Nokia DC-4 Car Charger<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

XMI X-mini II Mini Speaker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nokia 5230 is the perfect choice to replace your MP3 player with, so if you carry all your tunes around with you, you’ll want a way to listen to them. Headphones and the built in loud speaker are ok, but if you really want to enjoy your tunes you’ll need an external speaker. The X-Mini II speaker plugs into the headphone socket on your 5230 and considering it’s size is a powerful speaker. It will easily fill the room with your music and is portable enough to carry with you where ever you go. It has an internal rechargeable battery that charges from your PC or laptop.<\/p>\n

TrailBlazer Bluetooth Car Kit & FM Transmitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you use your phone in the car, either for calling, listening to music or sat nav, there will have been times where you just can’t hear it. The TrailBlazer solves this problem by connecting to your Nokia 5230 using Bluetooth and then streaming all audio from your phone to your car stereo over FM. All you need to do is tune your stereo into the same frequency as the TrailBlazer and you’ll be able to enjoy driving directions, phone calls and all your music in glorious stereo through your car stereo speakers. The best bit is it’s really easy to use – there’s no wires involved and no complicated set up.<\/p>\n

Nokia WH-500 Headset<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you enjoy listening to your music through headphones, one of the first purchases you’ll want to make will be for a new set. The ones in the box are ok, but as with music device, headphones in the box aren’t normally that great. The Wh-500 from Nokia is a comfortable, high quality upgrade to the standard earphones. They’re the over the head design, so are less likely to fall out of your ears and are padded for extra comfort. They have an in-line remote control that you can use to control music playback. You can also use them for calling as they have a built in Microphone.<\/p>\n

Nokia BH-505 Stereo Bluetooth Headset<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want better audio, but don’t want wires, then you need to get yourself a Stereo Bluetooth Headset. They work in pretty much the same way as a standard Bluetooth Headset, but as they have two earpieces, you can listen to your music and calls in stereo. As there is no physical connection between the BH-505 and the Nokia 5230, they’re a great choice for when you’re at the gym, cycling, running etc, as you’re not going to get tangled in a mass of wires. There are music controls on the headset, so you can play, pause, skip tracks and answer calls, all without having to touch your phone.<\/p>\n

Nokia MU-44 – 16GB MicroSDHC<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Touch screen phones such as the Nokia 5230 are all about digital media – whether that’s photo’s, music or video. To use your Nokia 5230 as a multimedia device, you’ll need to increase the amount of information it can hold. The internal memory on the Nokia 5230 is just 70MB – that’s about enough to hold 12 MP3 files. Getting a 16GB micro SD HC memory card for it will allow you to store over 6000 high quality photos, 3000 songs or 80 hours of video.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Silicone Case – Nokia 5230<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your phone will get knocked and dropped, no matter how careful you are with it. If you don’t want it to look battered after a week, then you’ll need to invest in a case to keep it looking like new. Silicone Cases are a perfect choice for touch screen phones. They leave the screen fully accessible while protecting the corners, back and sides of the phone. They have cut outs for your headphones, chargers and stylus and as they’re quite thin, they add very little bulk to your phone. As they don’t cover your screen, I’d recommend using them with a Martin Fields Screen Protector.<\/p>\n
