I believe if you put a different kernel on you can connect the n800 to usb peripherals if there are drivers. I would guess mass storage devices like usb keys and hard drives would work, but you would need to supply them with a power supply as the n800 is not capable of such a feature yet.

from what i gather, no devices?
besides updating the OS and accessing the SD cards from a different computer.
thanks in advance.
Nevertheless, rumours are circling that an experimental USB host mode driver is actually working, meaning that you might in the forseeable future actually hook up devices on your N800.
For the "old" 770, a fully functional USB host kernel is available. Do remember that neither device has power hooked up to their USB ports, so even if you get USB host mode working, you still need a modified USB cable or hub to provide power to the USB ports.

i think admins should combine some threads on common topics, if it's possible, since replies sometimes vary... plus pin-up some commonly raised questions.
(sorry i don't want to sound like the gent that was demanding answers straight up)

So two questions; why do we still not have the USB host mode on N800 (I thought it was easier to implement due to the presence of the above mentioned chip) and what are the fabulous hardware easter eggs we should expect from nokia...

And just to set the record: I don't work for Nokia, so I have no idea what easter eggs might or might not still lurk inside the N800. In any case, if there still is one (or more) inside, and Nokia thinks it would be funny to wait half a year to unveil them, I'm gonna find the closest Nokia representative I can, and kick 'im inna 'nads.
