What sort of speed does this give you? Is it actually good enough for
VoIP over Bluetooth IP to be practical? If I didn't mind plugging in
the USB cable, but I did want a decently fast connection, would I
prefer to install updates/new software to my Neo with Bluetooth or
USB?

People have mentioned interference between Wifi and Bluetooth: Is this
an insuperable problem, or can I make one or the other operate on a
different channel/frequency, seeing as I control both network setups?
(My laptop is my only computer with Bluetooth, and it's usually
connected via Wifi.)

(Sorry if this has been covered before.)
