Tour and bluetooth tethering

[kbz1960]

Does the tour just suck for bluetooth tethering? I'm using the tether app and get pretty good speeds with usb. When I try bluetooth it's painfully slooooow. What am I missing?

Hi
I have been using BT tethering with my Tour and my Playbook and it works just fine. I am not sure how well it works on a computer for tethering purposes but it ouht to be the same since I tether the PB through the Tour for Internet Access. Perhaps its the applicaation u are using. Have u tried tethering with the the provisioning through the phone? By this I mean, add the tethering feature through u your carrier and test BT tethering that way. If speed is still slow then its not the app but if the speed is fine then it might be the app

It takes forever for dm to open it also. Probably my bluetooth. Oh well wanted to get rid of the cable. I also tried pdanet and same thing.
