The 770/n800 need current-limited power, and I would think the direct USB connection would feed it too much current. Too much current and the 770 will refuse to charge or possibly damage it. I bought a USB phone charger adapter and soldered a nokia phone plug onto it. The USB phone adapter boosts the voltage to 6 volts and limits the current as well. It looks very similar to the Nokia one except it has a female USB plug on the other side (to plug phone adapter plugs into). Works pretty well but doesn't seem to charge as fast as the standard AC adapter the 770/n800 ships with. Larry
