The Bluetooth is useful only for those Nokias that are design to use them. Be sure, if you are getting a headset, that it is compatible with your model of phone.

Carrying your Nokia in your pocket or purse is fine but you might want to do more to protect it from damage. Not only will the look of your phone be affected by damage, but the way it works could, too. The clip that is on the majority of holsters and even a few cases makes it easy to keep your cell phone where you can grab it quickly when you need to.

A couple of other Nokia cell phone accessories that combine utility with decorativeness are antennas and face plates.

With antennas, you can go with glitz and flash or a more utilitarian look. Many of the fancier antennas even light up and flash when your cell phone is being used. You can even have an antenna that flashes your first or last initial when you use your phone.

Rounding out the available Nokia cell phone accessories are data cables, memory cards and keypads. If your Nokia is a camera phone and/or is MP3 capable, you will want a data cable so you can upload your favorite music to your phone as well as ringtones, wallpaper and screensavers. Downloading pictures from your camera phone will be a breeze, too.

The keypads add functionality with personality to your Nokia. The available types are crystal, laser and flashing keypads.

There are lots of choices when it comes to Nokia cell phone accessories. It is up to you to decide which ones you need and/or want. Be practical, be flamboyant or both.
