Sony Ericsson W610i Wired Handsfree.

Hi,

I've got a SE W610i. If I'm listening to the radio or the MP3 player via the
(wired) headset, and a call or text comes in, all that happens is that the
sound is blanked out. As the earphones are the type that plug right into
your lugs, it's not possible to hear the ringtones generated by the phone,
so without taking the phone out of my pocket and looking at the display, I
can't tell if its a phonecall, a text, or just a gap in the music...
On my old Nokia 6230, under the same circumstances, the phone cut the music
and played the ringtone down the headphones.
Anyone know if it's possible to set the SE so that it does this, rather than
just cutting the sound completely??

Hmm, reading that back, it sounds a bit confused, but hopefully someone will
know what I mean... :-)
