Before anyone asks I've not seen any problems with 802.11b, only a little increase in the noise floor when bluetooth is active with 3 devices, 2 doing transfers. None of my 802.11b transfers were even slowed down.I have an interesting story to report, but no throughput numbers or anything...
I have a 2.4GHz wireless video sender/receiver (baby monitor), as well as 802.11b, and now Bluetooth (in addition to the microwave). The biggest problem I've seen so far is that *everything* seems to interfere with the video link. The microwave is by far the worst (well, it is an 800 watt transmitter, right?), rendering the picture completely unusable. 802.11b and Bluetooth both cause visible (though different) interference; I think I can even tell the difference between them.
I have not noticed any specific problems between Bluetooth and 802.11b, though I have to admit I've not done much with Bluetooth beyond initially configuring it and attempting to use it for Internet access until I found out that it won't reach to most places where I wanted to use it (like my kitchen, family room, and bedroom). <sigh>
One thing I don't have (and thus can't see what it looks like on the TV) is a 2.4 GHz phone. I specifically bought a 900 MHz phone because I wanted to avoid the problems I've heard with those interfering with 802.11b.
