lo all. I've just bought a SE k700i, one week ago, but as i already knew it didn't bring any cable to connect to my pc and transfers files such mp3...
I would like you guys to tell me what should i buy... a USB cable ( 45€ in my place ) or a Bluetooth device to my PC ( dunno prices, but less than 40€ for sure ).
I was wondering if the cable is faster and all that stuff, can some1 help?

Thanks!

i'm not sure about transfer speeds but:
if you get the bluetooth device, then it can be used for multiple phones, i.e other family members with bluetooth enabled phones can use it. And if you change your phone in the future, you wont have to purchase another cable.

However you might be better off getting a cable if the transfer speeds are much better.

WHAT ? Bluetooth dongle costs lesser than a USB cable in your place ?

Go for the BT, i believe it has more speed, you can control your PC and stuff by the BT remote and it allows you to remain mobile too
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence of your attempt !!

My vote is definately for the Bluetooth dongle... much less bother than a cable.. obviously no wires to have trailing all over the place, and you can transfer stuff without physically being connected... up to 10m away...

I suggest you go for bluetooth since it can be used not only for mobile phones also for PDA's and also for networking purposes.

Bluetooth is the fastest. IR is ok. Cable is just mega slow.
