Default Annoying Dongle?

Anyone else find this attached headset dongle annoying as hell?

Couldnt they have made this a sleek, rectangular snap on type thing, or better yet, install the headset jack on the device... argh.

Any aftermarket solutions?

You can get a sleeker adapter from xpansys for about 10 bucks (it's easy to find, just do a search on there). I have it, and it's pretty nice for using a headset. The dongle's good if you want to charge or sync your phone and listen to music at the same time, but I agree, it's clunky.

Well it's large because of the number of connections on it. Two extUSB, one 3.5mm and one 2.5mm ... that's a lot of stuff.

I use the dongle in my car, I have it permanently there with my windshield mount. I have it hooked from there into my car speakers.
(and a microphone it is annoying that it doesn't go through the device when hooked up without one, but with this my calls go through the car stereo with a cassette tape adapter)
I also have a charger cable permanently connected to the dongle. So when I get in my car I just plug in the dongle and place it in the mount and I have all functions, headset, car stereo and charge.
I agree it is large, but for all the connections it offers, it is great.

When I am bringing my fuze to listen to music from it, I just connect a much smaller angle adapter I bought off amazon.
