hi

I was wondering what is better to buy to transfer applications and files to my 6600 from my PC, any advice would be great

Thanks

A dongle is handy for quickly dumping apps/etc. to your phone (plus accessing email, web without GPRS). A card reader is useful for installing larger files (music, movies, demos, etc.) that can take a long time if you did it over Bluetooth. I have both, and they each have their own place.

Here too, I have both, but if finance limits u, id say go for the card reader. Like beskippy said BT takes more time uploading while a card reader would only take a few minutes or so, I upload lots of MP3s on mine so if you'll be using your phone for such, its a better idea to get the card reader.

The BT is handy especially if your an Install galore guy, One click send install, thats it! You decide.
