guys im after finding out the wiring n connections inside the mic/button/volume unit. Are you electronicly minded and would take em apart and do a diagram for me. if not where are you and would you be up for sending them to me. I can then post this info on here.

Ive come to the conclusion that bluetooth cant do what i need to need to work with wired units.

I like the wired one that came with my phone. I'll look for a link but I picked up one last time I was in Taipei...

If you have a TMobile store or Cingular Store around they might just give you a wired headset from the display box...I think that most people "throw" them away and go for the BT headsets.

Just another random thought.

After much research and experimentation, I finally found and acquired the Shure i2c-T, which is promoted for the Treo 650 but works perfectly with my 8125 - very well-made, thick cable, monster dual-speaker in-the-ear speakers - VoiceCommand works fine with this - I am very pleased with this set. I found it for under $100 by shopoing around online.
