I don't carry it around. I do sometimes pack my portable DVD drive though.

BUT, if my Nxx0 cannot connect to a HDD/DVD then I have to also own and maintain a PC so that I can access them when I need to. I don't want to have to purchase and maintain a PC just so that I can get data to/from a HDD/DVD when I need to. (For awhile I used my N800 as my only computing device. Recently it has become too slow for newer web-pages and I have needed a larger screen to run ddd. Thus I have begun to carry a small laptop/mouse/power-supply/phone/phone's power-supply and I find I leave the N800 home. I would love to go to just a phone an its power supply. But I need USB to do that.)
