I normally get between four and six - Bluetooth isn't very fast, but you should be getting more than one.
i usually get 61kbs on my 6280 but its just this razr thats ******* me up the wall
 
i usally get around 10-15KBs with my V5150. i found that if i transfer the files by using my computer to search the phone it goes faster than selecting the file and then copy or move from the phone.

are you using the bluetooth from your computer or are you using a dongle? do you have a BT mouse or keyboard? that might slow down the transfer rate.
 
My Moto v360 is slow also

I feel your pain, my Motorola v360 is slow at bluetooth transfers also! I can use a mini-usb cord but that is slow as well. Sorry, I don't know the transfer rate of my usb connection.

My v360 has a MicroSD slot and I have a 1GB card to replace the 64MB card that came with it. I put the card in an IOGEAR usb reader to get files on or off the card and it transfers relatively fast. Yes, it's a lot more fooling around than bluetooth or a usb cord but I usually only do it for transferring a lot of music or if I have a lot of pics or vids I took on the phone. I think I have about 600-700 MB on it right now.

However, I still use bluetooth to sync contacts with my PowerMac and my .Mac account using iSync. It's painfully slow but syncing with my PowerMac is so valuable to me.

One thing I have wondered about is the bluetooth version of the phone. I know bluetooth v2 adapters are available on the computer end but I don't know if phones are v1 or v2. V2 has a higher transfer rate.

Does the RAZR, SLVR or Pebl have a memory card slot?

My friend has one and the bluetooth implementation on the V3 is just poorly done and runs slow. Maybe there is a firmware upgrade available to fix it?

I have a SE700i and get about 20-22kb for comparison.

yea its a dongle but the Razr was the only thing connected to it but even with 2 phones connected my 6280 stil transfers at 61kbs
