jabra bluetooth (or 2.5mm adapter) for s105?

[chudy]

is there anyway to use the jabra bluetooth 2.5mm adapter on the samsung s105? i read that samsung's 2.5mm adapter is non standard, are there any conversion plugs?

any other jabra like bluetooth headsets with adapters for non-bluetooth phones which would work on the s105 with an adapter?

Jabra quoted me saying that they would have support for the Samsung plugs in Q2/Q3 2003.... that's the last I heard from them on all fronts.

no conversion yet... but when tghere is, there's a universal bluetooth connectivity headset for about $250US, and works for all standard 2.5mm jacks... made by jabra.. they sell them at best buy...

I don't understand why all these new phones doesn't have standard 2.5 mm jack. Are the phones company getting really greedy or what?

I wouldnt be suprised if greed had something to do with it, but the reason that Samsung has the special shielding on their jacks if so you can have the special hangup/answer button on the headset, supposidly. I really like that feature but it would be nice to be able to get a better headset, one that clipped to the ear more and had a boom.

My Motorola headset has this ability, yet it still works in non-Motorola phones. In addition, they could have used another existing standard (Nokia) and achieved the same goal.

I'm thinking that greed is the primary motivator here.
