If you find something, let us all know as I'm defo looking for a 3.5mm jacked, wired, mic'd remote - and being unable to unearth one, it's just one of the reasons I'm thinking about putting the N900 on the scrapheap. It may be a nerd's delight, but there's too many of the basics it does abysmally, or not at all.

If you can deal with headsets it may be worth taking a look at the Astro gaming line:http://www.astrogaming.com/products/3/Audio-Systems/

It occurs to me that it should be possible to use the USB port on the phone to connect a headset and just pass the various signals that way. Any gaps in functionality could be addressed in software with relative ease.

But obviously - no way to control call pickup, adjust volume, etc etc. So pretty useless either way.

It's rather bizarre that Nokia seemingly hasn't made this bit open, or that no-one's done anything with it. Some third-party iPhone headsets have three-button remotes which do call pickup and media playback (with full transport controls by multiple button-press sequences) for example. But perhaps more bizarre that they've not made it work with their AD-series jacked remotes.



Good luck with that.

Has anyone tried these:http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/product...h-mic-reviews/

No volume control but it does have a call answer/end button. If these do work how is the sound quality?

Klipsch outright says that they cannot guarantee that the S4i which does have an Apple remote will function correctly with non Apple hardware. They say simply to check your manuals for the S2m. I don't doubt that sound would work for the S2m
