got my data cable off ebay for about $4 i believe. It's super duper slow even to transfer small ring tones...a whole song would be rediculous.

A memory card is definitely the way to go. You can get a 1gb card for like $50. Usually the mini sd cards will come with an sd attachment, then you just either need the card reader, or i (for my first pc) bought a usb thumb drive type thingy that the sd card plugs into. Then the thumb drive thing into a usb slot and it transfers nice n fast.

Getting the cable however gives you the ability to put ring tones and edit the file system of your phone using the right software (thoguh it's recommended you be careful so as to not wreck your phone heh).
