T68i handset trouble

I have a Sony Ericson T68i. It has worked fine even though I drop it on a weekly basis for a few months now. The other night on my way home I used it in the car with my corded hands-free earpiece (my bluetooth was dead because I forgot to recharge it) and it worked fine.

I wake up yesterday and the phone is off which is weird because I put it on the charger turned on (I rarely turn it off). I turned it on and it had fully charged so I went about my day. Later that afternoon I went to use my corded earpiece again (forgot the bluetooth at home) and it didn't work. The phone works fine but for whatever reason it doesn't connect to the earpiece. Normally when I plug in the earpiece it says "Port H-Free" and changes to that devices profile. So I reset all the profiles to defualt and tried again, still nothing. Someone here at work has the same phone so we swapped earpieces, still doesn't work. I tried my Bluetooth headset on it, and it works fine.

Anyone have any suggestions?

My second question is, anyone know of a cheap (under $100 without signing a new T-Mobile contract) Bluetooth phone that gets decent reception and is compatible with iSync in Mac OSX?

Someone here at work has the T610 and it feels weird in my hand, to long and boxy. Anyone know anything about the T39m? They are going pretty cheap on Ebay and have an external antenna which the guys in tech services say makes the biggest difference.
