Sony Ericsson Magic Word Cell Phones

We do not recommend any of the "W" series or similar phones with music player capabilities that comes with a stereo headset.  Sony Ericsson changed the butt plug connector without documenting and there are no adapters available yet on the market yet that allow these phones to be used with universal headsets and similar accessories such as the iTalk system.
