I bought a US$2.00 3.5mm adapter for my K800, and I don't think I've ever owned anything that costing me only that much gave me so much satisfaction. Now, not only do I listen to all my music from the phone in the car, via a cassette adapter (US$6.99 at Radio Shack), but another trip to radio shack today produced a 3.5/RCA cable that allows me to connect it directly to my sound system!!! Also bought a 3.5mm to RCA adapter without cables for the TV in my room, so I can listen to the phone music while browsing the picture cds (Just hooking the Red/White audio connectors to the adapter while leaving the Yellow video connector in place). No more silent CD photo slideshows for me, hehehe I fully recommend this as the best possible CHEAP investment you can make if you upgrade your K750 to W800 firmware. Happy camper here!

Here's my phone hooked up to my stereo:



Here's the adapter up close:



And here are the other purchases I made in Radio Shack (This picture was taken with the phone itself, hence the different quality):

I bought a few of these from hong kong when they first became available, then a few uk shops and ebay sellers sold them, but 2 bucks is certainly the best price I've seen for this added flexibility!

I bought it on ebay, the cost of the thingie was US$1.99, the shipping was $5.99, but it was so delayed over the holidays that both the seller and I thought it was lost and he refunded me the payment via paypal. Then it arrived, surprinsingly, and I contacted him and offered to repay him in full but he said only to pay for the adapter via paypal, for my trouble. Terribly nice of him, and again, best two dollars I've ever spent. Even the original US$8.00 that it would've cost me would've been amazing for all the enjoyment I'm getting out of it!
