When you flash USB host mode does the port still behave the same as in slave mode when you connect it to a PC? I mean does it still show up as a drive I can copy to?
I'll have to wait to answer this one. I read that it no longer will work this way, but I have not tried it yet, and I do not have my USB cable with me at the moment. IMHO, this is not a big loss, since I prefer Bluetooth for transfering small files and documents (either BT browsing, or sobex). For larger files, I remove my card and insert it in a USB 2.0 card reader. Transfering things like movies is not really tolerable over BT or the USB cable.

Also, I think I have anwered 2 of my other questions:

1. Google'ing around, I found some discussion of keybounce issues with late kernels and certain keyboards. One post I read specifically said that Debian kernels lacked a patch that fixes this. Obviously, we can assume that Nokia did not give this issue much effort on a device that has no official support for USB keyboards.

2. The Return key issue is only with Xterm, and is fixed by re-starting Xterm, not by unplugging and re-plugging the keyboard as I had stated.
