Universal or Specific? There are holders designed for particular brands or specific models. One of the most important variations is whether or not you have a PDA or cell phone. This-along with size--is the only distinction that truly matters when looking for a universal holder. Universal holders are affordable (as low as $10) and have a suction or adhesive mount for any vehicle. They are padded inside to safe a wide variety of devices.
Passive or Active- This was confusing to me. I hadn't heard these terms used to describe a cell phone holder or cradle. Furthermore, it was tough to find their meaning definitions weren't readily accessible on product sites. Ultimately, I found it refers to charge. In a nutshell, active will charge the phone while in the cradle, while passive won't. Although, you can plug a travel charger cable into your phone while it's on the passive holder. Fixed is installing the active cradle to connect to the vehicle's electrical system.
Installation- Installation is simple with windshield or dash suction mounts. Adhesive discs are also common and can be placed anywhere. Another solution is a mounting platform like Proclip. The clips to dashboard seams for permanent and secure attachment. A screwdriver is needed but not to screw it to the car-no damage is done. If you're going for the gold, and want the electrical connection, leave it to a professional.
Mount place and phone size- Mount on the vent, dashboard, windshield, console and cigarette lighter. It's easier to find cigarette lighter mounts for small phones, maintain the bigger models on the dash.
