I went to the local Nokia Service Centre in Cork. They'd never heard of 
an N800 (no surprises there, then), but they had a big box of loose 
chargers, among which were several the same as the one supplied with the 
N800. They sold me one for ?29, which I thought was a bit shabby, seeing 
as they were obviously returns, and I rejected the first one because it 
didn't work. Unfortunately the second one, which appeared to work in the 
store, didn't work when I got home -- doubtless suffering from the same 
problem as my original. So I'll go back and wave the receipt at them and 
try to get a new one in a box rather than someone else's cast-off reject.

The car charger I bought at the same time was new-in-box and works 
perfectly.

My daughter's phone charger (smaller, with the wire coming out at the 
corner (!) works perfectly in the N800 but charges more slowly. It's 
actually plugged in right now so I won't disturb it by looking for its 
part number.
