Headset for Nokia 6225

Hello. I have just upgraded from my antiquated mobile to a Nokia 6225. It
has an FM radio built in, and according to the handbook I should be able to
use it with the internal speaker. However it refuses to start without a
headphone connected. Can it really run on the internal speaker, or is a
headphone essential? Also, it appears to be a fairly standard 1.5 mm socket.
Is that the case, or is it needing some fancy (and probably expensive) Nokia
headphone? Thanks for your help.

You MUST have the headphones connected for the FM radio to work as it
uses it as an antenna. Once you have activated the radio you should
still be able to switch to the internal loudspeaker.

Thank you for your help. I was afraid of that, and I suspect it will be
quite pricey. I'll chech it out even so - you never know.

Any headset should work to enable the antenna, so even a cheap after
market one should do the job.

Thanks - I'm beginning to think it would be easier in the long run to
purchase one of thise ultra cheap little pocket radios and forget the phone
as one. Where I live there is only one loccal station that blankets other
further away ones unless you have a reasonably good radio, so the whole
thing might be moot anyway. Thanks again for helping.

the 6225 does require a special headset, I already tried the cheap,
generic types. http://www.nokiausa.com/nokia_access...224,50,00.html
