Bought this will some trepidation reading some of the other reviews but it works amazingly with the Sprint HTC Hero. It comes with a mini USB Power plug and some other adapter for some devices. Not sure what it is for. It also has the right sized audio plug for the Sprint HTC Hero. The FM transmitter is clear and easy to use. Just set it and forget it. It remembers the station between power cycles. I listen to music when traveling and when a call comes in the music on the Hero pauses and the call comes through. Music and phone calls are clear. Listening to music and the Sprint Navigation at the same time is interesting but that is an issue with the Hero, not this product.
One downside that I found was the placement of the USB power outlet on the device. It is on the right side and I feel that it just sticks out there. It hasn’t been a problem though. The other downside is the audio plug should have been a 90 degree plug because it sticks out of the top of the Hero a bit too far.

All in all I’m pleased with this product but it’s not near how it was advertised for my device. It’s marketed for the T-Mobile G1 (among others) aka HTC Dream. One of the features is that it plays the audio and charges the phone at the same time. Out of the box it doesn’t even come close. G1 owners know that there is only one HTC USB port on the phone. The inputs on the mount are 3.5mm audio and USB. I figured no bigee, I already had a 3.5mm to HTC USB adapter but of course this ended up not working right cause still no phone charging. I figured the next logical step would be to an HTC USB splitter. Almost but not quite. When you have the USB power line (I also tried a regular car adapter into the splitter) there’s a lot of interference on the audio side (theyre right next to each other on the splitter). As my engine cycles higher than 2000 it gets much worse. I may try to work out some sort of shielding on the wire but I think this is a lot to go through when it was advertised to play and charge at the same time. Nonetheless, using Navigator or just .mp3s out of the car’s stereo without batteries is totally sweet. When not charging, the audio quality is excellent.

I bought this for my wife’s birthday so she can charge, listen to music, use google navigation, and talk hands free using her HTC Mytouch 3G. I tested the unit last night and I believe the frustration of other reviewers here, is a problem with the phone not having a 3.5 jack. If you use this car mount for Mytouch then you will have to switch between charging and listening since there is only one connection (which in my opinion is a fault of the phone). That being said, I think this unit is great and one of the only available for this phone. There is a small USB 2.0 to mini USB for the Mytouch 3G included in the box I recieved.
Everything worked fine and I will update if things change with regular use.

This is a good single unit solution for a Motorola Droid. If your cigarette lighter/powerpoint is located somewhere convenient then this works well as a mount/charger/fm tuner all-in-one. Also easily moves between vehicles for when you want to bring your music on a roadtrip in another car. Good construction and the sound comes through loud and clear on my FM radio.

used this item for my g1 google phone. you need to buy the htc multi adapter and download an app called toggle headset 2 for the htc adapter to charge your phone and listen to music at the same time. this car mount’s gripper does not grip hard enough and sometimes the phone will fall off. lastly, it does not rotate in a horizontal position which is the best position when you use your g1 phone for google navigation. make it rotate and have the gripper tighter then i will give it 4 stars.
