Help Blueant V1 incompatible?

[bill97024]

I just got my Optimus T a few days ago and it wasn't until yesterday that I first tried to use my Blueant V1 with it. I can hear other people okay, but they are saying I sound like I'm either underwater or in a wind tunnel. This V1 worked fine with my old Blackberry 8120, but it doesn't seem to play well with the new phone.

Things I've already tried:
- unpairing and re-pairing with the new phone
- resetting the V1 to clear out all old pairings and re-paired with new phone.
- Checked that the V1 has the most current firmware, v 5.3, it does.
- Checked that the phone has all of it's updates, it does.

Any thoughts or ideas what might be causing this?
Anyone else having issues with the V1?

Thanks for your input...I'm stumped.

Update 12/14/10: Well, I tried my old Jabra BT8010 and it does the same thing...grrr. It must be something about the phone itself. My girlfriend's Optimus T seems to be okay on her car's built in bluetooth, but for some reason on the earpiece mine is acting weird. Wifi and GPS are both off, so I don't think it's interference. It's maddening. I think I'm going to have to go back to a wired earpiece with this phone.

Well, I was able to replicate this problem on my girlfriend's phone as well when she set her phone down too close to the microwave (right on top of it actually...lol) while talking on her bluetooth earpiece. It seems like these phones are more succeptible to interference between the phone and the earpiece than others we have had before. It also happened while she was in her car but was talking to me on her earpiece instead of the car bluetooth. The only common thread I can find is that the phones must be picking up some sort of interference from other nearby electronic devices and it's affecting the connection between the phone and earpiece. I'm not sure how to solve it except to move the phone until the interference is minimized, but I think I have at least narrowed down what is probably causing this.

Cheers.
