Webcams require USB streaming (isochronous transfers I believe are what
they are called) and this may not be supported by the Nokia's hardware,
or even the USB OTG spec. You cannot connect webcams e.g. to VMware or
QEMU. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can speak to this, but I do know
that webcams are a bit different than pen drives and keyboards on the
USB bus.

 A (USB) hard drive is no different than a pen drive and will
definitely work.  At one point I had a 2.5 30GB drive connected and
it worked fine.

The 770 is not an OTG device, and web cams work fine.  You might have to
build the kernel module for your particular device, but that is not hard. 
The 770 must have it's USB set to host mode, but that is well documented.

Yes, they require different drivers, and present a different interface. 
Once the module is loaded it appears as a standard V4L or V4L2 device.
