DT-29: not just for the 5800? Update: Make Your Own
Published by Steve Litchfield at 13:34 UTC, January 12th 2009
I'll admit that Nokia's DT-29 phone stand, as shipped with the 5800 XpressMusic is somewhat more professional than my own paper clip version. Aaron, over at the N82 blog has put up a gallery of photos and comments on how well it works propping up his N82 for video watching and capturing - I think he's right and Nokia should market this as a standalone accessory.

Having decided (see comments below) to make my own, Blue Peter-style, here's the finished 'product':
And here's the PDF download you need: phoneholder.pdf (20K) Just follow the instructions. No screwdriver or hammer needed.
[Or you can buy the unit ready assembled in all good bookshops from AAS productions, finished in gold-leaf-plated cardboard for the very reasonable sum of £99.99! 8-) ]

Are you trying to put us out of business? No more fancy free phones for you, pal!

The silly little clear plastic thing you get from apple is no good if its in a case, an I certainly wouldnt take it out while at work.
Ill be honest, I actually made two as they are simple.
This would cost so little to make from cardboard, I wonder if a PDA magazine could give it away on a front cover (maybe PDA Essentials Steve?).
works nice for my n95 8gb. got a wine gums stand for it, better than black plastic
