So you've just bagged yourself a Nokia N97, the hottest do-it-all smartphone in Nokia's range. This is a touchscreen superstar with a diverse range of talents out of the box: photography, web browsing, social networking, GPS, music, gaming... but how do you get the most out of its skills? You toss a few choice accessories into the mix, that's how. Read on for our pick of the finest Nokia N97 add-ons on the market.
The Nokia N97 is selling fast than expected but if you're still mulling over whether or not to splash out on an N97, check out our review for the full lowdown.
SanDisk Micro SDHC 8GB card
£10.99
Where: Amazon
The N97 comes with a huge 32GB of internal memory, but if you're the sort who loves to pack their handset with movies and music that could get filled up sooner than you think. Thankfully, it's not expensive to add an extra 8GB of storage via a microSDHC card like this one from respected, reliable memory-makers SanDisk.
Nokia DT-29 desk stand
£9.95
Where: MobileFun
Want to watch a full-length movie on your N97 but don't fancy the arm ache you'll get from holding it aloft for two hours? Then you need one of these stands, which sits on your desk or table and keeps the phone angled perfectly for extended viewing. And as a bonus, it doubles up as a fake comedy moustache for fancy dress parties! (Not really.)
Sennheiser CX 500 headphones
£16.99
Where: Ebuyer
Music fans will be well aware that the headphones bundled with mobile phones aren't much cop, so if you're planning on using the N97 as a music player it's well worth investing in a high quality set of earbuds. Thanks to its 3.5mm headphone socket, the N97 can accommodate almost any headphones out there, but these dinky in-ears from Sennheiser deliver great performance for a low price.
Nokia CK-300 car kit
£78.89
Where: MobileFun
This bit of in-car wizardry allows you to take calls without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road, as well as make calls by voice dialing. It connects to the N97 via Bluetooth, and then to your car stereo - which adds the bonus of also letting you play your phone's entire music library through your in-car speaker system.
powermonkey-eXplorer solar charger
£64.99
Where: Powertraveller
Stuck out and about with nowhere to top up your N97's battery? Well, instead of hunting for a power outlet you can turn to this solar charger, which harnesses the sun's rays and stores the power for when it's needed - in other words, you can even recharge the N97's battery at night - you don't have to wait for a sunny day. Its charging talents don't end with your phone either: it also comes with USB and iPod connectors.
