Cool Every time HTC announces a phone without 3.5mm jack...
... thousands of people buy iPhones.

The iPhone only works with a 3.5mm headset IF you buy a $10 adapter to go with it. The jack is inset in the phone and cannot be reached by a normal 3.5mm plug. So you are forced to buy Apple's or an " iPhone approved " headset. Or the $10 adapter. Just like you can but a mini usb adapter to use 3.5mm with HTC

First of all, it is ridiculous that HTC doesn't put 3.5mm jacks on ALL new devices.
Second of all... choosing an iPhone isn't the opposite of choosing HTC.
Thirdly, if a 3.5mm jack is your only problem.. you must be way off... because that's the least of the problems..

Strong processors, Flash in the Diamond2 and HD.... these are problems.

XDA is about developing and is for developers. Any user that recognises that will gain the most benefit from this site


 
This is and always will be a site for developers, pure and simple. Without them we are nothing, without them there would be no reason for XDA Developers to exist; we should never ever forget that. Without them this place would not be called XDA-Developers but something else, e.g Mobile Phone User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

My Axim, which was manufactured by HTC also came with a 3.5mm jack. That's not the issue guys. Sony Ericsson's X1, also manufactured by HTC came with 3.5mm jack. See a trend? We need to put pressure on HTC - why defend HTC's decision to not use 3.5mm jacks at all? They only do it so they can sell their stupid extUSB connectors, which are liable to break, fall apart and add bulk.

The next person to say "Bluetooth A2DP" gets the pleasure of buying me an extended battery by Seidio.

Also, why did the Touch HD come with 3.5mm jack and then they removed it on the TD2 and TP2?
