@andrewfblack So you got your A737 going did you? Glad to hear it.

As for performance, I think even a straight 3G capable phone will be plenty fast. If it's 3G, it probably has BT 1.2 or better. EDR is less common but will come into its own soon enough, but both sides have to support it to really be beneficial-phone & tablet. As I recall, BT 2.0 doesn't always equate to +EDR.

My EDGE+BT 1.2 setup works just fine for occasional use. I don't stream and haven't tried it. Faster would be nice but that won't happen until I'm ready to change phones, and I like my current phone.

It sounds like Mike will be fine with the 6555 & MediaNet Unlimited, being aware of the potential consequences. OS2008 should pair and DUN just fine with that combination.
