Using HSCSD and IrDA, I can get connection speeds (when dialing up from my laptop via T610/T630) of 28K or so, but bluetooth is so much more convenient...
the sad thing is, I've never gotten speeds (dialing the same numbers, etc) via bluetooth better than 9600... And that's too slow to be any good. I know I should try GPRS, but with my carrier I need to sign up for i-mode to do it, and I haven't yet gotten the courage to go into a shop and tell them that I want an i-mode subscription with a non-imode phone, so for the moment it's got to be HSCSD.

Is 9600 just the limit? It doesn't make sense to me that bluetooth should be so much slower than Irda. I'm using a Belkin dongle plugged into a WinXP laptop.

TIA!
