bluetooth problems...

Hi Everyone

When I use my phone with bluetooth - the party at the other end of the call tells me that i sound gargled and distant and broken up - even when i see i have 5 bars. When i turn the phone off Bluetooth and talk normal into the phone itself, they tell me i sound perfect and to just talk into the phone rather than use bluetooth /speaker.

What do i do? Take the car in? What can MB manhattan tell me? Is there something I can do to fix this? I like the conveniance of being able to blast the radio and then get a call.....

Phone was a Slvr motorola, now i am using the blackberry pearl.

Same here! I had a Razor, now a Blackjack. No one can ever hear me. My friend just got a new S550 last week, and his works...perfect. Maybe they fixed something? All I know is that I am HUGELY upset, as I am on my phone all day long.

SAME SAME HERE! Can you ask your friend exactly what he has done - because surely it must be different from us?

The people on the other end of the line cant hear a word i say! I too am on the phone all the time and now starting my own business and i need a working phone more than ever..... I once brought this to the attn of mb manhattan and they felt it was probably the module... but that cant be.

I heard others say that its due to the metallic coating on the windows - but wouldnt that mean my cell phone wouldnt work either way (connected to BT or not) ?

Thoughts?
