Bluetooth v3 to bluetooth v3 theoretical max transfer speeds?

[Briggs]

I'm going to have a bluetooth 3 laptop soon. Does anyone what kind of maximum speeds I should be able to get with BT3 to BT3 transfers. I can't seem to find out via google

I'm hoping it will be fast enough to forget about using the damn cable all the time?

Max Theoretical speed of 24Mbit/s or so I've read. Reality will be less of course but I'm not sure by how much as I have nothing to test it with

thats enough for your lossless music files.. btw where can you download those?

For comparison's sake, Bluetooth 2.0 had a theoretical max of 3Mbit/s but reality was more like 2.

Oh nice, so I should get some decent speed then. I'll try it out as soon as I get my new laptop with bluetooth 3 hopefully tomorrow.

I'd say don't expect more than 10-12Mbit/s - just to avoid disappointment... Even so, that's definitely decent for wireless transfer... God, there's cables everywhere... I have 2 USB cables on my desk right now, 2 more at my other computer, and one in the bedroom... For those bedroom USB needs.

Let us know how it goes Briggs, interested in seeing the results

Any torrent site I would think

Well Bluetooth 3.0 piggy backs off of wifi which is why it is so much faster. Typical Bloothtooth was picky didn't like a weak or strong signal, not sure of BT3, can't find a BT3 dongle for a PC

Oh not so lucky, its bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. So the speeds are nothing special. I was hoping it had bluetooth 3 but my models build date was before the revision with bluetooth 3.

How do we find out our build date and what BT we've got? :S
