Top 10 Accessories for the Nokia 6600i Slide

The Nokia 6600i Slide is a great little phone that is perfect for those that want a simple, compact, no frills handset. To keep your handset looking its best and to really make the most of all of its features there are a number of accessories you can treat yourself to, but with such a wide range of accessories such as Cases, Chargers and Car Kits available, choosing the right ones for you can be a bit of a minefield.

To help you decide on the accessories that you need, we’ve compiled a list of our top 10 Nokia 6600i Slide Accessories.

1. PDair Case for Nokia 6600i Slide

PDair cases are a range of elegant, hand stitched leather cases designed to protect and enhance your Nokia 6600i Slide. Each case is hand made from premium leather cuts and is individually designed to give a perfect fit to your phone. PDair cases are available in a range of styles to suit all tastes, but this is by far the most popular for the 6600i as the sliding mechanism makes it very difficult for other styles of case to fit the phone well. Due to high demand for PDair cases availability is often limited, so if we’re showing as having these in stock you’ll need to order one quickly as they can sometimes take weeks to come back into stock!

2. Martin Fields Screen Protector

The last thing you’re going to want to do the the screen of your new phone is scratch it. Martin Fields are the best quality screen protector you can get for your phone. They’re precision cut to size and can be removed easily and leave no residue behind. They’re re-usable too, so if it ever gets dirty, just take it off, run it under the tap and re-fit it. The twin pack is the better buy as it’s just £2 more than buying one.

3. Non Slip 6600i Slide Desk Stand

This holder is designed in a way that even when your phone is vibrating frantically it will still stay in place thanks to it’s non-slip finish. It’s coated in a rubbery material which really holds your phone in place and makes it very hard to push the phone up or down. It will work with any phone, so when you replace your 6600i Slide, you won’t need to replace your desk stand. As a bonus, the Desk Stand has a memory card reader built into it’s base to make transferring music and photo’s easy. A USB charging cable for your phone is also included.

4. Nokia DC-4 Car Charger

Keeping your phone charged on the move is easy with the Nokia DC-4 Car Charger. It features a tangle-proof cable, LED indicator and will stop charging your phone once the battery is full. The DC-4 Car Charger will work in Cars, Vans and Trucks (12v & 24v).

5. Nokia CR-39 Car Holder

If you use your 6600i in the car either as a music player, Sat Nav or just for calls, then the safest and easiest way to mount it is with the Nokia Cr-39. It’s a universal holder that keeps all the charging ports clear on your phone and can be screwed to your dash or used with the HH-12 Suction mount to stick it to your windscreen. If you don’t want to screw into your dashboard, you can use a Brodit Proclip. These are damage free brackets that clip onto your dashboard and provide a solid base for fixing holders on to.

6. Jabra BT-530 Bluetooth Headset

The BT-530 is a fantastic Bluetooth Headset from Jabra that packs in a lot of features. As well as having 2 noise cancelling microphones, the Jabra BT530 has intelligent volume controls that will automatically increase the volume when you enter a noisy environment and support for multipoint – this allows you to use the headset with two mobile phones at the same time (Read my post on ‘What is Multipoint‘).

7. Jabra Halo Stereo Bluetooth Headset

The Jabra Halo Stereo Bluetooth Headset is the latest stereo headset to be released, and to be honest its probably the best one yet. It has incredibly simple controls – a touch sensitive slider on the right ear lets you adjust the volume by sliding your finger up or down, where as a double tap will skip the track. One multi use button lets you play/pause your music as well as answer/end calls and activate voice dialling. When they’re not in use, the headphones fold away so as not to take up too much space and to reduce the chance of them getting damaged. If you want to know more take a look at my Jabra Halo hands on review.

8. 8GB Micro SDHC Memory Card

Using an 8GB Memory Card will allow you to store even more music, games, photos and videos on your Nokia 6600i. Images taken using the 3MP Camera will take up more space, so more memory is a must. A 8GB memory card will let you store over 4500 high quality photos, 1500 songs or 40 hours of video. An 8GB card is the largest memory card that the Nokia 6303 will officially support.

9. Nokia LD-4W Bluetooth GPS Receiver

One of the more advanced features on the Nokia 6303 is that it can be used as a Sat Nav device and comes with Nokia Maps pre-installed – all you need to make the most of it is a Bluetooth GPS receiver so that your phone knows where you are. The LD-4W is designed to work perfectly with the Nokia 6303. It has a long life battery and uses the same charger as your phone. Nokia Maps is free to use for route planning and basic navigation, but for full turn by turn voice navigation you’ll need to purchase a UK Drive and Walk License. The license is available from us for around £40, purchasing the same license through your phone will set you back over £60.

10. Nokia HF-310 Bluetooth Car Kit

Nokia have always produced fantastic fitted car kits but their plug & play car kits have been good, but not really anything to shout about. The Nokia HF-310 changes all that.  It’s a lightweight, compact Bluetooth Car Kit that can be used in the car, at home or in the office. It’s incredibly easy to use, with just one button to answer and end calls, activate voice dialling or redial the last number you called. Even adjusting the volume is simple – it’s just a case of rotating the outer dial. For more info on the HF-310 take a look at our Nokia HF-310 review.
