USB cable transfer speeds

What kind of transfer speed can one get when using the standard DKU-2 USB data cable that comes with the 6630?

I gave my USB cable away as I didn't think I'd be using it, but I've found Bluetooth is too slow (30-40 KBytes/sec), and I really can't be arsed to keep taking the memory card in and out of the phone to use it with a card reader.

So, how fast is the USB cable? If it's significantly more than the 30-40KB/s of Bluetooth then I'll buy another cable off ebay, if not then I suppose I'll have to lump it and get a card reader.

i found it to be pretty fast with my 7610, faster thn bluetooth but mmc card readers are the best! y cant u use a card reader? thats what the hot swap mmc is all about!

Have you read my post?

...and I really can't be arsed to keep taking the memory card in and out of the phone to use it with a card reader.
😉

Anyway, do you have any idea as to how fast it is? 100KB/s? 500KB/s?

Did anyone ever actually measure the speed of the cable?
I get around 3MBytes/min (around 50Kbytes/sec) when I use my bluetooth.
Somewhere else in a forum a guy wrote he was getting the same kind of speed using the DKU-2 cable.
Anyone here who could tell me with what kind of speed they are able to transfer files to there nokia phone using bluetooth or the DKU-2 cable or a card reader?

I'm considering buying a DKU-2 cable, but if it is not faster then my bluetooth I won't.

Thanks

USB 2 is about 480MB/sec


~60megabytes/sec ?

not that fast.

i copied a 23 meg file and took around 2 minutes so its not that slow
i do agree card readers are good but to much stuffing around, but to say yu get a huge copy difference.

my two cents
