Ngage comes witha usb cable to conect with the PC to transfer file/s from each other. You can transfer anything to the MMC card in Ngage. But you have to buy the MMC card on your own.

maybe my bad english caused a misunderstanding...
i don't want to use usb interface to copy files from pc to ngage, but i'd like to connect ngage with something like usb key or usb pen... (really cheaper then mmc)

No can do. The N-Gage (like the devices you think about) are USB slaves that need an USB master/hub to power them/the connection.

Besides, the devices you think about (at least all such that I remember having seen), don't connect to the "mini-USB" connector, but one like you see on PC's.

True!The small connector is usually called USB-B and its usually found on PDAs,mobiles,digital cameras and the big connector is called USB-A.

I had to get it of my chest! 😮
