W800i help needed.

englishpremier · 28 Feb 2006 at 15:50

I have a Sony Ericsson W800i, unfortunately I have lost both the ear phones, and the attachment that allows you to use hands free or connect ear phones or speakers. This basically makes my phone useless as an MP3 player.

I've searched around a few mobile phone stores but have been unable to find a replacement for this. Do any of you know where I can find the original replacement accessories I need?

Cheers.

Search for HPM-70, they shouldn't be too expensive for non-retail packed originals. Sold 5000 of them not too long ago , will probably be on eBay for about a tenner from Hong Kong

You'll be looking at £20 -30 from a retailer and £16 from Fleabay. The retailers are more than likely to have the newer ersion with the inbuilt neck strap/cable protector than Fleabay though.

May I ask where you got 5,000 sets of these from, how much did you get them for?

I sell accessories for a living - I sold for about £5, but now the going rate for these sort of quantities is about £7

Oh, I see. Whats your ebay username (if your allowed to post it) so I can have a look. Is it only mobile bits you sell? You buy for england or far east?

it arrived a few days ago, and it is an original all nicely sealed up and now works a treat. I'm impressed i thought it would cost me at least £15-17

As far as the W800i attachments go, I'm been sorely disappointed.

First, my (LAME LAME LAME) SE earphones broke, the devil spawned plastic neck thing caused one of the earpiece wires to wear away and cease to function. So I bout a Sony equivalent without the damned plastic thing.
Next, the actual plug cable went, wear around the plug to the phone. Bought a new one from the net for about a tenner I believe. That was about a month ago and it's just broken (plastic which keeps the plug firmly attached).

I'm not a happy bunny.
