Whenever I take a pic with my camera phone, transferring a file is as easy as right clicking on the bluetooth icon in the taskbar, sending the file and clicking 'next' on the Bluetooth dialog. Microsoft have made it wonderfully simple to transfer a file to your PC from a bluetooth device.
Transferring lots of files, however, is a different story. by the time your on the 5th or so file, you'll be getting fairly tired of right clicking on tray icons.
I put the following command in my autohotkey script, using WIN + SHIFT + B as the shortcut key.
%windir%\system32\fsquirt.exe -receive
Now if I want to transfer ten photos, I hit WIN+SHIFT+B ten times, ten dialogs spring up, and I can fire away all my photos from the phone end.
PS: fsquirt? Who thinks up the names for these things?

Personally I like to use USB and the software that comes with the phone (and most now adays do indeed have a wired mechanism and a software package). It makes file management far simpler; bluetooth is dead when it comes to multiple file transfer.

Yeah the cable is always faster and easier. But not always to hand. Sometimes its buried in a draw somewhere and you just need to transfer 5 photos right now.
