@Andy - I don't mind the 2.5mm jacks so much. As you say, they are standard, and you can pick up good (cabled) adaptors on Ebay for a few quid. I lose them only when the headphones they're attached to go missing, but I keep a couple of spares at home.
It's also useful to have them around, as a lot of my friends carry phones with 2.5mm jacks so if someone wants to choon up a nearby hi-fi at a party, I just lend them the jack and everyone's happy. Sometimes I even remember to get it back afterwards.
Worse is manufacturers using proprietry ports. I was disgusted at HTC when Orange sent me a Touch and I found it had some weird connector. HTC have always been so good at this.
Good thing I was intending to list it on Ebay and buy a 680 with the proceeds. Now I have a shiny red Treo with change for some decent Shure E2Cs. Happy as Larry (however happy he is...)
