Hmm, this is the first I've heard of *something* fixing the GSM buzz issue.

Joerg (or anyone else that might know): Would just desoldering the mic part of 
the jack also fix the problem?  Assuming I can eventually get a bluetooth 
headset working, I don't anticipate ever using the headset jack for anything 
other than listening to audio; so, I don't need the mic part.
