yes it can , u have to make a adapter cable just like Ngage audio cable then u will be able to listen to it,
but the sound quality is not that good as it's in mono.

can you switch to stereo as seen as there is more than one speaker in headphones? Thanks

No, there is no stereo sound features (whatever electronics or software it requires) in the phone.

I thought you could listen to certain sounds in stereo w/ a stereo BT headset (apparently the only way). Are you sure you can't? Since a lot of the features nokia advertises are software not hardware.

A headset doesn't generate the stereo sound or otherwise; it just reproduces it, if connected to a device that does.

A device that can produce or reproduce stereo sound must have both the software and hardware that separates the left and right channels to different leads/connectors.

As there is only one mono audio output channel, with this phone, at most, you can get the same mono sound in both left & right earpieces. That's all.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Is that something that a firmware update could change, or is the output channel hardware?

What is the sound quality like? Is it just like listening to a cd or something? And can you transfer full songs to the 6600 and listen to them through mono heaphones?

Just because there is more than one speaker doesn't mean it's stereo. It's still mono sound, just identical sound going through both speakers (no panning etc). However, I've tried using a 3.5mm stereo to 2.5mm mono adaptor, and it kind of works... problem is: speaker volume is still on, and after awhile it says "Enhancement not supported".
