I use a Nokia HDS-3 headset. It is inexpensive and provides decent
sounding stereo with the 6620's MP3 feature. You can install the OGG Vorbis
player if Realaudio program that comes on the phone doesn't suit you. I
use a 1GB A-Data MMC card without any problems. Have fun.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips.

How is the comfort of the hds-3? I find the Nokia mono sets a bit
uncomfortable with the over-ear design and prefer earbuds. Is the hds-3 the
war-on-head type or an earbud design?

Thanks,
Shane

The HDS-3 headset uses earbuds. It also has a microphone that is worn like a
necklace to use for handfree phone conversations. It is comofrtable and
works well from my end and people I call (or who call me) say it sounds
fine from their end as well -- even when I am outdoors.
