Not very scientific (I took 43 MByte file and transferred it once and
did not discount time spent on manually accepting transfer on the
receiving end)...

Source of the transfer is ThinkPad X60:
FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0 r200413
ubt0: <Broadcom Corp BCM2045B, class 224/1, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2> on
usbus3
obexapp-1.4.12
No special tuning of the stack or obexapp.

* Nokia N810 ~120 KBytes/sec
* ThinkPad T500 (running Windows) ~150 KBytes/sec
