Nokia 6102i & FM

The instructions for my 6102i say that to use the FM radio feature you
have to have an external headphone which also acts as the FM antenna,
similar to a walkman. But, I cannot find anything on the phone that
appears to be a headphone jack.

Does this mean that the headphone needs to be a special, and probably
over-priced unit that would use the multi-pin connector on the bottom of
the phone?

a couple of years ago for my now defunct 6260 bought on eBay out of HKG
a short adopter cable at a very low price. It was only about 6" long
and one end fit the multi-pins and the other the normal round jack
common to most headphones. In all probability such is still available.

My local Cingular store had a "Headset Adapter" which turned the multi-
pin connector into a 2.5mm female jack. To use it with standard iPod-
type phones you'd then need a 2.5-3.5 adapter.
