HI ZUHIB...
am definitely no rocket scientist... but sure know that blue tooth is faster.. and less complicated...!! the devices need not be in front of each other for bluetooth operations...for starters...

generally, better, yes. no need for line-of-sight to communicate between two devices. IR is better, though, in terms of compatibility. i mean, if i were to choose between buying an infrared bridge or bluetooth key for my PC, i'd get the IR, so i can also use it with my other devices (i.e. other non-BT phones, pda, etc).
at any rate, these are two different protocols/means of communication with their own respective uses. BT is great for non-LOS type of applications, i.e. using a headset, bluejacking (hehehe), or connecting to your PC while your phone is in your pocket. IR on the other hand will suffice if you don't need the abovementioned, and would just like to connect wirelessly.

i think it's much better; BT transfers files faster and removes compatibility issue. Like if i try sending wave files from my P8 to my sisters 7650, her unit sometimes hang, but if i send it thru BT, it transfers the files w/o any glitch.

BT has security issues but you wouldnt catch me bothering with IR & having to line up the devices for ages on long downloads like transfering your entire phonebook or similar.

I have never seen IRDA function at 4mbps. It's just like when serial port reports connection speed at 10mbps. Bluetooth is much faster, and much more reliable, but also more expensive. However it's becoming more and more common, so I'd go for bluetooth

I have seen IR transfer somewhere around 2Mbps in the real world and Bluetooth average ~1MBpm. The Bluetooth test file transfer was a 30 MB MP3 between a Mac G4 and an IBM Thinkpad without Encryption. It did take approximately slightly longer than 30 minutes.
