They make a stereo headset for the MPx 220. Go here to check it out. I have on and it works great. If you are listening to music or watching a video and a call comes in, it will pause and you can press the button on the headset to take the call.

Thanks Omega. I found just that model on bestbuy.com after reading your reply, but the local store didn't have any (and I want it for a trip starting tomorrow). Turned out radio shack had a $4 adapter to make my regular headphones work with the phone. I won't have the pause-for-call functionaility... actually I won't even have a microphone, but since I use my phone for just about everything BUT phone calls most of the time, it will be no problem.

Once I started fiddling around with my mpx220, which I've had for about a month, I determined that I ought to be able to squeeze full iPod functionality our of it. I bought a 512 MB mini SD ram card and loaded a bunch of stuff on it. Then yesterday I bought a motorola-brand bluetooth headset yesterday (HS820 or some such) and got it all set up today with my phone without too much pain or suffering. After noting the connected state on the headset (blinking every 3 seconds) I started up a mp3 on media player, and much to my chagrin, it played on my phone instead of the earpiece.

I fiddled around with it for awhile, and eventually called motorola bluetooth support, and the tech drone told me it would not be possible to send anything other than voice calls to the unit.

Beyond that, I wasn't particularly happy with the sound quality. I would be fine for a phone call, but when I linked it up with my laptop and WAS able to play music, I wasn't at all happy with it, compared to a fairly cheap set of wired headphones I've got (of course the plug for those earphones is too big for the mpx headphone output). Then there's the fact that it only goes in one ear, which just doesn't seem right for music.

End result- I returned the thing, and the folks at the cingular store didn't have anything they could sell me with output to both ears. I also couldn't find anything on ebay for both ears that said it was explicitly compatible with an mpx220 or with motorola products. I can't even find anything on a forum search, at least not with a brief search... God only knows what I'd find here if I looked for 2 hours.

Anyone here know of a product that fits the bill? I don't really care whether it uses BT or plain old wires, though of course the former would be nice.

Thanks,
Goat

Thanks for a great tutorial. I still have some odd problems- a lot of random modem failures, and a lot of flaky gprs coverage (even when it says it's there), but I successfully got to the internet today.

My laptop recognizes my mpx220 as a standard 33.6kbps modem, and while downloading a test file I was getting about 38kbps. Is anyone doing better than this? If you are, are you doing anything differently?
