Now that you’ve pre-ordered the N900 that just recently started shipping, it’s time to look for some accessories. The ultimate Nokia device deserves the ultimate accessories right? Here are my recommendations for the ultimate N900 accessories.
1.Case: Nokia Carrying Case CP-321
You’ll want to keep your N900 safe and the CP-321 is Nokia’s official case for the N900. This leather case (available in both Black and White) has a soft internal lining, but it lacks any kind of belt loop or clip. Very similar to the N97 case, it’s designed to protect the devices from scratches. In typical Nokia fashion, expect a higher price when compared to other manufacturers.
2.Music
2a.Ultimate Ears Custom UE 11 Pro
At $1150, the Custom UE 11 Pro is the ultimate when it comes to audio for the audiophile that wants to listen to uncompressed WAV file on their N900. With it’s quad driver, including two subwoofer drivers, the Custom UE 11 Pro will reveal every single detail in an audio recording. Included in the price is a custom shell created from your ear impression, metal carrying case and personally engraved metal case.
2b.Shure SE530 PTH
One of my personal favorites, the Shure SE530 PTH. At about half the price of the UE 11 Pro, it still manages to come very close in performance, making it a tremendous deal. The sound quality is amazing with it’s three drivers , making it worth every penny. The included PTH module allows you to make normal conversations without taking the sound-blocking In-ear-monitors of. The price? $549.
2c.Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-905
One of Nokia’s most expensive accessories ever goes all out with 8 noise cancelling microphones to ensure that that environmental noise is blocked for phone calls and music. The BH-905 performs exceptionally well, but what’s amazing is the fact that it can use the more traditional 3.5mm jack or wirelessly using Bluetooth. Included are adapters for:
- 2.5 mm Nokia AV connector
- Standard 3.5 mm jack
- Standard 6.3 mm jack
- Standard airplane jack
The prices varies, but expect a price north of $300 for the BH-905.
3.Power
Proporta USB TurboCharger 3400 World Pack
The USB TurboCharger 3400 World Pack is an external battery that allows you to recharge your N900 on the go. It holds about 3400 mAh of power and has some cool LED lights that show the charge level. It even comes with a retractable cable and a range of interchangeable connector heads that make it compatible with other devices. Included is the World AC Power and Car Power Supply, that allows you to recharge the device itself in your car or using a wall outlet.
4.Storage
SanDisk 16GB microSDHC
The N900’s 32GB internal storage is massive, but more is always better for such a high-end device.SanDisk’s 16GB microSDHC is fast enough to keep up with the N900 and bringing the total storage to 48GB!
5.Speakers
SoundCast OutCast
The SoundCast Outcast is rechargeable portable weather-proof speaker. Included is a wireless transmitter that can hook to the N900. The N900 and the transmitter can say indoors while the OutCast can be left outside near the pool. 4 Drivers and a huge 8” subwoofer take care of the sound which is nothing short of amazing and will easily beat just about any portable speaker on the market. The N900 can also connect directly to the speaker using the built-in 3.5mm jack. A nice detail is the glowing Blue ambient light. The Outcast costs $799.99.
6.Headset
6a.Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-904
Nokia’s best performing traditional headset: BH-904. While this headset is a bit larger than normal, it easily makes up for the this with its long 8hr operating time and quick recharge feature. 15minutes of charging is enough for 5hrs of operating time. It has Digital Signal Processing background noise cancellation with 2 microphones. $99.95
6a.Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-804
Prefer something a bit smaller from the Nokia camp? The BH-804 is much smaller than the BH-904 and we loved the light Aluminum build. With a smaller size, you will sacrifice the battery life, but in return you do get a very stylish headset. The BH-804 can be worn like a necklace and includes a handy desktop charger and charger adapter. It has digital signal processing (DSP) for background noise cancellation. $99.95
