As you may know, the arrangement of the 4-pole jack of the nokia phones is not compatible with the one from apple.
Sadly, nowadays every headphone and mobile manufacturer follows the non-standard apple way (I think even Nokia on the WPs), and I want an earphone+mic set-up for my N9 (or N900).

So I'm going to get my soldering gun and just build an adapter (it's actually easy, you just need to invert mass and mic).

So, two points:
- If anyone is interested, I'll buy more components and make some extra adapters (for only price of components + postage, it's not for the money). I can send them in the UK (or in hand in london).
- if anyone knows different sources for cheap and nice looking 4-pole 3.5 jack and 4 way cables not sold by the 100m in the uk, please advise

Right now, I'll try my luck with farnell and maplin:
this or this for the female
this or this for the male
and some cable like this or some from farnell if I found some.
