Love the curve - exactly what I need. Would be nice to have Wifi, but I can cope for now.

Ok, what accessories should I get? I would assume a protective case and a plastic film cover for the screen. Do most people get a holster or just keep it in your pocket?

Can't stand bluetooth microphones, so I don't need that. Anything else I'm missing?

Thanks.

memory stick


I got a 2GB microSD card for 13 bucks from Buy.com. They had a memory stick for 22.95 and then after using Google Checkout it came to 12.95 with free shipping :D

Extra battery (May as well get the Siedio extended battery: 15% more juice) and use the stock one for backup.
1300MAH OEM-SIZED EXTENDED BATTERY FOR BLACKBERRY 8300 - BASI13BBX3S

Screen Protector (I like to keep in my pocket....the curve is small enough)
Best Skins Ever BlackBerrys (they have a screen version, and a total body version)
ScreenPatronus, Screen protector - the difference is amazing.

4gb Micro SD card:
Amazon.com: SanDisk 4GB MicroSD / Transflash with SD Adapter (BULK Packaging): Electronics

Other than that just a few apps:
beejive :: JiveTalk mobile messaging
Yahoo! Go. The Internet to go.

^^ditto all that^^

I use ScreenPatronis (ebay and google it) for a screen guard, and the OEM holster. I have seen others I like on Seido and Forte.
I've never needed an extra battery, extra charger cables, yes!

Look in the Aftermarket Software forum and the FAQ site for great apps.

Good luck.

These vendors sell for the 8300 too. I see the page title is wrong. It's really the accessories page.
