Top 4 Essential BlackBerry 9900 Accessories

Friday, September 30th, 2011

You know the drill by now – the sim free BlackBerry 9900 is an excellent phone, and the best BlackBerry yet. If you’re a BlackBerry fanatic or new to the RIM line, with a touch screen, excellent QWERTY keyboard and newly updated BlackBerry OS 7, there’s lots to like. Let’s have a look at the latest and greatest essential BlackBerry 9900 accessories.

4. InvisibleSHIELD Full Body Protector

I normally advise buying a BlackBerry 9900 screen protector, but the InvisibleSHIELD is like a whole phone’s worth of BlackBerry 9900 screen protectors, with every area covered. This grants limited scratch protection across your phone, and really comes in handy later on when you’d like to add BlackBerry 9900 desk stands or BlackBerry 9900 car holders; you can still use whichever accessories you’d like.

3. Charging Pod

Billed as the most convenient way of charging your BlackBerry 9900, this BlackBerry 9900 dock keeps your phone in an upright, portrait position whilst charging and syncing it. As well as acting as a BlackBerry 9900 charger and BlackBerry 9900 desk stand, the charging pod also looks great, giving you the perfect platform to show off your flagship phone.

2. Exogear Exomount Universal Case Compatible Mount

The Exogear is a brilliant universal BlackBerry 9900 car holder that can fit even the largest phones, with or without cases. The car holder gives you the choice of portrait or landscape orientations, or even something in the middle. It’s a clever contrapation, and one that’ll hold other phones just as easily as the 9900.

1. Otterbox Defender

Why am I suggesting a heavy duty case when I’ve already suggested the thin InvisibleSHIELD? Well, there are times when you’re going to want extra protection for your phone — if you’re running, going rock climbing, or otherwise being out and about, sometimes a super protective BlackBerry 9900 case is the way to go. Thanks to the impossibly thin full body protector, you can just add to the protection without having to remove the InvisibleSHIELD.

Otterbox for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Defender Series

The Otterbox Defender is one of the most protective BlackBerry 9900 cases available, protecting your phone from scratches, impacts and even dust. And that’s definitely worth our top spot today.

Conclusion

That’s all for now. If you found this helpful or had a question about the unlocked BlackBerry 9900 or mobile phone accessories, please let us know via the normal social media channels, or leave a comment below. Thanks!

5 Latest HTC Sensation Cases

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Introduction

We get in more HTC Sensation accessories every week, including some very cool HTC Sensation cases and HTC Sensation covers. Let’s have a look at these cool new cases now, including five of the very latest and greatest.

5. Capdase Smart Pocket

This HTC Sensation leather case is a great way to start our top 5. The HTC Sensation cover is hand-made from the highest quality leather, offering a stylish protective cover for your Sensation. Inside, you’ll find a soft microfibre lining, ensuring that your phone’s screen stays protected even without a HTC Sensation screen protector. The HTC Sensation pouch also includes a unique cut-out for the screen that lets you read incoming notifications.

4. Alu Leather Slip Pouch

This is another of the nicest HTC Sensation pouches, offering real leather construction with complementary red cross stitching. The pouch also includes a handy pull tab that lets you pull out the phone. Probably the case’s strongest feature is its tough aluminium inner lining, which protects against crushing damage.

This HTC Sensation pouch also works well with HTC Sensation car holders and HTC Sensation desk stands. Why? Well, if you want to use your phone, you have to slip it out of the pouch. If you want to use it on a car holder, you slip it out of the pouch. If you want to use it on your HTC Sensation desk stand, you slip it out. It’s the same motion each time; compare this to a normal case which stays on at all times, then doesn’t fit when you slip it into your HTC Sensation car holder. I know it’s a bit odd, but it does make sense.

3. Capdase Capparel Case

This HTC Sensation case looks great, sporting a convenient flip form factor and a soft, elegant construction material. Unlike most Sensation pouches, the Capparel has cutouts wherever necessary to ensure you can plug in your HTC Sensation charger or other cables. As with other flip and pouch form factors, HTC Sensation screen protectors are not as essential as with HTC Sensation skins.

2. Tuff-Luv Leather Style in-Genius Flip Case

The Tuff-Luv is an upgraded, leather-style flip case offering a few more features than the Capparel. The case serves as a small wallet, allowing you to keep your bank cards and cash in the same place as your phone. The card pocket even includes its own pull tab, letting you easily remove it whenever necessary.

