Not sure, i'd keep an eye on mobile fun to see when they've got them in stock.

£22 is a bad price. I might get one when its released.

SE should bundle this with the next generation of  phones. Pity if they didn't. Otherwise, I'll have trouble getting one in Australia.

Does anybody know if the remote on the HPM-82 is connected to the headphone cable or the cable connected to the socket? You can't really tell by the pictures from SE... Cos it would be really silly if I couldn't use the remote with my own headphones.  |

I think it's similar to the HPM 70 but between the mic/button and the connector is the actual remote. |

I really don't see the advantage of the HPM-82 over the HPM-70 - how much of an advantage is the remote anyway? The media player is as easily controllable from the phone itself.
(Had there been some cool LED displays and stuff a-la the W900's headset, then fashion would have overtaken logic, and I'd have got myself one  )

Well the remote makes it easier to control playback. It's the little things that matter. mcuh easier than unlocking the phone etc.

I like the HPM-65 with the ear hooks.
looks like they dont 'plug' all the way in to the ears and the hooks are great when moeing the lawn or out with the dog (personally I don't like to listen to music while exercising... a soundtrack for torture is not appealing  )

With the HPM-70 and W800, I don't need to unlock the phone to skip tracks, play/pause, adjust volume, go to the previous/next track. |

@shaliron W series is already made special for music,you have the control buttons on the side of the phone,so unless you carry your phone in your backpack you shouldn't need those headphones,because you can reach to your pocket and even press the button through your clothes

K750 also has the music button, and the volume/track advance button (I thought all SE's with media players had these buttons, not just W series?)
I like the look of the remote, atleast it's smaller than the touch src jobbie. As others say though, it's pretty easy to advance/retard tracks, play, pause, and adjust volume using the phone by touch alone, so there seems no real advantage to the remote.
Actually, it would be usefull to me while riding, so I'll probably get it for that purpose, but otherwise I wouldn't use it often.

Though it's true that the remote seems unnecessary, but for folks like myself that keep the phone in a case where the buttons are not readily accessible, this is a must.
I use the newer MRH-200 remote with the K750 a lot, and I would like to be able to get a remote for my K790 (not yet sure if the MRH is compatible with the K790) and have the ability to switch track and adjust the volume without having to remove the phone from the case. |

i think they look pretty cool but i agree £22 for them seems a bit steep. im wanting to use my k800i more like a mp3 player tho so i might end up having to fork out for them. the ones i got with my k800i seem a little bit naff. will these ones with the remote still work as the radio transmitter? |
