Motorola SLVR L7c

Me n my partner both have the SLVR L7C (through verizon) & noticed one big flaw on the phone: We discovered that we can only use the bluetooth feature, if our 1gb microsd card is not inserted in the phone. The phone will "discover" the bluetooth device (wireless headsets, in our case), but the phone hangs when we attempt to "connect" it to the device. I take the 1gb memory out of the phone, and the bluetooth connection works again like a champ! This happened on both our SLVR L7C phones, so I can't see this as just an isolated problem; more like a limitation from L7C. When the 1gb microsd is inserted, the phone can read and verify its size, with zero issues. It can store and transfer files (back n forth) w/ the phone's built-in 20mb memory. SO BOTH WORKS FLAWLESS, as long as you don't attempt to connect via bluetooth, while the external memory is installed; external memory feature somehow overrides the bluetooth capabilities... and I care more about the bluetooth feature!
Has anyone experienced the same issue with their L7C? Is there a fix, or am I stuck with an internal 20mb cramp space, for bluetooth preference?
