BA's BT headset quality is sh*t, after all

[braver]

So I owned my BA since 2005 and tried all ROM/radio/BT upgrades and now am at xplode's ROM and 1.15 radio and 1.39 BT, still can't keep BA farther than a foot away from my headset. Static just kills any conversation on the street. I come to think it's the hardware, and as such, it's unfixable. This is so far the reason that I don't use my BA as a phone anymore -- I'd rather keep it in sync with my Mac, and also sync up my Nokia, via Missing Sync. If I happen to have a contact I need on the Nokia, I can beam it from the BA via BT. Of course, SMS is the main reason to prefer BA, but I'd rather have a solid headset connectivity. I also didn't like it under WM2003SE when the phone had to be rebooted during a call. Overall, I'm afraid, we'll just have to move on to WM Phones with more solid BT headset connections, or -- better yet -- to iPhone.
