So far, I got a quote for 500 (minimum order quantity) @ $2.11 each... for the "video" connector...

Going to contact SMK to see about getting a few for testing... :-)

When you go to Config, Audio, then Volume do you get all three of these?

I checked mine today, and it does have all 3 controls. So what would I have to do to get the phone working?

Most likely, it means that the hardware and software are both there, just have to be enabled. There are a few people looking into it more...

I finally had time to put together my USB cable for the Radio... will test it out later this week...

Later!

Quick radio question, will the radios play mp3 cd? I have a .wma cd that I listen to and it works fine but I'd like to make another cd but I dont want to go through the hassle of converting all my mp3's to .wma files again.

I did find that my Radio had issues with reading mp3 discs written using Windows Media Player...

CD's burned using iTunes worked just fine...

Haven't tried Nero yet...

Just made an mp3 CD (CD-RW) with 135 songs using iTunes and it works just fine (despite the owners book saying it can only read .wma files). *Confirmed*
