Bluetooth 2.0 or 2.0+EDR ???

---

Has someone tried the real bluetooth speed , for example when connected to internet throught BT internet sharing ?
'cos it's not clear if this device has full BT2.0+EDR speed ( 3 mb/sec about 150Kbytes/sec ) or it's simple 2.0 not EDR ( 750 kb/sec , about 50 Kbytes/sec ).
It's a simple test , you need an usb 2.0+EDR dongle , estabilish a connection throught BT internet sharing ( be sure you are in HSDPA area ) and check your data speed downloading a large file , you can see your downloading data rate ( average ) into the standard Internet explorer download window...
Can someone try this ? I'm interested on this device but need to know also this feature....

My guess is that it will be BT 2.0+EDR but then again I don't own a HTC TC.

According to PDADB it comes with Bluetooth 2.0 not the EDR version

I am connected to the internet via orbitII and bluetooth. ~110KB/sec
Hope that helps

It's 2.0 EDR.

Checked it on my HP Notebook and first it had been connected with a max speed of 700Kbit/s. As my notebook should be EDR-ready I checked drivers and found out that these weren't EDR-capaple. So I installed new driver from the successor and now I'm connected with 2,1Mbit/s

nice, thanx

nice infos , thx to all!

Nice, good to know it does have EDR I'm going to mail PDADB about it so that they change it.

pardon my ignorance of the Bluetooth protocols, but I don't understand how 3 mega BITS per second could equate to 150 kilo BYTES per second - in the version of computer science I learned, 8 bits equal a byte, meaning 3 mb/s equates to more than 350 kB/s

even if we allow a massive 30% protocol overhead, 350 kB/s still has about 250 kB/s usable bandwidth

I'd appreciate it if someone knowledgeable in BT could shed some light on this

lol, it is much faster copying things to the Touch Cruise using HSDPA (3.6 megabit = 450 kbyte/s), than using the Bluetooth connection (150 Kbyte/s).
