OK, so here's another "weird" thang. The headphone jack on the SL6000 is a 2.5mm, not a 3.55mm which is the internationally recognized freakin' standard. I guess you could pound it in with a ball peen hammer, which I'm tempted to do, but there is an adapter available. Apparently the Treo 600 uses the same f****d up size, so here's a link to the stupid thing. Aaaarrrggghhhh !

Uh oh, this reminds me of the sound issue with the Palm Tungsten C. It was the first Palm PDA with integrated WiFi. I bought one, but then I found out that the "headphone" jack is actually a 2.5mm "headset" jack which is designed for mic and MONO sound, like most standard cellphones have (meant for VOIP, etc.). Palm's reasoning was that this is a "business tool". For that unit, adapters to standard 3.55mm headphones would give MONO sound only, coming out of two speakers. The users were incredulous, but in the end we all found that our units were incapable of producing stereo sound. Needless to say I returned mine, as MP3's/movies are important to me.
Are you sure the 6000 is stereo capable? Hopefully Sharp wouldn't do something as stupid as Palm did. QUOTE OK, so here's another "weird" thang.