1. Capdase Alumor Metal Case

This metallic HTC Sensation skin offers ultimate protection, with a two-stage construction that offers a shock-absorbant silicone lining as well as a strong metal outer shell. Unlike most other protective cases though, the Alumor doesn’t protect the front of your phone, allowing it to be much smaller and thinner than it would be otherwise. All in all, it’s a clever design and takes home the top spot today.

Xperia Play Price Drop – Now Just £189.95

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Here’s your chance to snag the famous PlayStation Phone for its lowest price yet – just £189.95.

The Xperia Play unlocked is the ultimate gaming phone, with integrated Playstation controls including a D-pad, the four action buttons, shoulder buttons, and two virtual analog sticks cleverly implemented as touch-sensitive panels. The phone is made by Sony of course, and is the only PlayStation certified mobile phone, and is capable of running games of all sorts.

The sim free Xperia Play runs the latest version of Android, Gingerbread, and comes with a powerful 1 GHz processor, equivalent to that used in the iPhone 4. The Xperia Play’s 4″ display is above the Android standard, coming in at 854 x 480 pixels for a great widescreen gaming experience.

The unlocked Xperia Play is the perfect phone for playing emulated games on the go (but only ones that you own – we don’t condone piracy, of course) – the Android store comes with emulators for the NES, SNES, Gameboy, Genesis and more. Instead of wobbling around with ill-fiiting touch-sensitive controls, play these games the way they were meant to be played – with real physical buttons.

If you’re looking for that perfect gaming phone, then this it it – the Xperia Play sim free, available now for only £189.95 from Mobile Fun. If you do decide to pick one up, of course we’ve got all of the Xperia Play accessories you need too, including the best Xperia Play cases available.

Sim Free HTC Explorer Priced and Dated!

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

The HTC Explorer is the latest phone to be announced by popular handset manufacturers HTC. The sim free HTC Explorer sits on the budget end of the price spectrum, below the top-of-the-line Sensation and middle-range Wildfire S. The unlocked HTC Explorer is priced competitively, as you’d expect, coming in at just £179.95 at Mobile Fun. The phone will be released on October 28th.

So what do you get for just under £180? Well, you get a handset that can run the latest version of Android, version 2.3.5, at full force, including HTC Sense 3.5. The Explorer, as its name suggests, is an excellent introduction to new discoverers of Android, who want to try the system out without committing to the purchase of the latest flagship phone.

Internally, the phone features a 600 MHz processor and up to 32 GB of internal memory. All of the latest connection standards are supported, including Bluetooth 3.0, microUSB for charging and synching, Wi-Fi and assisted GPS. The front of the phone is dominated by the 320×240 3.2″ touch screen and the four capacitive buttons below it.

While the phone has only just been announced, we’ve already begun ordering HTC Explorer accessories.

This is certainly a great phone for newcomers to Android, or as a handy and inexpensive backup phone for more fanatical users. While its technical specifications aren’t the best, it can still run the best apps Android has to offer and has HTC’s legendary excellent build quality, making it a sound investment.

Conclusion

So what do you think of the HTC Explorer sim free? Let us know via the social media links below! If you’d like to ask us any questions about the HTC Explorer unlocked, then feel free to do so over the same channels. Thanks for reading!

Official Samsung Galaxy S2 Extended Battery Now Available!

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

I love my Galaxy S2 — it’s blindingly fast, has a bright and beautiful screen and all of the latest technology. All of this whizz-bang stuff comes at a price though – generally I’m lucky to get home and still have enough battery life to check tomorrow’s weather forecast.

I’d thought about buying an extended Samsung Galaxy S2 battery, but generally these Samsung Galaxy S2 batteries come from third parties. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but with such an integral component it’s good to know that the battery will a) fit properly and b) be 100% compatible.

Luckily, Samsung have released their official extended battery for Samsung Galaxy S2. The battery packs an extra 350 mAh of charge, giving you up to 11.8 hours of talk time. The original battery is highly optimised already , so to increase the capacity the new battery has been slightly enlarged. This necessitates a new back Samsung Galaxy S2 cover, which provides more protection than the stock cover against scratches and scrapes.

Genuine Samsung Extended Battery Kit for Galaxy S2 - 2000mAh - EB-K1A2EBEGSTD

It’s a pretty winning combination – more power, more protection, and a genuine Samsung product that is precisely made to fit the Samsung Galaxy S2. This official EB-K1A2EBEGSTD battery kit is definitely the best way to keep your Galaxy S2 going, so if you’re looking for a little extra juice then pick one up!
