I've got a V551 (GSM, cingular) that I use with my Dell Axim X50v for internet access. The V551's EDGE performance leaves a LOT to be desired!

I'm looking for a phone with Class10 EDGE and bluetooth, and in particular am looking for phones with the highest efficiency/throughput capabilities when used for bluetooth DUN.

All other features aside for the moment, what phones are the best performers for BT tethering?

Thanks!

I've picked up a cheap, used Nokia 6230, which is a Class 10 Edge phone with BT. The one I got had a buggy firmware version(known problems), so I sent it off to iUnlock.com to have it reflashed to the latest stable firmware. I'm expecting it back on Wednesday.

I couldn't get it to stay connected long enough at a time to do a proper speed test (that firmware bug thing), but I've seen others who have achieved throughput in excess of 200k with this phone and the Axim X50v (my exact setup).

And, if I don't like it, I can slap a new outer shell on the phone and sell it at a profit on eBay.
