I would recommend bluetooth connection. There are some benefits and
some drawback using it:
- support for bluetooth connection is definitely much better and much
better tested
- you may get unsupported DKU2 cable by noname vendor (it may be also
true for bluetooth dongle)
- DKU2 is supported just with Linux and Windows environments (there
was attempt to use libusb on FBSD but AFAIR unsuccessful)
- with DKU2 you are still plugged; with wireless (not counting irda)
it is much more convinient to use
- you cannot use bluetooth headphones in parallel to gnokii bluetooth
connection (I belive you could download phonebook over dku2 while
talking through bluetooth headphones)

take care,
