Slow transfer rate with USB devices

I noticed when I started trying to use my Sony Ericsson w810i cellphone as an mp3 player. A single mp3 would take about 5 minutes to transfer. Albums would take like half an hour. The transfer rate was showing like 150k/s.
I tried my girlfriend's shuffle... and since itunes doesn't show the transfer rate (that I know of) it seemed fine. Maybe it was.
I just went out and picked up a really cheap mp3 player: Coby MP300 (2gb flash mp3). The transfer on this one goes about 300k/s. This is still painfully slow.
I know my ports are properly reading as USB 2.0, and when I transfer to a microSD using a reader it goes lightning fast (a gig in a minute or so).
Any ideas what could be happening here? Is the pro duo in the phone just shit and the Coby MP300 a piece of junk and it's giving me slow speeds?
I'm running Vista 32.

When I used the w810, I picked up a cheap memory card reader and used that to copy files to/from the card instead of transferring through USB (this is extremely fast.) I can't remember if bluetooth was a faster or slower way to transfer music than USB, but if I can't remember it couldn't have been much better or worse.
Buying the bluetooth dongle definitely wasn't as good as buying the cheapo memory card reader.
However, it's worth ensuring your motherboard / chipset drivers are up to date (go to your motherboard manufacturer's website and check the drivers for your specific model) as they influence USB speeds too.
Ah well. It's 20 bucks and I won't be changing songs on it that often.
