So... let me get this straight...:
I won't be able to write files to the MEMORY STICK; only to the phone's memory? I won't be able to, put files to "MP3" folder, "Media"?/"Other" folder, Whatever folder I want? I only could 'send' them to the phone?
That'd be one of the main uses I'd give to it so.. that's why I ask so much.
Some say using FMA I'll be able to access the memory stick, some say I won't; the thing is that, even with the USB cable, I'm NOT able to access the memory stick using FMA / PhoneExplorer / ANYTHING else than the windows explorer.

If you send a video or music file via bt just by right clicking the file and then selecting 'send to' then the file will go straight to the memory card and to the correct folder.
If you send a .jar app or game this way then it will be installed on the phones memory automaticaly due to the drm.
You can use fma or my phone explorer to do the same thing, these apps give the added bonus of being able to back up your contacts and sms ect. You can also use them to veiw your phones files or the memory card files and upload your pc files to the correct files on the phone or memory card.
Personaly I use MyPhoneExplorer for this as it is far more stable than FMA at the moment.
MyPhoneExplorer will be able to do exactly what you want via bt as long as everything is set up correctly.

I'm wondering... how come that, for example, in FMA, using the data cable I CANT explore the memory stick files, but with the bluetooth I'll be able? Is that so?

I think you can, actually. If you install bluetooth drivers properly, you usually get access to a folder ("My Bluetooth Places" in my case) which also contains your BT neighborhood and/or any devices you've paired. If you're phone supports OBEX File Transfer, clicking on that phone's icon and then on OBEX (refresh if you don't see it) allows you access to the phone's folders and subfolders (In the case of my K750, that includes the memory stick's folder and the phone's internal memory folder and all their respective subfolders). Just open the specific target folder you want in your phone or MS and then drag & drop the files from wherever you're getting them. (I do this everyday.)
Card reader is still faster than BT though if you're transferring large amounts.

Data cable should be able to do what a bluetooth connection can, in most cases. But you have to make sure you're using the right comm port (check in "Tools" if you're using FMA).

Thanks john!
What's the approx. transfer speed rate you get (max) while transfering files TO the phone? Thanks!

i havent done any testing to see the transfer speed rates, but offhand card reader is the fastest, 2nd is the DCU cable, 3rd is bluetooth, that's while using Windows Explorer. For programs, I think it all depends on the settings because sometimes in some programs it seems to be the other way around or something.
One note though: my 1GB memory stick is only readable in the card reader the first time I use it fresh from formating. After putting it into the phone, it can only be read via DCU cable or bluetooth, unless I format it again (but once I've used it in the phone, the card reader can't see it anymore if I stick it back in there again).
