Technically, sure, it can be worked around and/or solved. However, for Nokia to obtain USB certification, they couldn't do both.

And one other thing, to whoever suggested putting an SD card inside a CF to SD converter: DSLR cameras use CF for a number of reasons, but primarily speed. I do not think this advantage carries over to using SD cards inside CF to SD converters. Moreover, some card types (xD, thanks Fuji!) have no equivalent converters, so those of use who use them are screwed in this respect.

I suppose that this usage case, while common, is not going to be a dealbreaker for many people.
What I absolutely cannot understand, as a use case, is wanting to use the N**0 with a DVD drive. Sure, it's fun in a geeky sort of way (and I'm sure many of us who had the original 770 connected it to a vast array of peripherals), but no one seriously expects Nokia (or any sane company, for the matter) to cater for the bizarre eventuality of someone saying that they do not want to rip their CDs or DVDs but want to lug around the drive and connect it to their phone. It might be interesting as a side project, and it may even give some useful by product, but calling it a dealbreaker is... well... stupid.

Just my 2p.
