This really sucks. At any rate I did find out something interesting. The Astro Gaming A40 headset does appear to work right out of the box the same should be true of the A30. I have to do some more testing but I think the mic works as well. 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'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.
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.

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?

You do realize that the S2m isn't specifically for Apple products. 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 what I want to know is if people can utilize the microphone or have any other issues with the S2m.

I've been using the bundled ones. A little chip of plastic came off the casing on the buds and eventually the buds came apart. But I've now superglued them back and everything is OK.
