Question about MP3 playback

I do not own this phone, but I'm curious about the headphone jack. A 3.5 headphone jack is a missing feature on the spec list, it only has a 2.5 jack. Does this mean I can use any universal 2.5 handsfree headset for the MP3 player? Or do I have to have a special pair of headphones w/ a 2.5 mm jack to listen to the MP3's. Also, I'm pretty sure the bluetooth wont do music playback...only handsfree use for voice calls. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Also, a separate question...I know that the bluetooth is crippled and doesnt allow OBEX...does this count for only sending files? For example, if I'm interested in sending a ringtone or a picture TO the e815 from another phone w/ full bluetooth...will that work?

You can use a regular cell phone headset for MP3 playback, but with only one earplug, you won't be listening in stereo. For that you will either need one of the new stereo cell phone headsets with a 2.5 plug, or a stereo adapter to go from 3.5 down to 2.5. They have these at places like Radio Shack for a couple of bucks. The adapter I have only transmits stereo sound from the phone to the earplugs and not sound from a mic as well back to the phone, and is a bit awkward at the plug. I'll be getting a 2.5 stereo headset soon.
