Default Where do you put your phone?

Where do you guys put your phone when you're in the car?

I keep mine in my pocket but there are times, when the coverage is spotty, I need to pull it out and hold it near a window to get a good signal (I hold it in my left hand). Up near the windows is always going to give you a better signal than buried in your pocket.

Has anyone come up with a different place for their phone? I'm thinking about snapping it to the visor or something.

Mine is always in my pocket. Verizon's coverage in this area is good enough that I've never had a problem keeping the phone there.

On my beltclip/holster. When it's not in there, it goes in the center console.

Do you have a bluetooth phone to go with your NAV? I put my phone in the console arm rest.

either the cup holder behind the shifter or in the ash tray on top of my change. the ash tray is kinda tight tho and the phone is sorta wedged in there. if i didn't have the key lock on, the buttons would get pressed.
