From what I have read, the iPhone Headphones have a microphone inculded in the set up that lets you answer calls while listening to music, without having to take the headphones off.
If I was using a pair of non-iPhone headphones (without a mic built in the assembly), can I still continue to answer the call using with the headphones plugged in, and use the phone mic to talk? Using Shure e3c headphones, it did exactly what you wish. Sound through the headphones and talk through the on-board mike. Using Bose QC2s, it didn't work so well. When the call arrived the music stopped with a GSM signaling noise in the headphones. During the call there was only a crackling/popping noise in the headphones, the person on the other end of the line could hear what I was saying. |

Just tried it.. It works.. You can listen thru non ipod ear buds, and talk into the phone.
So when I do get the iPhone, I can connect it to the car stereo using an aux input cable (as one does to an iPod), and if a call was to come through, I could listen to it on the car audio and talk using the in built mic... Thats some money saved on a bluetooth adaptor... (should work in theory... or am I missing something) |

My review of the new 3G:
- Bluetooth is the car is horrible. There is an unbearable echo, apparently widely reported. -I hope you sit down for this one: iPhone DOES NOT RECHARGE IN A BMW. Or in several other types of car, for that matter. What were they thinking (if anything)? :) |
So why won't AT&T now unlock iPhones? They have us locked into contracts that assure them a profit.

Why don't car stereo makers just put USB ports on their products?
That is what IFE makers are starting to do. Of course, they'd had to do more to support iPhone and iPod beyond USB charging. There's probably royalties to Intel as well as costs for USB silicon. |

UK readers will be familiar with Martin Lewis, money saver extraordinaire. His site has a guide to saving money on the lifetime contract cost of the iPhone on O2, including a loophole I wasn't aware of. |

Careful - someone on FT probably still has a Cube running FT (even HOM!)
As someone once famously said, 'black don't crack'. :D |

I would wait a little bit and see if they change their policy on this. For any other phone they have locked to their system, they usually let you unlock it after about 3 months.
