I am attempting to connect T-Mobile's data service to my laptop via. a
Nokia 3650 with Bluetooth. I was told that T-Mobile's data speed was
33-56k but I only get 19-21. Then I was told that BT has a upper
bandwidth limit of 19.8K so I will never get the full T-Mobile speed.
Does BT have an upper speed limit? How can I check the actual data
throughput of the connection between the computer and phone?

Thanks

However told you that is not quite right. Bluetooth will give you 720kbps.
You may have limitations on some implementations - for example when they use
the standard drivers for serial communications, but even so you might get
115kbps.

No, BT has no upper speed limit, The specification suggests radio tranceivers that have no
physical limits and should therefore transmit on a radio frequncy
some where between infinity^-1 and infinity Hertz, give or take...

Expect tranfer rates > 100 zetabits/sec.. in the distant future...

manufacturers however are reluctant to produce Bluetooth devices faster than 3 Mbits gross
symbol rate, due to sheer idle-ness and lack of understanding about "FANTASY" based
modulation schemes..
