Since I ride everyday to work I have a Nokia cell phone which I use in case of emergency which is serviced through CellularOne in California.I carry the phone on me when riding and would now want to upgrade my phone for a lighter/newer model.My phone is a Nokia 232 and heavy by todays standard.I have used the phone when I ran out of gas,used it to report a hit and run,and used it at the motorcycle races to contact friends.I know this is not a motorcycle topic but the phone comes in handy when wheeling and dealing on motorcycle topics to friends or MC shops.I like the Nokia 6160/6162 or the 8860.I would buy a Motorola Tac flip phone if it is covered under CellularOne.Anyone had good experience with Motorola or does anyone know any good website to go to and compair the vaious cellphone and service.I know in Europe the Nokia is the brand most used and in the Far East the Motorola is the brand to buy.I'm looking for a light phone and can with stand being dropped with out failing.I know I have dropped my Nokia many times and the phone still works.Thanks for any help.

Hi Cisco,

I have a Nokia 6160 phone that I mounted on the triple clamp by drilling and tapping an 8-32 thread to the lower right bolt. I then purchased the Nokia stand for it and attached it. It looks real nice and the phone goes in and out in a second.
I also run an AutoCom unit that intergrates the cellphone and allows me to use the helmet mike and speakers to talk while I'm riding the bike. If you have any questions just call me.

Ride Safe, RJ
