RIM’s latest flagship BlackBerry phone, the Sim Free BlackBerry 9900, has proved popular since its release in the US earlier this month with suits and teens alike.

Even Apprentice boss Sugar commented on Twitter that he was impressed with the phone’s keyboard and touch screen after trying out an advance version:
“Been trying new BlackBerry Bold 9900 combination large keyboard and great touch screen. Must have new processors as very fast browsing. V. Good.”
Later, he marveled over the 9900’s camera, remarking:
“Great camera on this new BB Bold 9900 also processes them very fast when posted on twitter.”
Sugar’s not one for false praise, and the 9900 does look good. It sports a quick 1.2GHz processor, a high-quality touch screen and the latest BlackBerry OS7. The BlackBerry staples — excellent QWERTY keyboard and high security — are also present, definitely making this the best BlackBerry ever produced (and TechRadar agree).
To get ready for the phone’s release, we’re going to have a look at some of the essential BlackBerry 9900 accessories. Let’s get started!
BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 Cases
First things first – to keep your phone safe, you’ll need a BlackBerry 9900 case. You probably don’t want to compromise the slimmest BlackBerry yet, so let’s go for something quite minimal, yet still protective. My personal favourite is the Otterbox Commuter, so let’s go with that.

As you can see from the picture, the Otterbox doesn’t add much to the BlackBerry’s slim frame. It provides protection against drops, scratches and impacts through its silicone frame, and also includes silicone plugs to provide complete environmental protection for the USB and audio jack.
Other great BlackBerry 9900 cases (I could do a whole article on these) include Case-Mate’s Barely There (an even thinner approach to the 9900) and BlackBerry’s own Leather Swivel Holster (a genuine leather case to be worn on the belt).
It’s also important to get a good BlackBerry 9900 screen protector; the popular MFX series offers excellent screen protection.

It’s not just about cases and screen protectors though, let’s have a look at some other essentials for the busy businessman or studious student.
BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 Car Holder
As no custom-made BlackBerry 9900 car holders have been released yet, I’ll recommend an excellent stand-in: The Universal Windscreen Mount Phone Holder. This adjustable mobile phone holder will fit the BlackBerry Bold snugly, and will also fit a large amount of other phones too.

BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 Bluetooth Headsets
The most popular mid-range BlackBerry 9900 Bluetooth headset is the Plantronics Explorer 240. It features a sleek design, very much in keeping with the BlackBerry 9900’s aesthetic, and dedicacted buttons from volume, power on/off and call answer/end. A good Bluetooth headset can really be convenient for using your BlackBerry on the go, and the Plantronics Explorer 240 is one of the best.

Are you excited for the release of the 9900? I’ve never really considered a BlackBerry before, but the 9900 looks so good I might have to!
