It probably has more to do with region. I get perfectly acceptable
(no, not blazing) speeds with EDGE on AT&T.

I dunno. I've done this before, although not recently. I didn't like
it as Bluetooth was a real bottleneck both in latency and bandwidth,
dragging EDGE speeds down to sub-dialup speeds. Modern bluetooth
setups shouldn't be as bad.
