    Sorry, but the hardware on most (all?) S60 phones just doesn’t support this.

    The technology that does this is callled USB OTG or USB on-the-go. It’s been around for a while, but for some reason manufacturers seem slow to introduce it. The ONLY device that Nokia have equiped with this is the N810. Why not the N95 – or the N96?? Who knows?? Beats ne!
    The OTG means that N810 can act in both USB roles, slave and master. You can find more about USB-OTG from http://www.usb.org/developers/onthego/ .

    If the port is already there, there’s no reason to not support it. Just the simple ability to plug in a flash drive would be awesome, but USB-based accesory hardware like GPS would be nice too, or anything else you’d like to give its own battery,
