hi john:
usually i run with turned off but i did turn it on a few days ago in an effort to troubleshooting the problem. but just today i've managed to downgrade my bt firmware by combining some instructions i found on gpspassion forum. here's the link and what i posted there:
GpsPasSion Forums - Bluetooth downgrade on 760

many thanks to all on this thread. after a week of trying i have finally managed to successfully downgrade my nuvi 680 to the bt v2.4 firmware and my curve 8320 has stayed connected for 30 minutes--the longest time it has stayed connected in 2 weeks. usually it disconnects within a few seconds.
the reason it took so long for me to get this to work was that after i replaced the bt file the unit would not update the bt firmware automatically upon startup. i had to go into the speed screen and hold down the top center button (the moving avg display field--i swear i did that several days ago and it didn't work) but this time it dumped me into a series of diagnostic pages that i just hit 'next' on until i reached the bluetooth screen and hit the 'updt pr' button.
in other words, i had to combine the instructions posted by zx14ninja and sandlapper.
it's not perfect, i've had one brief disconnect, but i'll take whatever i can get until garmin and rim get their act together on this.
