Nokia Cell Phone Accessories

By Alice Sy

After buying a Nokia cell phone, whether it is your first cell phone, your first Nokia or your tenth Nokia, there are going to be accessories to consider. Some accessories make having and using your cell phone easier and more convenient while others are more decorative in nature and just fun to have. There is a wide range of choices for all types of Nokia cell phone accessories. Some are specific to a particular model or range of models while others can be used with almost any model.

Chargers are a necessity and you no doubt have one but you may want to consider getting another to have at work. Another charger to consider is one that works in your car so you can charge on the go and never have to worry about your phone going dead in the middle of a call again.

To keep your Nokia cell phone within reach if a call comes in while you are in your car, a holder for your cell phone is ideal. The holder and a headset are Nokia cell phone accessories that go together to make use of your Nokia more convenient. Taking your Nokia on a trip will be much easier with a travel charger, which is available in types for use in the UK as well as the US.

If you use your Nokia while driving, you need to be safe and accessories that allow you to use it hands free. In many places, this is required by law. For Nokias that have the capability, Bluetooth is an excellent accessory to use for hands free cell phone use. For other models that are Bluetooth capable or if you just prefer them, there are hands free headsets. These are usually model specific, so you need to be sure of getting the right one.

Though you can just carry your Nokia in your pocket or purse, there are Nokia cell phone accessories that can help protect your investment in your cell phone. Cases and holsters help to avoid dings and scratches that not only mar the look of your Nokia but can affect its performance, too. Some cases and most holsters are designed to attach to your belt or pocket to keep your cell phone handy for ease of use. Many cases look like they are the shell of the phone, so you can use them to not only protect your Nokia but make it fit your personality, too.

A couple of other Nokia cell phone accessories that combine utility with decorativeness are antennas and face plates. The different styles and colors available for face plates let you make your Nokia uniquely yours and protect your cell phone's original face at the same time. With antennas, you can go with glitz and flash or a more utilitarian look. Many of the fancier antennas even light up and flash when your cell phone is being used. You can even have an antenna that flashes your first or last initial when you use your phone.

Other Nokia cell phone accessories include keypads, data cables and memory cards. The keypads available come on flashing keypads, laser keypads and crystal keypads. They are not only functional but decorative and add spice to your phone. Data cables are a must for phones that have MP3 capabilities and/or are camera phones. The data cable lets you download pictures to you computer and upload music, screen savers, wallpaper and ringtones to your phone. The memory cards are also a must for the same types of phones so you can store more music and pictures before having to download it to your computer.

There are lots of choices when it comes to Nokia cell phone accessories. It is up to you to decide which ones you need and/or want. Be practical, be flamboyant or both.
