You wait ages for Sony Ericsson to release a new phone then 2 come along at the same time!\u00a0Sony Ericsson<\/a> have just released their latest handset – the X10 and it’s their first phone to run Android OS. The Sony Ericsson X10<\/a> is another great looking, easy to use touch screen phone with some exceptional features such as a 4″ capacitive touchscreen and 8MP camera.<\/p>\n

To really get the most out of your Xperia X10, you’ll need to invest in a few accessories but with so many\u00a0X10 cases<\/a>,\u00a0Bluetooth Headphones<\/a> and Car Kits<\/a> available, choosing the right one can be a bit of a mission.<\/p>\n

To help you make the right decision, this post runs through 10 of the best Sony Ericsson X10 Accessories<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Sony Ericsson AN300 Car Charger<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The X10 is quite a power hungry beast and you’ll soon notice that as you start emailing, going online or watching videos your battery will start to drain quite quickly. For this reason a car charger is a worthwhile investment. Unlike most previous Sony Ericsson Handsets, the X10 doesn’t have a ‘Fast-port’ conenction, but instead uses the (now standard) micro USB charging connection. This genuine Sony Ericsson X10 charger will work in both 12v and 24v vehicles (Cars, Lorries and Trucks).<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>SanDisk MicroSDHC Card – 16GB<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the X10 being a great Multimedia handset, it only has a limited amount of internal storage. Some will come with a memory card to get you started, but in most cases these tend to be the smaller 2GB or 4GB cards. As a result, one of the first purchases you will need to make is a bigger memory card. This 16GB memory card can store upto 14000 high quality photos, 3000 songs and 18 hours of video. Using a SanDisk 16GB Memory Card with the X10 will allow you to store more music, games, photos and videos on your phone. Images and video taken using the HD Camera will take up lots more space, so more memory is a must. A 16GB memory card will let you store over 6000 high quality photos, 3000 songs or around 80 hours of standard definition video. A 16GB card is the largest memory card that is currently available, although a 32GB Micro SD HC memory card<\/a> is due for release in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Sony Ericsson MW600 Stereo Bluetooth Headset<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Sony Ericsson have always been one of the best brands for stereo Bluetooth headsets and the MW600 doesn\u2019t disappoint. Not only does this compact headset allow you to stream music from your phone, it has full music controls and is the first stereo Bluetooth Headset to feature a built in FM Radio.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve tried to listening to the radio on your phone using a Bluetooth connection in the past, you\u2019ll know it\u2019s nearly impossible as the headphones act as the radio\u2019s antenna. The MW600 solves this by having an FM receiver built into the control unit. Considering the price of previous Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headphones I was amazed to see that this is on sale for less than \u00a340. For more details on the MW600, take a look at our Sony Ericsson MW600 Hands On Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want Bluetooth headphones that are completely wireless, then I’d recommend the Jabra Halo. You can find out more about it in my Jabra Halo Hands on Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>Martin Fields Screen Protector – Sony Ericsson X10<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The last thing you\u2019re going to want to do to the gorgeous 4″ screen of your new X10 is scratch it. Martin Fields screen protectors are without doubt the best quality screen protector you can get. They\u2019re crystal clear and will make your phone look like new. They don\u2019t reduce the clarity of your screen and colours look exactly the way they\u2019re supposed to. If your screen protector gets dirty, they can be removed easily from the phone, cleaned and refitted. For more information on choosing a screen protector for your phone, take a look at our guide to choosing the best Screen Protector<\/a> for your phone.<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth Speakerphone<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to listen to music from your X10 in your car but don’t have a 3.5mm line in port on your stereo, don’t panic there is another way to do it – and what’s more, you won’t need to have wires trailing everywhere to do it!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Jabra Cruiser is a small, slim portable car kit that combines an FM transmitter with a Bluetooth Car Kit. The Jabra Cruiser simply clips to the sun visor of your car and pairs to your Samsung Jet Ultra using Bluetooth. The Cruiser supports both the\u00a0A2DP and AVRCP profiles\u00a0which means that you can\u00a0stream your music to it over Bluetooth and control your music using the controls on the Cruiser instead of your phone. The Jabra Cruiser lets you choose whether to play your music back through the built in speaker or through your car stereo\u00a0using it\u2019s built in FM Transmitter. It ‘s currently the only car kit to have dual microphones for improved noise reduction. If you spend a lot of time in the car taking calls and are bored of listening to the radio then the Jabra Cruiser is a must have item.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want all the bells of the cruiser, but still want to play your music through your stereo then take a look at the Jabra SP700<\/a>. It does almost the same job, but doesn’t feature the music controls or dual microphone.<\/p>\n

6. <\/strong>Sony Ericsson X10 card reader and Viewing Stand<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a bit quirky this one, which is probably why it’s made it into my top ten. At first glance, the IM920 looks like any other card reader, but this one has an interesting twist. The USB connector retracts inside the housing, and the opposite side folds out to reveal a hook for your phone. This allows you to use it as a stand to prop your phone up at just the right angle for viewing films and videos.<\/p>\n

7. <\/strong>Sony Ericsson X10 Car Holder by Brodit<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Brodit Holders are phone specific cradles that will hold your X10 securely in the car and don’t restrict access to your phone while it\u2019s in the holder. They are made from a strong ABS plastic and are designed to be screwed onto your dashboard, although if you don\u2019t fancy doing this you can use a\u00a0Brodit ProClip<\/a>. These are secure mounting pads that clip on to your dashboard and can be removed without causing any damage to your vehicle. ProClips provide an ideal base for fixing a Brodit holder on to.<\/p>\n

If you want a more flexible holder that will work with several different handsets then you should consider the Dash Genie. It works with pretty much any phone and on any dashboard. \u00a0Mobile Fun’s very own Stig took it for a test drive and you can see the result on the Mobile Fun YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. <\/strong>InvisibleSHIELD Full Body Protector – Sony Ericsson X10<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

InvisibleShields are still one of the best ways to protect your phone. They\u2019re made from a tough, thin plastic film that covers pretty much all of your phone. The film has been vigorously tested and can withstand scratches from hand drills, screws, nails and being kicked across the floor (although we wouldn\u2019t suggest trying it for yourself). They can be removed from the phone in no time at all and it won\u2019t leave any sticky residue behind either. They add little\/no bulk to your X10 and can be used in conjunction with other cases and covers.<\/p>\n

9. <\/strong>Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset – Black<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Jawbone changed the way that noise cancellation in bluetooth headsets worked. Jawbone\u2019s work slightly different to other noise cancelling headsets, as they use a \u2018voice activity sensor\u2019 to help make your voice stand out. This sensor needs to maintain contact with the side of your face as it picks up vibrations as you speak. It then uses this information with the sounds picked up from the two microphones to eliminate almost all background noise.<\/p>\n

10. <\/strong>Noreve Traditional A Leather – Sony Ericsson X10<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The X10 is a stylish looking phone that deserves a smart, stylish case. What I love about them is the way that they hold your X10 securely, but without having to slide the phone into a stitched pocket that interferes with the light sensors or blocks the edges of the screen. It uses a tension system to hold your phone securely in place leaving the screen and keypad fully accessible. The Noreve case looks excellent, is made from high quality leather and is surprisingly slim once it\u2019s on your phone.<\/p>\n
