I tried one like that on my older Nokia -- just one limitation. I don't hear stereo sound when playing the FM radio (built into the phone) through the headset plugged into this adapter. Have you tried playing stereo program material through that adapter? I have been strongly tempted to get this item for my newest phone, which has 2.5mm Nokia connector instead of the classic Nokia "pop" connector. I kind of like the Bluetooth concept, except that the stereo headsets I've tried each have some limitation: not good enough quality, not comfortable enough for long-term wear, or too bulky (pick two). And, I can't listen to the radio with a BT headset, only wired. The wired headset that came with this latest phone is pretty nice (though I miss the wire loop around back of neck that came on the previous model), but the rubber pieces that protect the ear from the metal earbud rim comes off and gets lost really easily (lost about one per week for three weeks until I stopped using it).
