I have a Nokia 7210 Supernova and it doesn't come bundled with a data cable. I want to have PC connectivity either by usb cable or bluetooth dongle.


which one will be faster and/or cheaper?

I suggest USB cable over Bluetooth. Both cost identical.
Not the original but chinese cable will cost you anything between Rs.60~200, while a Bluetooth dongle will cost Rs.150~200.

bluetooth file transfer is pathetically slow. go for USB cable.

If you are going for cable, be sure that the cable is long enough. My Nokia 3110c did not have a USB data cable, so I was using the one I got with my Transcend MP3 player. That cable was less than half a meter in length. This was an inconvenience to me.

With bluetooth, you will have mobility.

go for usb, as the data transfer baud rate is very high compared to that of bluetooth
