N6600 doesn't support data cable officially,eventhough you can get it from 'ebay.in'.But for using datacable everytime you have to remove the backpanel,battery and connect it.It doesn't require PC suite.But again NOT very convenient.
Card reader is a better option IMHO.

I will always prefer a card reader for a few reasons.

1. Far cheaper
2. Can work later even if you change the phone
3. Can work even for DigiCam cards
4. You don't need a USB pen drive ;)

Get a bluetooth dongle

slow but you dont need to open up your phone when ever you have to copy some data to the card

Bluetooth is the way even Nokia advises,But the problem is we cannot transfer mp3 and avi files easily with BT,for which U need atleast card reader.Then only we can enjoy movie clips and mp3 songs.
