Judging from the high-resolution picture on the wiki it looks like the
phone has a very special 2.5mm connector with 4 separate electrical
connections (instead of the more common 3-connection version).  If I'm
interpreting this correctly they are running both ground,
left-earphone, right-earphone and microphone in one plug.  To me, this
seems much more convenient than the 2x 3.5mm plug method used for
computer headphones.
