Since I don't own a cell phone, I've never tried charging from an XO.
My external USB storage devices are all self-powered; and my other USB devices (adapters, microscopes, keyboards, etc.) are all low-power devices. In about four years of using XO-1.5s, I haven't ever had the XO-1.5 crash when I dynamically plugged any USB device in.
