I'm pretty sure its not something that requires any more hardware than the phone already has... Just some more software - (NTFS/FAT partition recognition... perhaps)

I do not have the N8's USB on the Go cable. I'll try to get myself one.

Meanwhile, anyone who does, can you please try this and see if fdisk registers the usb device when attached?
OTG can be done, it is somewhat included in current kernel, for at least a few Nokia gadgets, however, USB mass storage is not included in stock kernel. A recomple of kernel would be required, or .ko modules for insmod.
