OT: Motorola Speaker Microphone?
Posted: Sun May 31, 2009 8:15 pm
Hopefully this isn't considered too far off-topic, but we will see. I currently have a Motorola iDEN Nextel i580 that I use with a remote speaker microphone when I go horse back riding. I have a micro SD card with MP3 files on it and listen through the remote speaker microphone because I don't want both ears covered as I want to be able to hear ambient background noise. So far, so good, right? To through a monkey wrench in the whole thing, my wife has had it with iDEN and wants us to cut over to GSM. So I have focused on the Motorola Tundra VA76R because it looks to be rugged and water resistant. Anyway, since this also has an MP3 player and will accept a micro SD card, I would like to be able to use a remote speaker microphone with it, but there isn't a remote speaker microphone made for it even though it is a rugged, push to talk phone. So, I am trying to determine what would be the best way to configure something similar. I really am only concerned with the speaker part of this, not the microphone part. The Tundra has only a mini USB connector. Is there any such thing as a mini USB remote speaker microphone? Or, for that matter, even a mini USB remote lapel speaker? Or do I need to focus more on a mini USB to 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm adapter? And, also stereo to mono?
