Same thing if I put the iPhone down and walked a couple of feet away.
With both devices having Bluetooth 2.0, I was really disappointed. The interference should not have been that bad. Maybe it's the metal housing on of the iPhone?
I will wait for Apple's version. Hopefully it will be good.
My sister has the same problem with her phone. It has a lot of static when connected to her bluetooth headset. I don't have that problem on my iPhone and we tried it on several different bluetooth headsets. She got static on all headsets and I didn't get any. She's going to the apple store today to get it replaced since its definitely a problem with her phone.
