for any UK readers, aldi have roll-up usb keyboards for £6.99. I've not tried mine with the n800 yet, as I need to make/buy an adapter cable, but I see no reason why it won't as it's a standard HCI keyboard

Cyberpower CP-H420MP is a self powered HUB that uses 4xAAA rechargeables (will recharge itself if you plug it into a powered USB port).
However I don't have one and reviews on Amazon aren't great - but for $23 with free ship I might pick one up anyway. Batteries are extra if you don't already have some.
hm maybe i could import them from the US.
however, that hub should provide enough power for a wifi usb stick w/ packet injection

the usb otg cable is made by simply connecting pin 4 to pin 5 on the n800 side!
I was hoping you'd managed to get it working without an OTG cable, but nevermind... I can't imagine the OTG-ness of the connection would affect my problem (dropping characters) anyway.

This may have been mention already but here is another small keyboard, SOLIDTEK 4"X9" Super Mini USB Keyboard. I use it with my Samsung Q1U EL, but I hope to try it on the my N800 tonight.
Hope you have better luck!

There's a known bug regarding mice that has been classified as WONT_FIX by Nokia on Bugzilla. I don't have a specific reference, but if you search for bluetooth mouse, you'll find references to it.
I must say though, it would be nice to be able to at least pipe it through to applications like rdesktop/vnc, even if it didn't work on the N800.

How to manually set the N800 with OS2008 to host mode.
For use with typical or non-OTG connections. For example the USB cable that ships with the N800 combined with a Female A to A gender Bender.
1. Download becomeroot
http://eko.one.pl/maemo/dists/mistra....1-2_armel.deb
2. Open Xterm and type:
2.a. sudo gainroot
2.b. echo host> /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode
-You will see a 'USB device not Supported' message, then it will work.
-Inserting a USB drive opened File Manager to the new drive.
-Insufficient power will cause some keyboards/mice to perform erratically.
3. To set N800 back to OTG mode, do:
3.a. echo otg > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode
Hint: Copy/Paste /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode or Just use tab-completion. Type /sys/de <tab>/pla <tab>/mu <tab> and it will autocomplete the command line for you. (yoinked from below, thanks)
---------------------------------------
I am about to add the above to Wiki. Any Comments? I dropped the 'if otg mode doesn't take' since I tested it on mine and it went back to otg mode without problem.
**Ponders**
How to flash N800 using N800 instructions? (just joking)
Will the N800 charge via USB in host mode? Would that allow you overcharge the battery causing the famous Nokia Battery explosion? I tried it momentarily and the battery icon does not indicate charging.
I will test a mouse ported through a powered USB hub in a few hours.

1. The symbols section of the stylus board has the underscore (and the pipe character, which can be hard to find otherwise)
2. Just use tab-completion. Type /sys/de <tab>/pla <tab>/mu <tab> and it will autocomplete the command line for you. Invaluable, even if it's not as smart as the bash-completion package.
