Static on bluetooth headset on iPhone

Over the last day I have been getting static over my Plantronics 610 headset. Thinking it was the headset, I switched headsets to a Plantronics 645 and still got the static. Based on this, I guess it's not the headset, but the iPhone. Does anybody else have this problem?

*:: UPDATE 2 ::*

😟 It appears as if it is an iPhone problem after all. As you recall, when we last left this issue I had a replacement Jawbone shipped to me. Well, the replacement worked fine for a day or two but now my connection is back to its old static-y self.

I'm hoping that the iPhone 1.1.4 (or 2.0!) update will fix it. I'm getting really tired of holding my iPhone up to my bluetooth headset so that I can talk. 😟

Let us know if a couple of days how the static situation is. From my experience it works for a while and then starts dropping parts of the conversation and has quite a bit of static on the line. The remedy for this is to hold your iPhone within 5" of your headset. Of course you might just as well get rid of the headset at that point and use the iPhone directly. :/

The iPhone is an amazing device - as long as you don't want to talk on it. 😉

Perhaps like Icarus, I have risen too high, for now, in the rapture of the iPhone stratosphere I must certainly be suffering from solar flares or something. In other words, this static is a *****.

On 1.1.4 since 12/2007; BT (Apple, Model MB162LL/A) since 2-3 weeks ago. No problem at all for 1.5 weeks, then 1 day of static rendering it completely unusable (really really really bad static). Convinced this was some local evil, some nefarious interference generator on a similar frequency, I kept my cool. I didn't use it for a day. And, voila! It worked again. Certain the sprites were banished (and not, of course, knowing of this thread at all), I lived in a bliss characteristic of my usual ignorance. And three days ago, fubar again. And no amount of toggling (BT, Airplane mode, reset, etc.) affords reprieve. And its not like I dropped it in the toilet or anything. I've been very nice, actually. One would hope for reciprocity. One would hope.

Maybe I should just flush it. The iPhone or the BT unit, that is the question.

Help.
