The Part of Tens - Great BlackBerry Accessories
|
Unify AV Solution Unify AV Solution is an innovative product of Unify4Life that makes smartphones (including your BlackBerry) a universal remote control. You can find a suite of features on the Unify4Life Web site, but a sample includes complete TV listings in your BlackBerry for informative channel switching. You can purchase it directly from http://unify4life.com/products.html. microSD Card Your new BlackBerry normally comes with external memory: a microSD card. But if you're not satisfied with its capacity, go hunt for a much bigger one. After all, you want to carry with you a boatload of music and video files, right? Many electronic gadgets use microSD cards, so they're easy to find.
A normal price range at the time of this writing is $45 for 16GB capacity and $85 for 32GB capacity. Special promotions come and go, but you can always find a good deal somewhere on the Internet. And for any Internet purchase, take into consideration the shipping and handling costs plus the vendor's return policy (or lack thereof).
Full Keyboards
As netbooks becomes more popular, people forget that the BlackBerry that they already carry is a "mini netbook." Internet? Check! E-mail? Check! Word docs and Excel? Check! Sure, the screen is a bit smaller and the keyboard is small, but with a little help from a Bluetooth keyboard, your BlackBerry will save you the cost of a netbook and still do the things a netbook can do.
Stereo Headsets
Although your new BlackBerry is a stereo music player, it doesn't come with stereo headphones. You will definitely yearn for stereo sound the moment you listen to music or watch video clips. A quick search on the Internet for BlackBerry + stereo headphones yields many results. But you want to be able to talk, too.
You could spend $30 to $200. Several good headsets follow: Case and Belt Clip
You have plenty of cases to choose from, with looks ranging from sporty to professional. These cases can set you back anywhere from $20 to $40, which isn't too bad for looking hip. Here's where you can buy a new case or belt clip: Screen Protector and Skins If the protector case described in the preceding section is a bit stressful for your wallet, try the Blackberry Pro high-definition screen protector with mirror effect. That's a mouthful, but for about $10, it protects your screen from scratches. Go to AccessoryGeeks. Other popular bestsellers are skin cases. They come in many colors and keep your BlackBerry looking new. The price is usually between $9 and $12. Go to CrackBerry or AccessoryGeeks. Extra Battery, Charger, and Charging Pod
An extra battery for your BlackBerry will come in handy if you're a daily user. You'll spend around $50 for the extra battery.
External Speaker
BlackBerry comes with a speaker, but if the sound quality just isn't good enough for your listening taste, an external Bluetooth speaker can bring your outdoor listening to the next level. We recommend the following: Bluetooth Music Gateway If you already have a great set of speakers or an audio entertainment system, using a RIM Bluetooth Music Gateway is the perfect way to stream music to your existing system. Simply pair your BlackBerry to the Bluetooth Music Gateway via Bluetooth (hence the name), and you are ready to go. What is even better is that this hockey puck@@ndlike Music Gateway can be paired with your PC or Mac, so you get more use out of it. Find it at http://shop.crackberry.com. If it's okay that I combined the two sections on the keyboard, then add this section? (That's what you did in the Curve book.) Car Mount
To complete your BlackBerry car experience, mount your BlackBerry in your car. The market offers many products, ranging from $15 to $30. You can search the Web. You can also get a car mount from these BlackBerry sites:
