From what I found SD cards require 3.3v to run (2.7~3.6v is also possible) and USB requires at lest 4.75V. Which might be a problem here. Anyway to make a converter it might work with connecting a usb pins to the following
microSD-=-USB
Pin---Pin
1
2
3--->2*
4--->1
5
6--->4
7--->3*
8

Now we want someone to sacrifice his microSD + USB device (his usb stick?) + card-reader/laptop/n900/mobile to see if its going to work :P
Before going a head I have to warn you that I didn't know which pin to which it should be connected in the case of (7&3)* One suppose to be Data in and other Data-out. I think someone who is into DIY or in electric can do it in the right way. I should also include that you shouldn't try this with with any important data in your usb stick. The worse case it might not work or you just burned it out.

For electric guys check this out

Interesting.. Nokia should have removed the redundant SD slot all together, 32GB is enough for most people and should have used the extra physical space for another USB OTG port. I carry a SDHC card reader (SanDisk ~ 1 inch and thin) loaded with a 16 GB card all the time anyway and its light as a feather. It would have been more of mobile computer if it had a hard port to connect to the external real world we live, not everything have bluetooth.
