Which phone is most robust for Bluetooth+GPRS?

I'm travelling to France for a month and I'll need connectivity for my
laptop while on the road. The laptop has builtin bluetooth. I need
to buy two phones, one for me and one for my wife. We will probably
be buying prepaid SIM cards if we can get a good deal on the data
quota. We don't care about any options except for:

1. phone power and sensitivity
2. bluetooth compatibility
3. GPRS throughput

Any recommendations?

I've been using the 6310 and 6310i for the past two years. The issues are
not the phone or coverage but the setup.

Getting to someone who understands what you're talking about, especially if
you're not fluent, can be a challenge. Access point, IP address, username,
password, homepage, etc. etc. can be daunting. I'll be glad to email you my
Excel sheet of settings, just email me after removing the obvious munge.

I used both Orange FR and SFR. SFR is more user-friendly IMHO.

Good luck, Andy

6310i the only choice.

I vouch for the Nokia 6310i (software version >= 5.0). I use it all
the time and it is very stable for GPRS and BT. However, I don't know
about France, is GPRS available for pay as you go?

make that software version 5.5 or later for proper bluetooth operation
