Problem with 5800 and Sony BT20NX

Hi All

I have recently upgraded to a Nokia 5800 from an LG Viewty.

I use a Sony BT20NX bluetooth headset, and while the sound with the 5800 is pretty good, the sound keeps dropping out (as if the connection is lost for a few seconds).

This happens when I'm doing other things on the phone, which I can perhaps understand, but also when the phone is otherwise idle and in my pocket. The problem doesn't occur with the wired headset, so I assume it's a bluetooth problem. My Sony headset worked fine with the Viewty.

Is it just a compatibility issue? And if so can anyone recommend a bluetooth stereo headset (in-ear(s)) style that has good sound quality and will work with the 5800?

Thanks
Butthead

People are happy with the Nokia BH-103 sound quality (see Amazon) at the reasonable price. I tested it briefly with Nokia 5800 and audio playback was good and I could phone with it too. I don't know why Nokia does not list the BH-103 officially as compatible with the 5800, maybe some finer phone functions do not work. Audio quality of the Jabra BT-3030 is good and with 3.5mm socket other earphones can be used but I can't find any tests done with the 5800.
