It's not as if it's been a closely garded secret or something.

Do you know how much it would cost to ship it to the UK? I could take it off your hands; that website does not ship internationally AFAIK.

Everything should be identical on the N810.
USB keyboard works perfectly, but the mouse I have seems to suck too much power, i'll to find a cheaper generic laser mouse. How did you manage to get a working cursor?

Just to keep this thread alive and not start a new one -
I've checked ALL the posts twice and out of all 100+ posts it seems that only the Neostar cable looks like it can do anything to solve our problem.
I need to be able to hook up standard thumb drives and 2.5" external drives (like WD 250Gb passport) I would expect to have to provide external power (AA battery/ies).
Has anyone found a solution?

Don't we just need a USB A female-female adapter in conjunction with the included Nokia cable to be able to plug in "regular" USB?

What I have learned in this thread, the answer is no. Check out the N800 host-mode experiment thread too for more information.

I thought that the N810 is in a different boat for USB OTG host mode.

If it is that simple why hasn't anyone done it and reported how to do it?

We will probably require an adapter with some sort of "power injection".

The power issue is a seperate one. The easy and obvious method would be using a powered hub for which you could also build a battery pack, no?

Anyway, what we're talking about is the required cable, regardless of whether the device you want to use will need extra power or not.

for what it's worth, I managed to get a self-powered external HD connected to the n810. I just used the standard cable with a Female/female usb adapter to connect all the cables together - no other hardware. The instructions are the same for the n810 as it is for the n800. I want to do some throughput tests but haven't had a chance to yet.
