Update.. I tried removing the HF850 from BT settings.. while leaving
my HS850 earset in the system (with Hands free checked on this one)...

The problem still persisted.

If I unchecked "hands free" from the HS850 headset.. the problem went
away..

Finally, removing all BT car kits/headsets.. ie: HS850 and HF850
would eliminate the lockup issue (same as unchecking "hands free" i
suppose)..

Quite troubling.. as I obviously need to be able to use hands free
devices at times.

So this may not be directly related to the HF850 car kit, but to any
(motorola?) hands free device?
