Well, I have an IR port on my laptop so I didn't bother getting a datacable or BT dongle 
Speeds are not that great using IR and it takes up to 5 minutes to transfer song from my laptop to my 6230. Small files tranfer easily and quickly. Even though it is better to have a universal IR port, the fact is that most new phones come with only BT and not IR. See which is cheaper and then decide. Nokia has ben sticking with the Pop-Port interface for quite long and if your phone has it, then a datacable might be a good idea so that if you upgrade to another Nokia in the future, you should still be able to use the datacable. If your phone has BT, then get a BT dongle-no second thoughts about that!!

Here is the last one
I have used Irda , bluetooth as well as datacable..
datacable and bluetooth have faster tranfer rate.. IRDA sucks.. but is good choice as it will do with any handset ..
Same with dongle..
Also configuring irda is piece of cake..
but sometimes cable might not want to go you smooth but once configured then it is rather a pastry
So if you want speed in transfer then go for cable..
and want value for money then go fro irda

no dout data cables are fast but u have to use only original data cable to connect which are very costly

theraven i totally disagree with u...i hv a nokia 6600 with 1 gbps mmc card...i regularly transfermy music vids n mp3s to my phone..b4 i had ir port n it used to take 15 mins for 1 song(5 mb) to transfer...but now with a bluetooth or datacable i can get a transfer speed of 1mbps..u guyz mus be wondering that theres no dku slot in 6600 then how do i connect thru data cable...i do it by the older versions data cable(meant for 3315 n all with a patch frm some sites) in which u need to remove battery n insert cable...i'll suggest to go 4 bluetooth if person uses smartphones nwants to be universal...but since here the option is ir and dc i'll definitely go for data cable...
