Bluetooth power

Had my '600i for about 2 months now and must say it's an awsome phone.
A couple weeks ago I began to notice that BT performance seems to be suffering quite a bit. Most of the time I am getting serious interference when my body or even just my arm is between the phone and headset to where it is almost unusable.
Anyone else been having issues with this? The problem remains the same with BT powersave mode on or off. Been using HS850, H500, and Plantronics 320 Explorer.

I must say I have experience a similar situation, just not as drastic. When I first started using my Sony bluetooth headset I could have my phone anywhere within 30 feet and get crystal clear sound, even around the walls of my home. Recently, about 2 months later, I have noticed I still get clear sound as long as my phone is in plane view, and it can't be in my pocket as it could be in the past. If I have it in my pocket I get a small static sound constantly until I pull it out of my pocket. I don't have a reason as to why as my headset still seems to function as normal.

I had my w600 for about 3 months and it started doing the same thing. It slowly got worst. It got to the point where I could not have the phone more than 6" away from the headset before I was not able to hear anything.
Luckily, I work at Cingular and I won the phone in a contest and Sony replaced it for me for free. I don't know if there is any way to get it fixed without replacing it. If you have cingular service and the phone is not physically damaged, you can call warranty at 800-801-1101 to get it replaced for free.
