Accessories for the BlackBerry Bold 9700

Accessories for the BlackBerry Bold 9700

When we posed the question recently asking What is the first accessory you'll buy for your BlackBerry Storm2?, it was clear that some form of protection - be it a leather case, rubber skin or invisible shield, was the most popular accessory category. When it comes to accessories for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, it is yet another new form factor from Research in Motion and thus need to be aware that some of your old stuff, but not all of it, will work.

Best Selling BlackBerry Bold 9700 Accessories

Though the Bold 9700 shares the same Bold name as its older 9000 model number sibling, the form factor is much different than its predecessor: its size is more Curve-like than Bold like, and similar to other newer BlackBerry Smartphones the Bold 9700 features a MicroUSB connection instead of the MiniUSB port found on the original Bold. The only consistent accessory component between the original Bold and the Bold 9700 is the battery - both use the same slim M-S1 battery. To see all compatible accessories for your BlackBerry Bold 9700 and stay on top of the latest cases, skins and accessories, simply visit our BlackBerry Bold 9700 Accessory page (link at the bottom of this article).

Contest: Now that the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has officially been announced, we'll do something a little bit different and celebrate the occassion by giving away some BlackBerry Bold 9700 Accessories! We already have OEM BlackBerry Bold 9700 skins in stock at ShopCrackBerry.com, so we'll give away three skins to three lucky winners. All you need to do is leave a comment to this post letting us know what's the first accessory you plan to buy for your BlackBerry Bold 9700. A car charger? A Bluetooth headset? Maybe a BlackBerry Bold 9700 charging dock? Let us know! Contest ends this Sunday, Oct.25th, at Midnight PST. *

The first accessory I would get for any BB is a screen protector.

You say the size is more Curve like. If it fits my leather case the first will be a car charger, if not a new case.

Screen Protector is first.

 
 
Posted by Steepler2k Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

A hard case. I'm prone to dropping.

 
 
Posted by quailallstar Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Definitely getting a case. Either a rubber or leather one!

 
 
Posted by wirelessgal Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I'll be buying a screen protector first. Gotta protect the screen from scratches!

 
 
Posted by McKThoM Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I would have to get a screen protector/invisi shield and either a holster or rubber case, as long as my H500 and car charger are still fully compatible

 
 
Posted by amhays87 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I am def going to be purchasing myself another docking station like I have for my bold 9000 now! Love it as my alarm clock and only way to tell time in my room! :)

 
 
Posted by cjcjcjcj Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Definitely a dock. Probably two... office and home.

 
 
Posted by kepano915 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I'm eligible for an upgrade with AT&T and will wait for the Bold 9700. I would like to get a screen protector, a nice protective case (just in case I dropped it). I've dropped my Curve 8310 a couple of time. Maybe later on, and SD more than 2GB I have now. So many to choose...but first a screen protector.

 
 
Posted by nedu09 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

screen protector :)

 
 
Posted by mantheron Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Probably a 16 GB SDHC card.

 
 
Posted by Jay21fire Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Posted by omg_search Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

a skin is definitely a must have

 
 
Posted by swimman Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

First on the list is a rubber skin and then perhaps some type of holster.

 
 
Posted by FelizConejo Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Something clear and shiny that says "look, but don't touch me sidewalk!"
or maybe the big and juiciest SD card it can handle.

 
 
Posted by poorsha Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I would purchase a leather case first.

 
 
Posted by zee921 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Need the charging cradle to set this beauty in at work while I listen to my tunes.

 
 
Posted by illini_brian Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

...and then a charging dock.

 
 
Posted by AngryChineseDriver Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

The first accessory I'll need is a Bluetooth headset so I won't get a ticket while driving and talking!

I won't need a case...keeping my baby in my hands at all times ;).

 
 
Posted by Terryindtw Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I want a bodyglove skin with the kickstand, best accessory
I have for my current curve.

 
 
Posted by zelda26 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I would buy the dock!

 
 
Posted by FINEAZZBLCKWOMN Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I will be getting a screen protector, leather case, blue tooth and charging station.

 
 
Posted by bboz Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I recently got 3 out of 4 for my 2-yr old curve :)

will be a long while before dressing up 9700.

 
 
Posted by JKO2010 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I would get a 16GBSD card

 
 
Posted by grreyes24 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

The first thing i'm getting is a huge SD card then probably some kind of case to keep it beautiful.

 
 
Posted by EndoRush Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

I think it would definitely have to be a screen and body protector. This thing is just too beautiful to be dropped and damaged.

 
 
Posted by wcihlu Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Phantom skinz!

 
 
Posted by dr_w Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

....the skin case.

 
 
Posted by schooner Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Most likely a skin and a bunch of those mini to micro USB adapters for all my chargers

 
 
Posted by bluegoose Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Invisi-Shield to keep that pretty look in tact.

 
 
Posted by barefoot3zk5 Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

After messing up my Bold with welding spatter , I will be buying screen protector followed by charging dock... Can Not Wait

Invisi-Shield to protect that screen.

First and only thing I plan on buying is a Invisibleshield for this puppy!!!

 
 
Posted by alferguson Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

A car charger.

 
 
Posted by poste Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

Definitely Invisi Shield to protect the screen from scatching.

Posted by BostonNewB Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 844 days ago

First thing I'm going to get is a skin/case. Looking at the all the scratches around my 8320, I wish I had gotten one for my first Berry! My Upgrade next month can't come soon enough!! :)
