Although each one of the phones is slightly different than the others, there are some great accessories that are available for all.

Whether it be batteries or chargers, phones are useless if they have lost power. Available for the Droid phone is an array of choices when it comes to a desktop charging solution. Unlike a standard AC adapter, docking stations and cradles support more features. The Motorola Droid Sync and Charge Desktop Cradle and 2nd Battery Charging Slot, allows for connection to ac power and to a PC or Mac via USB. The multimedia mode enables the phone to present its multimedia options from the home screen for use while charging, and the cradle supports inserting a second battery.

Every now and then, we tire of our phone's look. Functionality is there, but we can't help but think of changing the style. Rather than investing in a new phone, invest in some new skins.
