Answers:
1The 115.2Kbps (14.4KB/s) connection sounds like the maximum speed your phone will talk to your computer, however your bottleneck is most likely where the phone is talking your cell network.
It sounds like you are confusing Kbps and KB/s - the former is usually used for specifying serial connection speeds and the latter for transfer. The lower case 'b' stands for bits, and the upper case stands for byte. There are 8 bits per byte, so if you're getting 3KB/s, you're actually transferring at 24Kbps, which is close to the maximum for your GPRS configuration.
Your phone supports EDGE, which is faster, but it sounds like you're probably running on GPRS right now (I haven't seen the 5140 UI, but there's probably an E or a G that shows up in your connection). The speed of your data connection will mostly depend on your signal strength and on your cell network condition.
Basically, it sounds like your phone is working as it should. There's probably not much you can do to make it go faster (you can give an "accelerator" a try, but most work either by optimizing connection settings for broadband users, or by pre-caching data, neither of which will really help your situation).
