I had a similar problem - as you say, the wire is very fragile (I would say "not of satisfactory quality", which is the legal test to be able to get a refund in the UK - Not sure about Ireland - though I bought it through the Irish site since they didn't charge for postage :-) The local Nokia Service place couldn't help since it was not a phone on the list of models they service. They offered to post the whole thing away to Nokia for a while - even though we could both see the copper sticking through the cable. I declined. Returning stuff is more of a problem with mail-order goods. I "solved" the problem when I got a Nokia E50 (with a decently robust wire coming out of the charger). It now charges both my devices. I wish there were better news... Paul
