I've had my Curve for about 1 month now and i just dont get it, Bluetooth connectivity sucks! I've read post after post saying that their Bluetooth headset doesnt connect or is just staticy. I have tried 3 different bluetooth headsets, a Plantronics 520, an older Motorola and RIMs own HS-655 and nothing but static as soon as I put it in my pocket, the Plantronics actually worked for a week fine when I got it. I use a Motorokr S9 to listen to my music and this works just fine, I can walk 20 feet away no problem, so whats the problem here? Every other phone I've owned I just bought a Bluetooth headset and it paired, it was that easy. Is this a hardware issue with Blackberry's. or firmware. I have upgraded, downgraded firmware (os) and no luck. If anyone can give me the magic answer here I would appreciate it. I have cleared the IT policy so there shouldnt be anything blocking the connection, there is no way as far as I can tell to see bluetooth signal strengh is there?

I might just have to goto Best Buy and purchase every bluetooth headset they have until I find one that works.

Don't put the BT headset in your pocket, place it in your ear!

Really though, over the past 4 or 5 BBs, and as many BT headsets, different brands, I have never had a static-y earpiece. I am guessing the BB in your pocket could be the issue. For one, that is not a great place to keep your BB. Never had a problem with one pairing, either.

Haven't had an issue with my 8700,7290,8100 or 8800 except for one BT headset (forget which on). Except with the 8100 I get the same static if I put in pocket (don't do that often)

I get static when my pearl is in my pocket as well.

why would you put your phone in your pocket thats what they make holsters and clips for lol but no i had issues until i got this blue ant z9 and so far no issues at all

i had similar problems when i got my BB 8310... turned out to be a hardware problem, replaced device and all is perfect now!!

it's also what they make pockets for.

only if you like dust under your screen...

true true.

and pockets don't give you that much sought-after dork factor.
