Palm Pre Fashion Accessories

Form merges with function when you look at the first batch of Palm Pre fashion accessories to accompany the hotly anticipated smartphone to the market. As with so many other cell phones, you'll have the opportunity to consider a wide range of add-ons for the new Pre. You have to remember that this is no Palm Centro; Palm's newest phone is a quantum leap forward from that.

The Palm Pre was initially released by Sprint in June 2009, offering one of the strongest alternatives to the Apple iPhone to date. It gets equipped with a large touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, integrated camera, and a brand new webOS smartphone platform.

Time will tell whether this handset will be enough to return Palm to its former glory as a premiere device maker, but in the meantime, you can surely enjoy the growing range of Palm Pre fashion accessories that will be hitting store shelves in the months to come. Shop for them both at physical locations and online!

Perhaps one of the most innovative accessories for the Palm Pre is the all-new Palm Touchstone Charging Kit. With most cell phone chargers, you have to plug a cable into the phone. This is not the case with Touchstone.

Instead, a special Touchstone back cover is used with the Palm Pre and then you can simply place the phone on the Touchstone Charging Dock. There is no wire to connect directly. The phone will magnetically snap into place and begin charging.

The Touchstone Charging Kit has an MSRP from Palm of $69.99.

While they may not be quite as chic as the Touchstone Charger, the other chargers and batteries for the Palm Pre can be just as useful. Shopping through a Palm accessory store, you'll find a myriad of cables and attachments that will allow you to charge the Pre in your car, through international wall outlets and more.

You may also want to consider buying an extra extended battery in case you find yourself away from an available power source for an extended period of time. Some of these replace the OEM battery, whereas others are external batteries that act as portable charging stations. Prices vary accordingly.

If you really want to consider some Palm Pre fashion accessories, then you'll want to dress up the outward look of your hot new smartphone. Even though it has only been out for a short while, the Palm Pre already has access to a respectable range of faceplates and other dress-ups.

The official Palm Pre leather side/slip case (MSRP $39.99) maintains a sense of professionalism and style with a plain black appearance. Alternatively, you can look into third party cases and custom cell phone skins for an even more unique look. For instance, you'll find some stylish Palm Pre pouches from Golla for about $20.

Especially with cell phone laws like those in California, Bluetooth headsets have become very popular cell phone accessories for just about anyone. This includes the array of Palm Pre fashion accessories that may want to use with the smartphone, both for communication and for entertainment.

One of the better (mono) Bluetooth headsets that complements the svelte appearance of the Palm Pre is the Aliph Jawbone II. This features noise-canceling technology, a fantastic build quality, and a look that simply cannot be beat.

If you're more inclined to watch videos and listen to music, then a stereo Bluetooth headset like the Sennheiser MM200 sound Isolating Bluetooth Headset may be more appropriate. This gives you a set of stereo earphones with a remote control around your neck.

It's up to you to decide who makes the best smartphones, but one thing is for certain: if you are going to take the route of this hot new cell phone, then you'll want to load up on some great Palm Pre fashion accessories too. You can be highly productive and look good doing it!
