IOS 5 - problems tethering iPad 2 to iPhone 3GS via Bluetooth

Here's my two cents worth of trouble with iOS5:
-Update of my 3GS took ages, but that seems to be the norm and nothing to worry about.
-Tethering my non-3G iPad2 is now a problem: the personal hotspot is enabled, bluetooth enabled on ipad and iphone, connection is made, blue ribbon appears on phone telling me so, data plan should be OK (at least it was until Wednesday), APN and stuff for tethering entered on the mobile networks page. And yet all I get is: no connection to the internet. Not a single app seems to be able to connect, although an hour ago Safari seemed to be able to load a small amount of a page (but this took ages). iPhone works nicely, no data issues at all.
Has anybody else experienced this kind of a problem? Is there something I can do apart from wait for iOS 5.0.1?

Have you tried tethering via WiFi instead of Bluetooth?
No, because the 3GS unfortunately does not do WiFi tethering, this is only available for users of the iPhone 4(S). I was already glad that tethering worked via Bluetooth with my now-rapidly-approaching-ante-deluvian-status 3GS.
But "upgrading" to a 4S would probably solve a few problems, the only thing from stopping me is the investment resistance of several hundred Euros...

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.

This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.

HI, I just bought an iPhone 4S. Although my iPad and other iPhone 3GS connect to our server (SBS2003) I cannot get through. It checks all items in the connection and then I get the message :Cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed."

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

My iPhone 5 won't discover my iPad or any other devices via Bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this?

You haven't said which generation iPad you have, but this article might help you regardless:

I imagine Keynote Remote uses Audio/Video Remote Control Profile which should be available on both your iPhone and iPad.
I think you're saying that since you got the new iPhone 5, these two things occur:
1. Your iPhone cannot discover your iPad
2. Your iPad cannot discover your iPhone.
If that's true, when you turn on Bluetooth on each of the devices, you might see old devices listed that are no longer used. If you do, I suggest clicking the white arrow to the right of such devices and clicking "Forget this device".
