Try setting bluetooth to power saving mode, should get a bit more speed with that.

Does speed has anything to do with USB v2.0 & USB v1.1. On my pc USB v1.1

What difference ?

Average values:
27 kb/s sending
42 kb/s receiving
with Silicon Wave Bluetooth Wireless Adapter made by Canyon (USB 1.1)
K850i was the SE's most superb phone. And failure.
Advanced to Android.

Not really, USB 1 has a speed of somewhere near 500kb/s, i don't know the exact speed so don't blame me if it's 300 or 700kb/s, it's just far enough for bluetooth.

well - i use a cheap v2.0 dongle from 7dayshop (about 10quid) and i get pretty fast for what i want really --- like at a guess i'd say around 60 - 100kbps (i have a treo 650 and v600i (slower on v600i by a long way - more like 40kbps))

anyway....it works at a good speed for what i want to use it for.

I was getting 16-20kbps with my V800 but now with the V630i I'm getting 38-45kbps! It makes a big difference when transferring themes and pictures.

BT is the only wireless method. Unless you have P990 with wifi, you're outta luck

I use BT for pics and themes etc, cable for music files or videos.

I still occassionally use irda
even if IR is not as fast as BT, for the odd one off transfer it doesn't require pairing and so can end up being a be a bit quicker
