Yes. It's called USB OTG (on the go).

Yep, see it demoed here. Unknown how wide the host support will be (will it include keyboard/mouse/gamepad etc).

Wow! That's really cool, thanks for the answer

Just curious... does Sensation also have this?

dunno if this has been asked before but i thought that this is the place to ask it.
since the phone has USB-otg could we use a mini usb to usb adapter or to we have to buy the samsung one?

The big question is if it is feasible somehow to read/write NFTS or at least EXT2-3-4 partitions! It would be great to be able to manipulate files on a 2.5" external HDD.

No, it can't read'write NFTS, but it works fine with large drives that are Fat32 formatted. Read my thread in the accessories forum for lots of information on USB OTG.

Where can we get the USB adapter for cheapest ?

There is even USB host support for your HD2. Trouble is usually you need an externally powered hub, as the phone can't supply enough power (or not for long) to power the USB device.

A microUSB plug to USB A jack is easy on ebay for like 2 bucks?

I got this one, works like a charm: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004TJC1IM
