WIP320 Compatible Headset?

<1 min read

I've posted the following on the Linksys Community Forum:

Has anybody been able to find a headset compatible with the WIP320? I have tried 4 or 5 of them, without any luck. I can hear fine but the mic is not working. Now, the specs states that he headset plug is a 2.5mm 4 segments, which could explain why none of the headsets I tried worked. But I have not been able to locate a 4 segments headset anywhere. I've talked to a Live Chat agent who suggested using a Plantronics M170, which is a 3 segment headset. I don't see how the M170 would work any differently than any of the headsets I tried. Thanks, E.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. I'm thinking I have a defective unit and probably should get it replaced.

I just noticed that the one I bought at the beginning of the month doesn't say iPhone on it…

Paul (of MoDaCo) and xda-developers have been asked to remove all links and screenshots to the iPhone Pocket PC skin.

I guess Steve wasn't kidding.

Let's hope Cisco is not kidding either. There's really nothing like getting a little taste of your own medicine.
