does this charge flip sideways/landscape so i can use it for satnav or would i be better with the trailblazer for my sony ericcson x10?

[MobileFunTV]

the X10 might be a bit too big for trailblazer. This will hold it no problem. the holder itself doesn't rotate as such - you'd just put your phone on it in landscape mode,

[robblac]

does it do landscape to use the phones sat nav ?

[MobileFunTV]

it depends on your phone, but in most cases yes. as long as a flat part of the back of your phone can make contact with the red dot you'll be fine.

the red dot on the holder, pause the video at 0:01 and you'll see what i mean

Blimey. I can't imagine those speed bumps are doing your car any good!

[MobileFunTV]

me either! They're pretty severe bumps to slow down the trucks and lorries that race around the site. All seems to be ok so far though.

Help Help Help...I just purchase one of these, i am using IPHONE 4 with no covers just glass back and front, both surfaces are very clean, Dash genie new out of the box, and first i tried landscape, fell off straight away, tried again, dont like the lcd moving with pressing on my phone, but its the only way to apply a little pressure, any way fell off 3 times, and cos i thought it was working, i dident think it would come off, its just going to damage the phone: same vertical, any ideas, ?

[dapperdal]

it wasnt very good actually.  the milestones too heavy even for a clean Genie. it works alright with my HTC desire. but u gotta clean it so much. i was very dissappointed as i hit the kerb and almost crashed when my milestone come out and slid across the dash almost going out the window. i swerved to avoid the phone going out the open window. poor alloy wheels :( i wish it had more securing in the phone in.

how did the genie go with youre milestone?
