I have the same phone and this is what I did.
(I have past experience with a 6100-series Nokia car kit, and have decided that the speaker/microphone setup is not good for quality calls. Headset is much better.)
From my previous Nokia install I already had:
- SAAB phone mount. Provides a mounting position on the centre console for the phone. Clean and neat. You can see it in the SAAB catalog at: http://www.saabcatalog.com/ About $45CDN.
- the SAAB wiring pigtail, which plugs into a connector in the centre console to provide power for the phone (plus other features). $15CDN.
I bought a power adapter for the phone (Motorola accessory), and hardwired it to the SAAB pigtail. I positioned the live end to dangle near the phone mount.
I bought a belt clip for the phone (Motorola accessory) and removed the clip mechanism (via dremel tool). I fastened the clip to the SAAB mount on the console. I reused an articulating mount from the Nokia kit to get a suitable angle for positioning the phone.)
My phone now can be clipped into the holder, and if I need to juice it up. I plug in the power cord. (Ususally just on my morning commute.)
It's not perfect, but I am very happy with how it turned out, and would do it again.
I use my headset in the car, which is much better than any speaker/mic setup I have seen.
