Does Windows Phone support external mic?

[WPUser3]

Is it possible to use external mic that's connected to a headphones jack for video recording? Will it override internal mic once plugged in? I know that it's possible with iphones not sure about windows phones.

I've tried using Olympus ME-51S stereo mic on my HTC 8x but it doesn't seem to override the internal mic.

Windows Phone as far as I know supports external mics. However, you need to keep in mind that most products, even if they're not labeled as such, support the iPhone.

You could try something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fiio-LU1-Ad...ag=hawk-future-21&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU2319010

See if you can find it cheaper of course.

Is this true! I was under the impression that WP didn't support external mics for video recording. Has anyone else been able to make it work?

thanks all for responses! I just emailed HTC support to see what they say... my guess this is a limitation of WP platform.
