I think the problem I was having with the Bluetooth microphone quality might have been my phone, oddly enough. It was a crappy Motorola that I couldn't wait to get rid of. I just got a new Samsung Ace and people are noticing better quality on my calls in my car- enough that I think it made a significant difference.
Anyway, while Cross and Fire, the forum bears, came to visit last week they checked out my 980BT and liked what they saw!
