A good set of accessories unleashes your phones' potential like no other enhancement. A nice speaker, Bluetooth handsfree or car kit enable you to use your phone for tasks other than the usual.

Here are some accessories that are available at a discount and will help you use your phone better.

Nokia BH-503 Bluetooth headphones

This Blutooth handfree  has a very comfortable design and offers decent sound quality thanks to DSP (digital sound processing) technology. Both music and voice clarity are great and the neck band design means that you can wear this headphone without worrying that it will slip off. The handsfree connects with any Bluetooth handset, and has call and music control buttons on the handsfree itself. This Nokia device can be bought at IndiaTimes shopping for Rs 1,250.

Philips SBA1700 Speaker

Philips SBA1700 is compact, stylish and very light. The design is neat with a polished metal finish. It has a foldable stand and metal grill, and can be connected to any device with a 3.5 mm jack.

In terms of control there is only one power button and an LED light for indication. There is no volume control on the speaker Sound is clear and output is decent with 2 W of RMS power. This speaker  brings out vocals very well. It is handy for internet radio, audio books, podcasts etc. and would make a good gift for elders, mothers and kids with portable mp3 players/ipods/mobiles.

The speaker works with 3 AAA cells. You can use rechargeable NIMH cells. The speaker  comes with a carry bag to protect it from scratches. Priced at Rs 950 on Flipkart, this is one of the cheapest speakers of this quality.

Belkin AirCast Connect in-car adapter

Belkin is a very popular name in car kits, and Aircast is a value for money offering since it not only offers music through the car's speakers, it is also very useful as a handsfree kit and doubles up as a mobile charger.

It can be connected to a car's cigarette lighter socket, which then acts as a USB port that you can use to charge any phone.

There are two 3.5 mm cables - one connects to the phone's jack and the other to the car's stereo. There is a small pod which houses the only button (for call and play/pause) that you can use to answer a call. The pod also houses the microphone. It can be attached anywhere in the car so long as the microphone picks up your voice well.

As soon as you receive a call, Aircast stops music playback and by pressing a button you can have it route the incoming sound through your car's speakers while your voice is captured via the mic.

There is a lead ring around the pod that glows in the dark. The product comes with a one year limited warranty. It costs Rs 2,399 at eBay.

Verbatim 8 GB MicroSD card

Accessories are a waste of money if your phone doesn't have memory to store music. The good news is that memory cards are getting cheaper by the day.

Verbatim is a new name in the memory business but it is catching up fast thanks to good quality and value for money. The 8 GB card from Verbatim is a class 4 SDHC card capable of 4 Mbps data transfer speed. This is currently the most popular type of MicroSD card for mobile phones. It is available at Rs 399 from Letsbuy.

Riona mobile charging holder

This is the cheapest product in the list, though that doesn't mean it is not useful. Many a times we struggle to prop up our phone somewhere while it charges in a moving car. This holder is a perfect, space saving and low cost solution for this problem.

It is a simple piece of plastic that has a cradle for the phone and a vertical piece with three holes through which the charger of the phone can be inserted to recharge the device.

However, avoid using cheap chargers with very thin connectors as they often slip out of the socket and your phone might fall. Whichever charger you choose, check for a loose fit before you leave the phone for charging.

The HTC One V has gotten much less attention than its beefier brothers, the One X and One S smartphones making their way to AT&T (One X), Sprint (One X), and T-Mobile (One S) as early as this month. HTC has just announced that the entry-level One V will be shown off at CTIA later this week in New Orleans, and that the One V will go on sale on “a variety of US partners” later this summer.

The HTC One V is an entry level device that has the benefit of the beautifully-designed HTC One line. This is not your average entry-level phone, with the looks of the One S and One V with entry level specs that should see the device come with an extremely low price tag. We don’t yet know which partners will be getting their hands on the One V, but we expect this to receive a widespread US launch in just a few months.

If someone prices this device at around $300 unlocked, we can see it flying off store-shelves. Full specs for the One V are as follows:

HTC One V Specifications:-

• 1GHz single-core Qualcomm processor
• 3.7-inch TFT capacitive display (480 x 800)
• HTC Sense 4.0
• Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
• 512MB RAM
• 4GB built-in storage
• 5-megapixel camera w/ LED flash and AF
• MicroSD card slot (up to 32GB)
• Bluetooth v4.0 w/ A2DP
• MicroUSB
• Dimensions: 120.3 x 59.7 x 9.2mm
• Weight: 115g

We’ll bring you the details as we learn of US releases for the HTC One V. Anyone out there considering the One V as a cheap alternative to the ever-more-expensive crop of devices hitting the market?

Another year, another epic showdown between HTC and Samsung. Last year Samsung and HTC went head-to-head with the Galaxy S II and the Sensation. Both phones featured amazing specs sheets, but Samsung ultimately came out on top.

This year, the story’s pretty much the same. The only things that have really changed are the names of the phones and a few key specifications. HTC has stepped up its game with the introduction of the One X, which went on sale across Europe in early April. HTC’s phone features a 4.7-inch 720p Super LCD2 display which wraps around the edges of the phone’s unibody polycarbonate shell. Powering the One X is a quad-core 1.5GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor paired with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

While the phone features incredible specs, the One X’s 8 megapixel camera with dedicated ImageChip and ImageSense technology is what HTC is using to really differentiate the phone from the competition. But things aren’t that simple.

The HTC One X may have the advantage of an early start, but Samsung’s plan to hold back the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S III gave them the opportunity to see HTC’s offering and make sure their flagship device was on par, or better. The Samsung Galaxy S III features a 4.8-inch pentile Super HD AMOLED display, Exynos 4 Quad processor and an 8 megapixel autofocus camera with zero shutter lag technology. The SGSIII is wrapped in a sleek 8.6mm polycarbonate shell with curved edges.

The spec comparison may be similar, but Samsung chose to equip its phone with a larger 2100 mAh battery and an expandable storage slot. Most consumers will gloss over these two features, but power users will certainly be drawn to them.

Each phone has its unique advantages, but we all know that it’s not always about having the best specifications. A manufacturer’s reputation plays a huge role in a consumer’s purchasing decisions. Picking the right Android phone is a daunting task and we don’t envy the uninformed masses who will need to choose between the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One X.

I have not used the Samsung Galaxy S III yet, but that doesn’t really matter. Samsung has proven time and time again that they can deliver phones with incredible specifications, but the experience of owning a Samsung phone doesn’t even come close to what HTC has to offer. The HTC One X may not have a removable battery, but it doesn’t seem imperative to have more than a full day of battery life on a smartphone. When it comes to design, the HTC One X is light years ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S III which seems to take design cues from the Palm Pre which was released in 2009.

On the software side, HTC Sense is far better than any implementation of TouchWiz and then there’s always the question of getting software updates when new versions of Android are released. Samsung does a decent job of rolling out updates, but our research has shown that HTC has the best track record of updating its phones to the next version of Android.

Who do you think will be the winner in Android’s big summer showdown? Is the HTC One X good enough to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S III?  Let us know which features or specs have the most influence on your purchasing decisions and which phone you will be purchasing this summer.
