no, the phone is limited to 115K transfer rate regardless of the method, i.e., bluetooth, serial, infrared, usb (which is basically serial) |

some people use usb because there's no device connected to their usb port or their serial port is already taken. but speed is the same like master arnold says

Got a solution
Under control panel there is a new module "Phone Monitor Options"
Make sure you enable the com port that your phone is connected to!

I wrote a whole guide to using the phone w/ your USB cable.
It's here on the forum.
As for why USB vs. serial, there are a couple of reasons. (Current software issues aside), USB is generally easier to configure that serial. Also, many modern computers don't have (old-style) serial ports.

Another reason many people use the serial cable...
It is more widely available. Here in the US, AT&T Wireless carries the serial cable in their stores, for example. So does Best Buy. But to get the USB cable (DCU-10), you have to order it directly from SonyEricsson (this link is the US accessories page for the T68i... lots of good stuff you can't find in stores).
