This is probably one of the coolest BlackBerry accessories I've tested out so far. The iGrip car charging dock for the Torch 9800 mounts to the windshield or dash in your car and lets you easily drop in your Torch so you can use a navigation app on the go. I fired up AT&T Navigator while my Torch was in the dock and I have to say its just as good (if not better) than having a separate GPS unit. The dock is totally solid and stays secure so you don't have to worry about it dropping off the window. I really like the latch that secures down over the Torch once inserted - it ensures the phone is held secure whether used in landscape or portrait mode. When you get to wherever you're going, just pull your device out and take it with you. The video below is a bit of hand-on with the dock as well as a bit of in-car action to see just how it works. As of right now the iGrip BlackBerry Torch charging dock is only available via Smartphone Experts.

Was hoping the contest was available in Canada? Guess not...thought I hit the jackpot when I saw Toronto Wireless. How come your posted price for the iGrip and the navigator you use (AT&T) are American, when you are Canadian?
Hi Stu, the original article was from Crackberry and I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share it.
Hello Ray
I have a new Torch (and live in Toronto). Do you know if that cradle is available in a retail store, and also do you know if there is a good navigation app I could get equivalent in quality to my Garmin unit (so I could remove the Garmin from my windshield and replace it with the Torch)? Thanks.
