I'm glad that the pins have changed from the N9 - means I can throw away my stupid adaptor and buy any headphone I want (I quite like the Coloud Pops, which are obviously iPhone/Android/Lumia-wired only). No need to either have something stupid dangling from my headphone jack or search out something "Nokia compatible" (actually I think even the new Ashas have fallen in line now, so headsets will soon be impossible to find Old-Nokia-wired).
I have a pair of coloud pops and the following weird thing happens (n900 means the N900 headset that came with the phone)

Code:
       BB Z10    N900     N9             808   Nexus 7 
pops   ok        noise    not detected   dead  no mic
n900   ok        ok       ok             ???   no mic
Can't make heads or tails. BB10 has autodetect? Or is it something else and Lumias/Pops still have the old Nokia standard?

btw the Nokia standard was the sane one. Wiring the ground (3 cables) to the tiniest pin of the plug is insane, and almost impossible to do by hand.
