phones would be perfect if they just stuck a nice 3.5mm jack on the top of the phone for sound only. No video. No data. Just sound.
Using a normal set of earphones would be so much easier and plugging into a larger output. If you want wired handsfree, simple. Keep using the current method.
just needs to butch up the connectors a bit.
Definitely agree with you on this.

The FastPort does work well, although in my old V600i it has rusted :s
Usually the problem lies with the actual connector bit, don't know the name, the one that goes into the phone.

I agree it wouldn't be a bad thing.

I think we've seen the fastport + 3.5mm approach on
W980, didn't we?

W980 doesn't count. Hasn't been released yet.

Not yet, but it's close enough that it's worth waiting to see. If it's a real success, maybe SE will bring out 3.5mm audio on all W series.

Unprotected 3.5 mm hole on the phone which invites moisture, dust etc...?
No thanks...

Um, does anyone have any visual proof of the 3.5mm jack on the W980i? I've just been looking at images of it and can only see the fastport. Granted, I can't see the top and bottom on any pictures, but it doesn't look like they could fit a 3.5mm jack in either place due to size.

The 3.5mm hole on some Nokias which is positioned on the top of the handset does look vulnerable.

Sliding cover?
Or waterproof the inside of the top section of the phone so that the cables running down from the 3.5mm jack, speaker and all the other bits up there are the only thing that pass through a cut out at the top of the barrier, that way replacing these parts yourself won't be too difficult either.

An Industry standard with a 3.5mm jack plug would change how most phones have to be designed, then
wouldn't want apple/ samsung etc.. H/phones plugged into their phones and vice versa.
I've found with a 3.5mm jack, the lead on the headphones seems to always break internally where the wire goes into the male Jack, on the fastport there isn't this problem.
