Both methods have their advantages but in certain circumstances Joikuspot is the preferable one (for example if your laptop has Wi-Fi but no Bluetooth, or if its Bluetooth doesn't work with Bluetooth modems).
I am a HEAVY S60 ( N95) Joikuspot user ( actually right now) and I do agree with above, it is fantastic to be free of a cable, but power consumption is massive.
so to be able to use Joikuspot for more than a few minutes it needs to be connected to a power output. However the new N900 can charge via micro USB right, so if connected to a PC it will charge at the same time...like my 10 year old PDA did...
but wireless seems quite a bit more modern...
