| Dec 20, 2010 at 19:38 | comment | added | freiheit | It's possible this question could get some good answers on android.SE. | |
| Dec 18, 2010 at 15:08 | comment | added | Murph | Yes, but those gizmos, I have one, are designed to live on a bike exposed to the elements. | |

| Dec 17, 2010 at 21:06 | comment | added | user313 | @Ian - "Give that it is not safe to touch or look at a phone while cycling, I don’t think mounting a phone on a handle bar is a safe thing to do." - I've been touching and looking at my heart rate monitor and cycle computer for years now. How is a smartphone any different? | |
| Dec 17, 2010 at 21:00 | comment | added | user313 | @Murph - Garmin has a few products designed to be mounted on handlebars with a price tag upwards of US $350. So, instead of buying another gizmo, I'd gladly mount my smartphone there. | |

| Dec 3, 2010 at 9:01 | comment | added | Murph | @neilfein - Why limit it to "android"? The question (and there's another about an iPhone) relates to slab-like smartphones. Given how much one is worth ($400 and up) I wouldn't want to put it on the handlebars... (I have a Windows Phone 7 - similar size, spec, etc) | |
| Dec 2, 2010 at 18:22 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | I think we can answer this question with the assumption that the question author wants to use the phone as a GPS and bike computer while riding, which seems fine to me. @wdypdx22, you might consider making the question more general, to cover more types of Android phones; you're more likely to get answers that way. (If nobody here has an answer, you can also try asking at android.stackexchange.com.) | |

| Dec 2, 2010 at 17:21 | comment | added | freiheit | Might be some compatible suggestions here: bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/725/… (you already knew that, but might help somebody who visits this question later) | |
| Dec 2, 2010 at 16:48 | comment | added | user229044 | @Ian Agree with @freiheit. It's no more dangerous than a speedometer or GPS. | |
| Dec 2, 2010 at 16:02 | comment | added | freiheit | @Ian: There's apps for many smartphones that could be useful while cycling. Especially GPS and cyclometer type apps. You wouldn't be "using a phone", you'd be glancing down at a display of where you are, how fast you're going, or something like that... | |

| Dec 2, 2010 at 9:21 | comment | added | Murph | Might be worth changing it from "Evo" to "large smartphone" to make it more generic... | |
| Dec 2, 2010 at 6:40 | comment | added | user313 | Yes Neilfein. From what I gather, we can name off every phone on this site. | |

| Dec 2, 2010 at 3:31 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | Is an EVO phone a specific type of Android phone? | |
