Not really the point that quality 2.5mm headphones are available. They are a response to dumb phones having 2.5mm jacks when they should have had 3.5mm. There are more top quality 3.5mm headsets available. Vladimir raises a very good question: "What is the jack intended to be used for? Music or calls?" The Neo has bluetooth. Most phones with bluetooth don't have a jack at all. So since this one does have bluetooth, wouldn't you want to use your bluetooth headset for calls and your favorite stereo headphones for music? I know I would. Can't wait for the future versions to get A2DP. Then this question will be moot.

High quality headsets designed for listening to music on cell phones are already available with 4-pole 2.5mm jacks. Take a look at Sennheiser<http://www.sennheisercommunications.com/comm/icm_eng.nsf/root/products_mobile_mobile_music>(what I use). I'm sure there are others. http://www.sennheisercommunications.com/comm/icm_eng.nsf/root/products_mobile_mobile_music Don Wolfgang S.

Agreed. Etymotic (http://www.etymotic.com/) makes a great set of very high fidelity headsets, but the stereo ones are all 3.5mm. The 2.5mm one is only monophonic, so it is pretty useless for listening to one's music. (They do make phone calls sound great though!) I've hoping that the combined stereo + microphone 2.5mm jack will catch on and we'll eventually be able to buy high-quality combined phone/stereo headsets. -wolfgang _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
