datacable is obvious fast then bluetooth...with bluetooth it will take 2 mins to transfer a song..very slow

Data cable any day ... additionally, it could also be used as a charger

But bluetooth is a boon, in case of unavailability of wires, or if the wire port have been damaged for some reason. Don't know about any body else, but it sure was the only way for me for a year! :-D

Data Cable. Try to transfer big files (50+ mb) via Bluetooth(upto 2.1) and you will know how slow it is compared to USB 2.0

better use data cable as using gprs and bluetooth t same time will drain the battery real fast, data transfer shouldnt take a hit as the internet speed wont be more than bluetooth data .transfer limit, unless you get high speed 3g.
