3.5, definitely.<br>And continuing the earlier comment about Nokia - the N95 (and possibly other models) has a very interesting 3.5mm connector that provides much more than just sound.<br>If a 3.5mm headphones are inserted, it plays regular stereo. However it also accepts the more advanced connector of Nokia's provided headphones which also have a small console to control volume, play/stop/forward/backward, etc.. That one has 4 contact points and not 3 like in regular stereo headphones.<br>
It even supports video playback - there is a cable that comes in the box and uses the same connector point to output several video types.<br><br>Sometimes the phone detects the plugged device automatically (I guess if it supports some Nokia standard), and if it doesn't recognize, it provides the user a list of options to choose from (headphones, tv-out cable, music stand).<br>

(and even<br>

bluetooth for<br>

| I'd rather not be forced to use bluetooth with a headset. My<br>
experience is that<br>
| bluetooth interferes with wifi (same freq. band) and you'll have<br>
another battery to<br>
| worry about.<br>

There is some "co-existence" stuff in GTA02 and future products that<br>
reduces this effect... the two devices warn each other to defer what<br>
they had planned because the other device is using the air.<br>
<br>
Agree about the extra battery issue, but I have to agree with Thomas<br>
wired headsets no longer seem to be a fashion accessory in wide use,<br>
whereas BT cyborgs are all over the shop like a bad episode of Dr Who.<br>
