Hi Guys,
I have a bluetooth headset from ericsson and wifi built into my
laptop. I have not found any interference whether i have my headset and
phone near the laptop or not.
I have noticed that when on a call and a microwave oven is on the bluetooth
starts to go haywire but not the laptop.

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.
