Ordered.
Waited one week.
Plugged OTG dongle to N800.
No smoke.
Plugged thumb drive to dongle.
No smoke.
Whew.
Screen flashed message "USB device not supported"
Filemanager Open automatically
Showed my thumb drive files on the screen.
Getting excited.
Clicked on picture file (.jpg)
Opened imageviewer on N800.
Picture!!
Cool.
Thanks.

yup...once a device passes the good old 'smoke test' it's all gravy after that point.
