I take it you mean a bluetooth dongle ? If so, thats all I use to transfer stuff to my phone. No problems at all.

you mean bluetooth dongle?
they work ok but sometimes you can have problems with connection (but you can also have similar problems with cable)
i prefer memory card reader (if your phone has a mem card)

Bluetooth dongles are in my opinion much more cost effective than leads, because if you get a new make of phone you haven't got to fork out for yet another lead, as long as the phone is bluetooth compatible it will work fine. I have used mine for over a year now no problems at all.

It makes no difference, other than transferring via a bluetooth dongle is much slower than using a cable.

I use a data cable with my Nokia 6300 and the Nokia suite and they fly across in a flash into a folder in My Pictures

I know what you mean about the buying a cable when you change phones, but most come with the phone, or do what I did skank one out of OSPS for free
