so do you upgrade? I was talking to my friend last night and he said it's as if HTC leaves one thing out on each phone on purpose so that you have a reason to upgrade. haha.

Are you sure about that? Where did you get that info? It would be awesome if that were correct. My mogul's headphones went MIA O.O Fortunately I had my fusic's 2.5mm to 3.5mm port + mic + volume + call button adapter.

It worked great for music and calls.

Heres an idea if any ones listening, make me a bluetooth box or stick smaller than the ipod shuffle that i can connect a standard 3.5 jack too and i'll be very happy

Well, then you'll be happy to know that they exist and i've seen them on ebay.

Check out the Plantronics Pulsar 260. That may be what your looking for. I may look into buying this one in the future.

The Sprint Diamond includes the adapter I described (it's in the unboxing videos on YouTube), so I can only assume the Touch Pro includes the same adapter.

Is it me or is dongle a really funny word?

Thank you. I can do without the radio. I usually use bluetooth, but sometimes bletooth isn't the best option.

Been using these for awhile b/c earbuds dont provide enough base for me.

Have you taken the phone snowboarding or in the cold? bluetooth earbuds freeze. I tried both, over the ear and ear buds. So yah, sometimes a 3.5 jack would be better.

Damn, you must be either very rich, or very good at snowboarding. Either way, I can't see why anyone would take the risk with a $700 phone...
