I have a V3i too, and it pairs just fine. Actually, we ordered this 
phone precisely because we got these problem reports with it. I heard 
that there's a bug in some motorola phone firmware versions when doing 
an SDP service search attribute request (which is what IT-2006 does). 
Though that doesn't quite explain why it works on 2005 for you. You 
might want to try to get a firmware update for your phone and see if it 
solves the problem.

The problem should also go away with future versions of our software 
when the UI starts completely using the BlueZ D-Bus API. This is because 
bluez will do an SDP service search request and then a separate service 
attribute request which apparently should work fine with these buggy 
phones.
