I recently reflashed my G2 with CyanogenMod3. Still works with my 335 like magic!

The "carrier mutilated Android ROM" differs from an unlocked phone in only one key respect - bloatware. All the phone companies install useless applications you can't remove, usually linked to extra cost services. None of that has any impact on bluetooth performance.

As for Samsung and Motorola "mutilating" the ROM, they also add nothing more than additional software. Samsung adds that ridiculous TouchWhiz interface, and Motorola adds what they used to call "motoblur." Again, none of this should impact on Bluetooth.

They may be more basic issues to how various companies implement Bluetooth, what profiles are active, etc.

In any case, I think the bottom line is, proceed with caution if you are going with an Android phone. They are clearly many models that are not compatible.
