The Motorola Droid 3 is one of the newer smart phones on the market and is packed with the things we just can’t seem to live without today. Adding a few Droid 3 accessories will allow you to better take advantage of the phones features.
The Droid 3 includes a 1 GHz processor, 16GB of built-in memory (with a maximum of 32 GB with an add-on), an 8MP camera, a HDMI port, a lovely 4 inch touch screen as well as a slide out qwerty keyboard with a fifth row for numbers in addition to all the things we now expect a smart phone to include.
With all the features of a Droid 3, battery life can become a problem, thus having various and easily accessible means of charging the battery or extra batteries are an important consideration.
Cases
Another obvious accessory is a case to protect the Droid 3 from day-to-day wear, as well as those invariable “OOPS!!” moments when for no particular reason the device just slips out of your hand or pocket. The cases available range from the highly protective cases for those users who are exceptionally hard on relatively fragile devices such as cell phones or cameras; to cases that truly show your personality. With the variety of cases for your Droid 3 you should be able to find the perfect solution for your needs.
While shopping for a case consider picking up some screen protectors to protect that lovely screen from scratches.
Headsets
The next important accessory for your Droid 3 is a good headset; unless of course you actually like to spend half of your life with one hand holding the cell phone to your ear and aren’t even a tad bit worried about the rumors that cell phones might cause cancer. There are many products available to meet your specific needs from full headsets, to tiny Bluetooth devices that fit in your ear and are hardly noticeable. Regardless of your choice of headset verify the quality of sound (both incoming and outgoing), if you tend to wear your headset for extended periods of time be sure the fit is comfortable. A headset that is great most of the time might be very uncomfortable when wearing glasses or “shades.”
There are other devices such as the MotoRoker T505 to connect your Droid 3 to your car stereo system.
Cables
The last of what I consider a required accessory for any cell phone is an adequate supply of cables. If you use your Droid 3 both at home and at work, you might want to consider an extra set of cables for charging or connecting to a computer in both locations. The same applies to car chargers if you use more than one vehicle.
The Toys
Now that we’ve covered the essentials it is time to take a look at the toys. Personally I consider these necessities, but others seem to do just fine without them.
Vehicle Mounts
The Droid 3 Vehicle Mount is nearly indispensable if you want to send and receive phone calls while driving or use the multimedia capabilities in the car. Vehicle mounts come in an assortment of types from those that are considered universal to work with many different manufacturers and models of cell phones; to those specifically designed as Droid 3 accessories. Some are designed to attach your phone to the visor, others attach to the window and yet others connect to the dashboard or console.
Cradle-Docking Station
The Droid 3 Cradle or Multi-Media HD Dock with Rapid Wall Charger is another one of those toys that I consider a necessity. It allows you to both charge the phone and sync it while allowing you to place the phone at a perfect viewing angle. It automatically transitions to a media mode which can be used for desktop purposes or bedside purposes. As a bedside device you have the option of using your Droid 3 as an alarm clock in addition to its other functions.
Adding a few Droid 3 Accessories to your phone can increase the functionality and personality of your phone while making it an even more essential part of your life.
