hey everyone i bought a bluetooth headset(pantronics explorer 300 i thnk) the other day and i brought it back because of like static noises i get in it when im close to the phone or not even that far. so i bought another one which is a bit better better(jabra 250v) i still here these noises when using it. so i tried it on a razr and you can hear perfectly clear through it even when far away from it. so my question is....is the bluetooth on the ppc good or not really because i think that is why even when the phone is near i have to shift the phone to the same side of my body where the headset is to kind of get rid of the static like noises? i hear perfectly clear when im not using it or when im using the headphones that came in the box. im really getting fustrated by this expensive phone. can someone please help?

It is normal to hear static with any BT headset when the headset is not in the line of sight. If your body is between the headset and the PPC you will get static so keep the headset and the PPC on the same side of your body. I hope this helps

I've found the BT to be pretty good static-wise on the ppc. You sure the headset is fully charged before you started using it?

I paired it first. the only time I don't hear the popcorn noise is when I put the phone over my headset I don't hear nothing but in my pocket on the same side as the bluetooth I still hear it.

I've had different bluetooth with very little static. I could walk to the other side of my room and not hear static. I'm thinkin the older 6700's have problems everywhere

My bluetooth works great on my PPC. I have not had any issues with it. I use a Jabra bt500 and also a Plantronics Voyager 510. I switched to the Plantronics just because it was a lighter headset and didn't make my ear hurt.

I only had this phone for anout a month....and I don't understand I think its defective...I might as well go along with it till it breaks or something and I have to get another.

Both of my 6700 had defective bluetooth units in them. I could never get A2DP to work, and the range & clarity were horrible. These bluetooth problems with the 6700 were happening from the get go. It is more "luck of the draw" then anything else with the BT on the 6700.
