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,

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/ .

I’ve managed to connect my 250GB External HD to my N800 using USBControl, but I also managed to connect my N73 & N95 8GB using it as well, see http://nokiaaddict.com/2008/03/07/06032008046/
Very handy will traveling.

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