Default [Q] Does Nokia WH-701 Stereo Headset work with samsung galaxy S ?

Hi guys,

Can someone please tell me whether we can use the Nokia WH-701 Stereo Headset for making calls and change music tracks with the Samsung galaxy S I9000?

the default samsung one is of poor quality for listening to music and it doesnt have individual keys to change music tracks. it also doesn't fell good when plugged in. Its plastic doesn't feel smooth.

can you please tell any wired hands-free with music controls that work with samsung galaxy S?

I would love to buy this Nokia set if its works with our phone.

I have the WH-800. Sound and mic work ok, but the buttons dont do anything.

not even samsung remote controls from other models work, it must be specified to work with the i9000, or else 90% of the time they just wont work.

i have got hold of the headphones, All the buttons dont work with the samsug default player and the android default player.

we can make calls and listen to music but the buttons are useless. is it really a hardware thing? or some software compatibility issue?

if its a software issue, can we create any music app that works with this buttons? (wishful thinking)
