Worse. I forgot to mention that the XV6700 has Bluetooth 1.2 which
should have AFH (adaptive frequency hopping) which should prevent the
problem. However, I'm not sure if it's RF self-interference or the
CPU running out of horsepower that's causing the problem. It could
also be my Plantronics BT-3000 headset. Oops, the BT-3000 is only
Bluetooth 1.1. I'll try it with a BT 1.2 or 2.0 headset.

Your notebook also doesn't try to share the same antenna with
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. I think (not sure) the XV6700 does. Checking:

Sigh. The internal photos PDF appears to be fatally damaged.
However, there are some internal photos mixed in with the external
photos. Looks like 3 separate antennas for CDMA, BT, and WiFi.

See page 6 of 9.
However, it appears that they changed to a different antenna in a
later version:

I can't see the WiFi antenna so I'll guess(tm) that it's a common BT
and WiFi antenna.

Features and functions get added faster than bugs get fixed. The
inevitable result is a bloated buggy mess.

Customer tested quality?

Of course. Call it an undocumented feature or "wireless streaming
media ready".

I think you saw the web page I scribbled just for setting up the
XV6700. It was a messy ordeal, even with the documentation. The
supplied documentation was tolerable, but for the previous firmware
version. I had to update from bits and pieces from all over the
internet. I don't think a non-geek could do it successfully.
If it were too easy, it would be no fun.
If the product were any good, it wouldn't need documentation.
