As far as I know it's not possible on the SGS because it doesn't have USB on the go support. The SGS II has USB OTG so can do it, as well as some Nokia phones such as the N8.

Using the phone as a pc is kind of a unique idea. I'm not sure why one would really want to do that, but I may just be unimaginative.

There is a way to manage the phone with through your pc, thereby taking advantage of the keyboard, mouse and monitor. MobilEdit is a cellphone management program that will allow you to manage your contacts, send texts, and so on far more easily than poking around the cellphone's screen based keyboard. I have found it works pretty well.

 

Actually, I'm referring to a pc-based program called MobilEdit. It allows you to view the phone's contents on your pc's monitor and manage the phone via the pc's keyboard. You can create or edit contacts, send text messages, and move files/photos/videos to and from your phone. I find using a pc's keyboard far easier than pecking around the phone's screen.
