The n810 needs a MICRO-B male, or the one you listed plus the mini-to-micro I listed.

Just so I am clear, the cable that comes with the 810 is insufficient to use with a female to female adapter to get out to a thumb drive because the pin settings are wrong?

Correct, but you can probably use USBControl to switch between master and slave

It's impractical for me because of the size of the cable too.

The pins of the original cable are right, but it does not throw it into host mode automatically. The scripts work, or get one of the micro-b to mini-b adapters, scrape back the insulation and shielding and solder a small switch between the black and brown wires. The switch "on" (shorting) makes it an "A". Then get a retractable mini-B to USB A - the whole thing will be more compact.

has shorty cables and camera lanyards that turn into miniB to usbA.

Thanks IntreidAnitpodean2 for the USBControl Link. It works great and I didn't even have to modify the cables. I used the Motorola SKN6252A Micro USB-B Male to Mini USB-B Female adapter coupled with the mini USB-B Male to USB-A Female adapter.

BTW, I have a N810. The USBControl program is simple and it just works without any X-term typing so even a newbie like me can use it. I have gotten the USB thumbdrives to work and also a USB keyboard.
It's so cheap to buy these adapters, I bought 3 and modded 1 with the soldering method. It works, but not very professional looking. I would suggest you buy extra adapters and play around with them since it costs next to nothing.

It's not quite what I wanted, since it has male at both ends and I couldn't plug a thumb drive into it. I could get a fem-fem adapter but I'd rather have it all one in one plug.
I'm also on the hunt for a USB Male - Nokia 2mm converter. My idea is to charge the N810 from the wall via a USB power brick and also from a solar charger. Keeping one plug type means I can connect three power sources (wall, solar panel, Solio) to each of three devices (iPod, GPS data logger, N810) depending on what source is working.
thanks....

Dang, so close:
USB A Male to Micro B Male Adapter
http://www.cablesunlimited.com/produ...roupcode=I3648
USB A Male to Micro A Male Adapter
http://www.cablesunlimited.com/produ...roupcode=I3647
With a f-to-f adapter, this is the closest to the single-piece for micro to A female that we've been looking for.
And which should I go for, Micro A or B?
