2.5mm, definitely - but *not* the 4 contact 2.5mm used on the GTA01.
Wired headsets for phone use give *far* better quality than any bluetooth
headset I've used with the exception of maybe the jawbone. I talk about
4000 minutes/month on my phone so the convenience of being able to buy almost
any headset on the market far outweighs (for me) the convenience of using any
stereo earphones on the market. For stereo audio I'm far more likely to use
bluetooth A2DP than wired headphones.
As for how common they are, 2.5mm phone headsets are the most common by
far. After that comes the 2.5mm 4-contact headsets (which nokia used for a
long time). Then come the various proprietary connectors - but almost any
third party wired headset is available with a 2.5mm 3-contact connector.
They *do* have 3.5mm headsets, but they tend to be very large and not have as
much variety because they're designed for people to use at a desktop computer
for things like dictation or skype where size doesn't matter.

If you want to buy some earphones for a mobile, than you will get only some
with 2.5mm connectors.

Exactly. 3.5mm for the same reason.
Are there any tangible benefits to using 2.5mm though?

Hi community!
A short poll: on a future GTA0x (>2), would you prefer to have
A) "standard" 2.5mm headset (mic+phones) connector, where you have to buy
a cheap adapter if you want to use your "old" headphones, (the way like
it's for GTA01/02) or
B) classic 3.5mm headphones "Walkman(R)" connector, where you have to DIY
an
adapter for any standard cellphone headset? (or does anybody know of
3.5mm headSET standards or adapters?)
please hurry to vote, we have to make a decision. Thanks
cheers
