains two. One large, flexible rectangle, and one small circle. Both of which attract a surprising amount of magnetic force. The circle is all I needed to affix my blackberry curve to the mount, and I placed the circle on the back of my blackberry UNDERNEATH my plastic Seidio Super Slim Hard Case for BlackBerry 8300/8310/8320 Curve (Rubberized) case and it still held fast. As far as affixing the actual mount to the dashboard, again, I found the included double sided adhesive to do the trick. The ball joint provides a nice amount of articulation as well. One more thing to note. It is hard to tell in the picture, but the surface that you actually place your device on (the magnetic area) is actually a HARD RUBBER, NOT PLASTIC, which I found to be very nice, because you do not have to worry about scratching your device. Similarly, as the title of the mount suggests, the base (which you will stick to your dash, etc) is FLEXIBLE, so it is not a problem to stick it to a rounded surface. For the price amazon has it on, I wouldn't hesitate to pick this up again... One in every vehicle, one for every device.
