I have not heard of the problem mentioned below in the context of these

Some have suggested that it's a simple to open and manually alter the
position of the springs.

I am a victim of that too, but I use a Tungsten T. Others in this newsgroup
(or another) have argued the same. It appears to be a widespread issue --
something with the contacts within the headphones jack.

It's got enough competition already. They ought to wake up, fast. I am
looking at the Nokia 770 from afar, having been a loyal Palm user for over 3
years.
