Did you do anything to feed power into the 770?
The USB host port on a powered hub is not supposed to actually provide power to the computer that you're plugging it into - it's supposed to _get_ power from that port. Normally, the power that goes into the hub is only used to power the gadgets you plug into the hub, not the hub itself.
If your hub provides power upstream to the 770 without something like a three headed cable - that is, if just a gender changer works - then your USB hub is totally violating the USB spec. It's convenient when they do that, since it makes it easier to use them on the 770. However, don't be surprised if most of the hubs _don't_ work.

The USB port is designed to be a mass storage slave so the consumer can move big files to the RSMMC. If the USB chipset were internally powered off the 770 battery then you would only be able to transfer files when the 770 was charged and you run the risk of draining the 770 battery in the middle of transferring a huge file and corrupting your card. It would be very stupid to make the USB chipset internally powered. It would only shorten battery life and add no functionality for the vast majority of folks who will use this device.

The Nokia AC-4E adaptor doesn't supply a consistent voltage when plugged into both the Nokia and my kludged on 5V regulator
(snip)
My question now is, what is the maximum input voltage from the charging adaptor the Nokia 770 can handle? Note that almost all AC->DC converters actually output a higher voltage than indicated on the packaging. Thanks. -TM-

mkdir /mnt/sda1/ mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
770 doesn't fully recognize this, so although most keys work, the caps/numlk/scrllk keys are stuck ON and consequently all of the letters that would normally double as a numeric keypad are stuck in numeric keypad mode. I have verified that it functions fine on a Windows PC though...1 @ roll-up flexible keyboard
This works, but is very cumbersome, which defeats the purpose.1 @ USB2 SD card reader (thumb drive that holds an SD card) + 4g card

It's convenient when they do that, since it makes it easier to use them on the 770. However, don't be surprised if most of the hubs _don't_ work.
Also, just to clarify a bit, the 770's USB chipset is designed to work as a host or a device. However, if you (where by "you" I mean an electronic engineer building a device using the chip) want it to be a host, you are supposed to do two things:
1. Include a 5v power supply in your design.
2. Use a different connector. There's a USB standard connector that works with the standard cables that the 770 uses now, _or_ a cable that connects it to other USB _devices_.
USB host mode on the 770 is there because the component that Nokia chose to use happened, conveniently, to have features that they didn't really intend to use. They were cheapskates and skipped those components.
