I've never owned any non-WM devices that required that kind of sympathy.

This I really don't get. Somehow I find the current Bluetooth settings for handsfree kits pretty straight forward and simple. I too leave my BT headset on 24/7 if I can. But even if I have it on 24/7 there are times that I leave the BT headset in the car, on the charger, or in another room. I don't have any problems with it reconnecting when I'm within range. Have you ever thought that it might be the BT headset you're using which is not Windows Mobile firendly or simply of inferior quality? I use an old Bluespoon AX which is nearly two years old and it connects nicely to the Dopod 900 and 838, both tested with old and new ROMs without any problems whatsoever.
I don't reset my unit as often as Ed... I probably do a soft reset maybe once a month if ever. I run a fixed set of applications normally... a set of applications which I know and trust to perform well. Did you ever think of that as a contributing factor? People who know how to use Windows Mobile devices usually have a trusted set of applications they rely on. Another thing is that people who know Windows Mobile devices don't just get a device because they run on Windows Mobile... they also look at the company who made the device, finalized the ROM and if ever, what useless applications are preinstalled which hopefully can be removed.
Some Windows Mobile devices perform badly not because they run on Windows Mobile, it's because some users opt to install badly designed applications or in really bad cases, useless, memory hogging applications are added into the ROM over the standard Windows Mobile suite of applications by the ODM/OEM.
