Want to listen to MP3's

5 replies · 2,446 views · Started 10 December 2003

I have been using my P800 to listen to MP3's as I'm sure many of you do happy for over a year but then the handsfree set that came with the phone broke. I always found this useful as it let me know when I was called.

Now have tried both the HRP-20 radio/handsfree set thinking that it would allow me to listen to MP3's which it doesnt. Also had a look into the standard HPB-20 which didnt seem to be a solution either.

Can someone help by suggesting an accessory I can use and if its specific or hard to find where I could purchase it in London.

Cheers

go around carphonewarehouse stores and ask them for spares, they have some usually due to the way they run their insurance policy, there's a thread covering this from a while back

As a last resort, there's also the Business Kit (IBK-20, or something like that) which comes with a case, spare styli and another handsfree. SE sell it in their eShop, as do expansys and a few other places.

Have been to a few carphonewarehouse stores today as suggested but with no joy. They said the only thing I can do is buy the buisness kit which I dont wanna do as its �30.

What thread was it before nk8?

Does anyone else have any ideas?

nahh, not the business kit, carphonewarehouse' insurance is that if the cell phone is absolutely buggered on the spot, they will just give you a replacement over the counter from a new box, which leaves all the accessories that came with the cell phone in the box still, in the back store room, so you just need to ask around a few local cpw stores to see who has them spare.

Ahh, so they dont give you a new phone with all the accessories then?

Ok, will try a few more but have tried all the ones nearby
