On BlackBerryForums, one of the most popular threads these days discusses the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 adapter solutions that can work, with stereo headphones and 3.5mm jacks. This thread is entitled, 2.5mm (male)-> 3.5mm (Female) 8100?
BES Admin started this thread for people who have headphones and are only looking for an adapter to use with their stereo headsets or speakers.
He recommends the Sedio ADA3-XDA325M35FC (AUDIO ADAPTOR WITH BUILT-IN MICROPHONE AND ANSWER BUTTON (2.5MM MALE JACK TO 3.5MM FEMALE JACK) .
"This adapter worked like a champ," BES Admin writes of the $15.95 adaptor "The microphone is very good, picked up my voice from a distance as my BB was sitting in front of me on my desk while I worked."
Just one more thing: if any of you have found this post via a search performed for other reasons, well, take a cold shower.
1. Yes, tested and verified. This seidio adaptor is originally designed for some of the PocketPC units, but it works well on the Pearl.
