I also having problems with the 8830. Blue Tooth continues to disable itself without apparent cause. I have it paired to both a Motorola H700 and my Lexus RX330 factory installed system. I never had any problems with my Motorola Razor but this new Blackberry has a issue. I have to reset it from disable to enable numerious times throughout the day. Both Blackberry and Verizon are perplexed and are blaming it on a software problem and claim that they haven't heard of any other complaints. Verizon went so far as to send me a corded headset at no charge.
I'm also seeing this problem on mine. I lose pairing with my bluetooth headset when the units are only 3 feet away and also having to restart the bluetooth on the 8830 multiple times throughout the day. This only recently started happening though, maybe the past week or so.
Oddly enough, I'm not sure what your setting on this is mvrap, but I have noticed that when my blue led indicator for the Bluetooth is on, then I have not had to reconnected my headset nor reenable the bluetooth on the BB 8830. Somethign to try?
I have the same issue with my Land Rover. I have tried everything. After I gave up last week it seems to work everytime I get into the car. I have no idea as to why it now works but had not been working for months.
I'm on BES, and I have an IT policy that requires a device password and content protection. But I don't see anything in any of my security screens that refers to bluetooth. So I can't say if that makes a difference or not. And I don't have another bb handy to try to transfer to.
If you have a help desk, call and ask them. One of my third party apps quit working last year. I traced the problem back to a new firewall policy. After some discussion, the IT guys opened it back up. You have nothing to lose.

I'm wondering if the IT crowd at work may have something done with it, is that possible I wonder??
