I have seen a youtube video that shows the person unboxing his stuff and he showed the 'adaptor' with the headphones that were in the box

mine didn't come with an adapter in the box... just saying.

They don't give you headphones. It's a headset, and it's got a USB mini plug so that it works with the G1.

You seriously thought they'd send out headphones that wouldn't plug into the phone?

Ah so that is how it works, well I knew that I saw something on youtube...however I will say I am a bit disappointed at the use of a mini usb rather then a standard 3.5mm jack.

To be fair, there's no room in the thing for another jack.

I dissagree with that. Theres always room. There isn't always $ to do it. v2 will have a headphone jack.

I agree that it is a dumb thing to leave out.

Look at the iphone that's a fraction of the thickness, that comes with a 3.5mm. Yeah,there is always room. I'm sure the gen 2 will get one. Either that or more compaies will make mini usb headsets. Regardless, I'll never trade my G1 foran iphone!

 

[pestilence]

Really, smart guy? Tear yours open and take a picture of where you'd put the jack...

You really can't compare it to the iPhone in that sense. The iPhone is designed to also act like an iPod (portable media player). That is not the case for the G1. They included a headset that can be used with the USB mini port. IMO, there should of been a flash for the camera which I find more important than the 3.5mm port.

Well that's the way HTC makes their hardware, not sure why, but I like the included headset.

I challenge anyone to shoe-horn a dedicated headphone jack in a G1:
