I've always found bluetooth to be less hassle, tho apparently USB is a bit faster

justpaper

of course and direct connection is faster then a wireless connection,..

BUT if u get a cable then u'll only be about too use it with ur D500,.. but if u get a bluetooth dongle u'll be able too use it with other phones in the future when u upgrade,..
ands like JoseChungsDoomsday said bluetooth is hassle free,..

i have a d500 and my d500 wont connect to my bluetooth dongle and when i want to send to my pc it will receive but not send i phoned samsung they told me to get rid of service pack 2 which i decided against (advice from other mse'ers) it is also like that with some phones, so i would think a cable is probably gauranteed to work 100%

USB would have the edge...but remember when you upgrade your phone you will need to get another cable. At least with bluetooth you can use it with most phones these days

I always found bluetooth very very very very slow, not tried USB though

Another vote for bluetooth, ive used the same belkin adaptor on my v600,v80,k700i,d500 and 6680 with no problems at all but i am not using the sp2 drivers, once i installed bluetooth it automatically chose sp2 drivers but i went in and hit the update driver and chose the belkin driver to use and it works just fine;)

I have a bluetooth dongle that i brought of ebay for £15 to use with my D500 and works well, takes a little while to get used to understanding how it works, (though i am a bit thick), i used it a lot though,
