This is a design limitation by Compaq. All Bluetooth requests are routed through the serial port UART which is limited to 115.2k baud. You may notice this limitation if you try to access Bluetooth access points for the web or have high speed data like 1xRTT or GPRS.
4/17/02	iPAQ 3800	When using the iPAQ 3800 outside users have noticed that the systems are very slow.	By design, the Infrared ports in Pocket PC 2002 are enabled all the time.
