This was written long after the purchase.It is required, overpriced, and a bit bulky but ya gotta have it.
They said it isn't on A but I was able to find this one from Sedio - ADA-25M35F - under Semco. Luckily, sprint techs gave me a break both times and replaced my phone for free.
I'm going to try something different but they do work, if only for a while. They only last a couple of months but I'm a very heavy user.
OK. I had 2 of them have adapter tips break inside my treo.
This works a lot better then the straight adapter I got at radio shack. Do not buy the straight 2.5-3.5 adapter (the one with no flexible wire).
I saw that someone had recommended the sedio adapter. So I'm going to give it a try.
Better get the type with a flexible cord. This L-shaped adapter can apply too much leverage on that little 2.5 mm jack.
If I were you, I wouldn't use it on a Treo 650 - except temporarily for testing purposes. Doesn't matter if it was made by Palm or not.
If you want to read more about this, just Google "treo jack". Frankly, the audio jack on the Treo 650 is a known weak point.
And it can break in a way that permanently silences the phone's built-in earphone. I you want a demonstration, go borrow an adapter, plug it in, and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Sure, that kind eventually gets flakey - but it's cheaper to replace an adapter than to get your phone repaired.
The adapter works perfectly in full stereo, not many complaints other than the size of the thing. I plan to be careful with it because it has quite a bit of leverage to be able to inflict major pain on my Palm Treo if bent or stressed.
It's a good product, but it's very big and with a bad move, it can broke the phone. Use it very carefully. I recomend to use a bluetooth stereo headset to avoid damage your Treo.
