Suggestions on how to place a Blackberry 8700 in a e90?

There is no cradle available apparently, so I am looking for anyone who has a bb 8700 with advice.

thanks

Are you wondering where you should keep it while you are driving? FWIW, I just drop mine in the armrest console and close it. Reception is still good even closed up in there. I use a 7290, I think... basically the prior generation to yours.

BTW, is there a cradle for any of the BBs? Not that I really need one, but just wondering.

I put mine in the door pull handle on the drivers side. Fits perfectly!

If you mean cradle as a place to just "stick" it , there are a menagarie of places in the car for that.

However, THB Germany makes a few car kits that have hands free cradles for the phone.

You can purchase those here, however, they don't integrate into the current bluetooth system, they do provide better reception and such, and charge the battery.
