I have my CDMA Samsung phone ($10/month 1xRTT Sprint) working with the
USB cable with my Linux laptop, but no bluetooth on that laptop (yet ;)
I'll need to get ahold of an adapter and give it a try.
My Mac OS/X laptop has both the Samsung phone via USB and a Nokia 3650
($29/month GPRS T-Mobile) via bluetooth working seemlessly (granted, it
took a bit of doing).
The latency on the GPRS/T-Mobile is actually *lower* than the 1xRTT on
Sprint (interactive ssh sessions are actually possible, if not laggy).
As for raw throughput, 1xRTT does appear much faster.
