Tungsten W & hands free head set

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I have a Palm Tungsten W, with built in cell phone. I bought the PDA used,
so it did not come with a "head set" for the phone.

I've tried to find an "over-the-ear" hands free head set, but so far,
nothing explicitly states that it/they works with the Palm Tungsten W.

Does anyone know of a over the ear hands free ear piece that actually
works?

Thanks

The T|W used a not very common 4-way plug and jack for the headset which
includes a press-button in the microphone housing. Try Googling for Palm W
headset. There are also stub adapter cables, with a 4-way plug for the
Palm, a press button, and a 3-way jack to allow you to use a standard
headset.

Use Nokia 8210/8310 over ear headset.

Thanks to those that answered. I found an adapter that works, and it's
great.

Many thanks again

Not a problem.. Looking at the email receipt, I see;

www.cellphoneshop.net

Earwrap Handsfree With On/Off Button For Nokia 82xx, 83xx Series.

Though the on/off switch doesn't work, which is no big deal. I now have
functioningpda/phone.
