Maybe I'm just a bit thick...

.... but I've had my Nokia 6230 for about a month now, and I've only just
worked out how to properly wear the headset that comes with it.

At first, I just wore it like a normal pair of headphones, and I was a bit
confused by the fact that the microphone hung somewhere about on a level
with my navel, which didn't really seem to be the right place for it, also
the whole thing felt unwieldy, and kept catching on things when moving
around.

Anyway, I worked out that if I put it over my head, so that the little
plastic spacer was at the back of my neck, the microphone was then at the
top of my chest, and it just seemed to feel a lot more comfortable. The
spacer takes the weight of the microphone and stops it pulling the 'phones
out. All together much better.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else hadn't caught on
yet...

Cheers,

ChrisM.

btw, in my defence, although I've had the phone for a week, I've only tried
wearing the headset a few times... (OK, poor excuse.)

to sort out simple solutions" ;-)

quote.

Because the phone needs the cable of the headset as antenna!

It must be possible to adapt a pop-port connector so that it just has a
little wire sticking out that works as an aerial. Having done that, I don't
know if it is possible to use a bluetooth headset to play radio over. (Don't
know if the quality would be good? - its a lot easier to compress voice than
music)

MP3 music plays horrible over the HDW-2 headset...
