hey~ bambadoo~ I just got my X10i today and I was having the same N97 issue as you had... BUT~~I think I found the solutions to make it work (just to make the voice right..do'nt expect the controller because N97 doesn't have the same function as iPhones)~~ IT'S VERY TRICKY... 1. The major issue for X10i not working on N97 is that either N97 is too smart or too stupid to recognize X10i as a "phone microphone" but shows "TV-out connected" on the small icon upper right-hand corner...I guess that's the stupid part...^^" 2.If you just connect X10i to N97 normally, then it will always recognize it as "TV-out" 3.Here comes the TRICKY PART I :JUST insert the connector partially(stop around the "2nd black line" on the connector), so that N97 can't recognize what kind of device it is. 4.Be the mean time, N97 will ask you to choose a category for the device that is connecting to N97. 5.Choose "Headphones" then insert the connector. 6.That should solve half of the problem beacuse as you said " I have to press and hold the mic button down to have decent sound." it still happens. 7.You need to hold the mic button because I believe you insert all the way down as I was. 8.Here comes the TRICKY PART II:pull out the connector from the bottom about 0.1cm, then you should be able to hear a clear and wonderful sound from X10i without holding the mic button~ I've check the process many times and it works all the time for me, so you should be fine if you repeat what I said~ feel free to forward or post on other forums with reference, if you see anyone is having the same N97 issue~ Enjoy~ btw, I love X10i~~ it's the best headphone I've ever had so far~
