If you need multiple microphomes you should check out Electronic Goldmine

Cell phone microphones are very tiny and may be sufficiently small to 
effectively be a point for the application.  Some of them have surprisingly good 
frequency response and flatness.  Try taking some from old phones and see if 
they work for you.
