Well, I'm getting a new phone to accompany my N810. I don't really want a smartphone, but a regular phone that has a very fast bluetooth connection speed.

Any Bluetooth phone (even BT 1.0 spec) will be more than fast enough for the N8x0 while surfing over DUN - the N8x0 Bluetooth/DUN connection is sub-optimal (see bug #1771 for more details).

But which is the fastest. Are there any non-smartphone phones with 3.0G? I tried my friend's razr, but the connection worked extremely slow.

EDIT: So no matter what, it will be very, very slow.

I think that you're mixing up two things as you mention 3G. Bluetooth is only used to connect your tablet to your phone. Your phone's modem, dataplan and network coverage define the speed you can browse the net. If you want a fast wireless connection to your tablet, you should look into what kind of technologies (EDGE, 3G, HSDPA?) your carrier supports, and pick a phone that can use the fastest of them. Remember to also see the network coverage maps.

My carrier has 3,5G in city centers and heavily populated areas, and pretty good EDGE coverage elsewhere, so I picked Nokia 6120 which supports both.

Your frend's RAZR was slow, because it only supports GPRS data transfer, not because of slow bluetooth speed.

At the moment, any 3g phone with bluetooth will probably give you much the same results. However, should the N810 bugs get sorted, the theoretical best is a phone that has 3.5G + BT 2.0 + EDR.

Personally, I'm after an N82, but if T-Mobile don't offer it soon, I might go for the Viewty.

Any US phones? Like would the Nokia 6263 be a good phone?

People should vote for this bug so Nokia will fix it.
