Using tips provided here, I learned that the Motorola ROKR had a jack like that on the Pearl. I went into a Cingular store and was told they were out of the ROKR headphones. They told me I should go to a mall kiosk where I could probably find something that would work. I did and paid $19.95 for some knockoff version of the ROKR type stereo headset\mic the vendor probably purchased for $4 or so from an asian manufacturer. The great thing about a headset\mic setup which uses all the Pearl's capabilities is that if you are listening to music on the media player and an email or sms is received, you hear the sound you set up with your profile for that item. The music is basically muted. Same thing with ringtones. Also, you can carry on a conversation, and when you hang up, the music comes back on. Pretty cool.
The sound quality does not match my Sennheiser headphones, but I get the whole integrated package. I will only use it when I want to listen to music and talk on the phone. Most of the time I will use my BT headset.
So if you don't want to order from an online source, hit the mall. You'll probably find something that works.
