That's correct. I think they went with the smaller size jacks (2.5mm) back in the day when phones were getting smaller and thinner. Then when phones and PDAs merged into smartphones, they got bigger again and the trend was to put in standard (3.5mm) headphone jacks.

Even now, currently made non-smartphones still use the smaller 2.5mm jacks. It's a shame, but such is life.
