I have a USB wired earpiece that I used with my last phone (moto razr) it had much superior sound to the one that came with my curve. Any possibility that this can be made to work? I tried connecting it to the USB port but no luck. Is there a setting to change?

Thanks

There is no support for USB ear pieces on a Blackberry.

Buy a mating plug at Radio Shack & get a geek with a soldering iron to figure out how to adapt your headset & it might work - or might not. A USB headset incorporates (usually in the plug) an analog/digital translator & some code to let it be recognized by the system as an audio device.

Ok, thanks for the replies. No chance and move on with life.

So if the USB isn't supported what's a decent 3.5mm earpiece? Not thrilled with the one that came with the curve. Volume seems to go up and down randomly during calls.

Time to upgrade to a bluetooth

I have a blue tooth, actually 2 of them a plantronics 640 and a 655 both work well but I don't leave either of them on all the time and sometimes it's nice to be able to pop in the wired one if a call goes longer than expected.

Hence the request for a good wired 3.5mm earpiece
