Headphone Issue
Unlike most phones that double as mp3 players, the T Mobile G1 will not have a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Other phones made by HTC, the producers of the T Mobile G1, also lack built-in headphone jacks and require an accessory such as a Mini-USB adapter, sold at additional cost, to play into standard stereo headphones.Limiting Data Usage
