I recently purchased, a 32 GB external USB device, and was absolutely blown away at how long it took, to copy 8 GB of files to it. I was also surprised that they used the FAT file architecture system. I didn't think anything used that any more, NTFS has been around for so long that I assumed it was standard. To make a long story short, unless I absolutely have to, I certainly will not be using this device very often. And the idea that people would actually try to boot off of it, is frightening. This takes the cake for my definition of slow.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I would be interested to find out, if the memory in your phone, is using the old file architecture system. That might explain some of the lag in speed.
A lot of people don't understand why, I will not operate a wireless network in my home. The reason is very simple, I noticed that when using wireless, the process to convert a digital signal to a radio signal, and the process to convert it back to a digital one, reduced my download speed by about one third. It got worse when the signal was encrypted, a necessity these days, as a result of the drive by, wireless LAN users. I have no idea if any of this, affects your situation, but I thought I'd throw it in, because I learned it the hard way. In my opinion, Bluetooth is wonderful for many things, keyboards, mice, even wireless headsets, and audio, but I would think twice, before using it in the transfer of large amounts of data.
Like USB 2.0, it is a terrific advancement in the communication with many external devices, but it cannot compare with the speed of an eSata drive.
