3.5mm headphones now standard on htc

Big plus.

I'm sure people have an individual GPS receiver too. I use my phone as one, and I use it as a music player.

WRONG!
You can actually trick the bluetooth device to make it think it lost the connection, using your phone, and then it will try to reconnect, send the key needed, and you pick that up, and bam, you have control.
Whether or not it is in discoverable.

For all those saying bluetooth stereo, i only use this for my car. As for everyday use bluetooth stereo sucks compared to my Bose 3.5mm headsets. if you actually use your phone for music often then you would definitely find this thread of value and it should bring a smile to your face.

that bluejacking thing you guys mentioned sounds kinda crazy i will have to do some research on that

get a Jabra BT3030 and you can use your favorite 3.5mm headphones as you earpiece.

I got one and I have never once hooked up a 3.5mm using an adapter since. Even when hooking up to the stereo in my house. I just plug the BT device in to the 3.5 jack and I still walk around the floor with the phone in my pocket which lets me remote control the music with no extra hardware.

1. Within the next few years, all cars will have A2DP capable stereos. Many cars already do.

2. I cannot tell the difference when I play my music through the adapter or the BT device. My BT device uses the same headset and they sound the same.

3. You can't compare a bluetooth headset to your bose, they are seperate devices with different drivers. With my set up, I use the same headset wired or through BT, and the sound is the same.

4. The number 1 use of my phone is my Rhapsody To-Go subscription.

Wired earphones should be put to death.

MobileSyrup is showing (via video hands-on) that the CDMA/GSM variant of the Touch Pro2 does in fact feature a 3.5mm jack.

Hopefully Sprint is as smart as Telus and incorporate that b/c no one wants that proprietary crap Htc is been trying to hold on for so long!

One could hope this is the real reason for the sprint tp2 delay
