I made a mount out of polymorph - a trade name for a low melt plastic that 
feels similar to nylon, but becomes like putty at ~60C. Someone else routed a 
recess in a sheet of chipboard. I saw pictures of one made from folded acrylic 
sheet - very neat! Some have used commercial generic phone/pda holders. You 
could even go the whole hog and get an Otterbox PDA case with bike mount for 
all-weather ruggedness. At the other end of the scale someone was using a 
cable tie through the hole in the phone and round the handlebars!
