Annoying problem

Yesterday when recieving incoming calls, I would be able to talk for about 5 seconds after answering, then the headset icon would appear on the phone, and the phone obviously thought a headset had been plugged in (which of course it hadn't).

I rebooted phone and problem was fixed, but again this afternoon I happened to look at the phone and see the headset icon up again! I rebooted phone again and it went away.

Very annoying since the phone has just come out of warranty. Anyone come across this before?

Dirt inside the headset connector (triggering whatever switch/sensor there is inside; or the switch/sensor is broken)?
