bike bracket for nokia 5800

Mint Sauce

anyone ever seen or heard of such a thing, ever since discovering the new ovi maps for the 5800 been trying to think of a way of attaching the phone to the bike, prefebly to the stem.

might be just a fantasy but i can see its uses.

That's mad, I was just looking that up today.
Here's one I saw on ebay:

Have you checked out the Nokia Sports Tracker ?

use sportracker on pretty much all rides (e66 though)
quick question how do you plan to keep it dry ?

that would certainly be an issue, the current combination of screen protecter and silicon cover would make it to bulky for the braket, failing that only bring it out on dry days

Though on a serious note.... would wrapping a sandwich bag around it work ?

For 6 euro for the bracket, I'm tempted to give it a go !

You still get a decent signal for the GPS ?
I wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference,
but haven't really tested it.
Only got Sportstracker last week.....so still working things out.

lafors

I used one of these before I got my Garmin, works a treat.

yep no signal prob, used to have one spot on a regular route that would lose the signal, but one of the updates sorted that out, yesterdays ride
