The BlackBerry Curve 8520 was one of the most popular BlackBerry devices to hit the market, thanks mainly to it’s low price point. It worked well and as with every BlackBerry before it, was excellent for email and messaging. What did let it down slightly was the lack of 3G support – this meant updating Facebook and browsing the internet was painfully slow and not really what you’d expect from a modern smartphone.
Fortunately though, BlackBerry have put this right with the introduction of the BlackBerry Curve 3G. It’s essentially the same phone as the BlackBerry 8520, but with a much faster 3G internet connection and support for 802.11n wireless networks.
This is great news for anyone looking for accessories for the BlackBerry Curve 3G, as anything that fits the 8520 will work with the Curve 3G. If you’re not sure what to get, here are a few suggestions from our top selling BlackBerry Curve 3G Accessories.
FlexiShield Skin For The BlackBerry Curve 3G
If you want to keep your phone safe, one of the best ways to do it without adding much extra bulk is with a BlackBerry Curve 3G Cover like the Flexishield case. Flexishield skins are thin, flexible gel cases that cover the back, side and corners of your phone and protect it against scratches and scrapes. They leave all the vital parts of your Curve 3G (such as the camera, headphone port, charging port) fully accessible and can be removed quickly and easily if needed. They don’t cover the screen though, so you’ll need to invest in a BlackBerry Curve 3G Screen Protector.
BlackBerry Curve Series Leather Pocket
The Curve Series Leather Pocket is a stylish case from BlackBerry. It’s made from high quality leather and has a built in proximity sensor that puts your Curve 3G to sleep while it’s in the case and built in protection for the screen of your Curve 3G. Removing your phone is easy as it has a thumb groove that makes it easier to grip your phone and pull it out of the case.
BlackBerry Curve Dual Desktop Charging Cradle
If you spend a lot of time at your desk and need to keep an eye on the screen of your BlackBerry Curve 3G, this could be just what you need. It’s a desk-stand that can charge and sync your phone. What’s more, it can also charge a spare battery at the same time. USB ports on the back allow you to connect it to your PC or Laptop to sync your contacts, photos and other media. The charging cable works with your existing BlackBerry Curve 3G Charger. Not got a spare Curve 3G battery? Opt for the BlackBerry Curve Desktop Cradle instead.
Brodit Passive Holder With Tilt Swivel – BlackBerry Curve 3G
There are numerous ways to mount your BlackBerry in the car, but the safest and easiest way to use your Curve 3G in the car is to have it mounted in a fixed holder. Brodit Car Holders are moulded specifically for your phone from a tough ABS plastic. They are designed to be screwed to your dashboard or a Brodit ProClip – a damage free bracket that clips onto your dashboard without marking it. If you prefer you can also screw them directly into your dashboard or attached it to a windscreen suction mount. Brodit Car Holders leave all ports and keys accessible on your phone.
Martin Fields Screen Protector – BlackBerry Curve
The last thing you’re going to want to do the the screen of your new Curve 3G is scratch it. Martin Fields screen protectors are probably the best quality screen protectors 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. Unlike some of the cheaper screen protectors that you can get, Martin Fields don’t distort any colours or compromise the display in any way.
