Ah yes, the fragile charger cable.. I think my charger lasted no longer than a month before it stopped working. Possibly due to the wear and tear of bringing it with me to and from work in a pocket every day, but really that shouldn't be a problem? I used the N800 a _lot_ so I didn't have time to deal with return services, and just bought a new one in the nearest phone shop. The exact same model, which I now leave at home as much as possible.. A few days after that, I had figured out that the problem was in the cable, no more than a few cm from the charger. Snipped off the charger and spliced the good end with a USB cable - Tada, instant DIY combined USB charger and data cable :) Works well, though it seems that the voltage or current delivered by USB isn't quite as high as the "real" charger. Sometimes, when the battery is really low, this makes the N800 refuse to charge, so I still need to bring the real charger when traveling or using the N800 for critical applications. -- Jesper Cheetah <mail+maemo at jespercheetah.dk>
