So I got back home, and instead of trying the wall charger I tried on my
home computer (because it has the original Nokia cable, instead of the
one I bought on eBay), and there it worked.
Tried on another pc, it worked too. Of course the wall charger worked
too.

And now, back to work, with the eBay cable, it charges happily. 

But strangely the first time I plugged it, it thought it was a wall
charger (it didn't ask for mass storage/pc suite mode), and after
unplugging/replugging it worked normally.

Strange ...
