USB OTG support for lumia series...

Folks,

I feel the OTG is not supported and on windows devices and it will never support henceforth.  This is due to sandboxing introduced in WP8 and there is no file manager as well in WP8. also, OTG puts your phone to risk of being infected by virus on USB stick that u intend to connect to phone. 

Let me know your thoughts. 👍

If USB OTG is a feature you think should be on WP8 you can go here to vote for it http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpnetwork/usb-otgon-the-go-support-of-windows-phone-8/930e267a-97e2-4871-8d6a-8eb061f2724a

Previous Nokia phones had an entirely different operating system. Features like that can't be ported over to a Windows Phone.

Can't really understand this bs by nokia and more so knowing that nokia introduced USB otg on Nokia n8 before anyone else did!

Hello Azraeil,

Thanks for poiinting that out. I was right in expecting someone to point out the 'you should have read the specs' to me sooner rather than later! I was well aware of this way before I made the purchase. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing OTG not being supported yet but simply stating that Nokia should be able to do something about it. My comparison to the el-cheapo Chinese products that actually do support OTG was to merely state that if they can, why can't Microsoft + Nokia together? Unless this was intentionally left out or blocked.

I have always been a Nokia user since the 8110, 3310, etc. although I've had Apple, Samsung and other devices all along, a Nokia has always been my primary device for almost everything, the longest use being the N95 8GB which I recently swapped for the Lumia 920.

And yes, I did take it to MS and voted it up - all 10 of my votes. Hope that counts for something...
