Smack my MP3 player up: The Ministry gets edgy

Crave The Ministry's second offering is an integrated headphone and MP3 player system. For now, the integrated headphone/MP3 player unit is quite a bulky-looking thing -- not heavy enough to rip your ears off, but they'll give them a workout.

Levis RedWire DLX Jeans: Integrated iPod trousers

Crave As an added bonus, the player's headphone socket is extended through the trousers (because headphone cables just aren't long enough to reach all the way down to your waist) and a docking cradle houses the iPod in your pocket.

Crave HTC Touch HDThe first touchscreen phone to catch our eye is the incoming HTC Touch HD that boasts some truly mouth watering features including a large 3.8 inch VGA screen, a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Nokia N79: Sgt Pepper's lonely, hearts quad band

Crave The meagre 50MB of internal memory can be expanded with up to 8GB microSD cards for playback of MP3, WMA and AAC music files through the 3.5mm headphone socket (yes, Sony Ericsson, a standard headphone socket).

Sony Ericsson W705 Walkman: Socket to me

Crave It's just a shame that, once again, it's a music phone with no headphone socket. Proprietary headphone sockets are like flashers: no one wants one anywhere near them, and we're yet to give a flasher a good review.

Hands-on with the Nokia 5320 and 5220 XpressMusic phones

Crave Another good move was the decision to shift the native 3.5mm headphone socket to the bottom of the handsets, as opposed to the side-mounted design seen on the N95, for example. However, both handsets are certainly a step in the right direction for...

Crave Indeed, our only disappointment with it is the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which means you can't plug in a standard pair of headphones. This ugly port triples up as USB input, charger and headphone socket (boo!

Crave We believe it also has a 3.5mm headphone socket, but we've been unable to confirm that at the moment. Its 240x320-pixel screen complements a 2-megapixel camera, 2.5mm headphone/TV-out socket, and 32MB of internal memory which is expandable to a...

Crave You've got to use a crappy, proprietary adaptor to fit your decent headphones into the crappy, proprietary headphone socket. As we see with every Sony Ericsson Walkman, there's no proper headphone socket.

Sony Ericsson W910i: You've got to shake it to make it

Crave We do have a few issues with the W910i, including the 2-megapixel camera on the back, which we think is below par for a cutting-edge phone, and the lack of a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack -- something we hope to see become standard on Walkman...

Inovix IMP-5500 IPocket: faking it

Crave The second tragedy happened when we discovered the IPocket uses a non-standard headphone socket, making it impossible to attach headphones. Why save 1mm on the headphone port at the expense of a standard headphone connector?

Crave There's also no 3.5mm headphone socket -- you need to use a bloody annoying proprietary adaptor. Just look at that ugly proprietary headphone socket. It's our favourite Walkman phone along with the W890i.
