battery charging does not work huh?? I wonder how they can even unbrick or fix this once the battery dies. If u can't charge it then that's as good as dead........they must have like 9000+ N900s to test this, either that or they probably have an external battery charger or multiple spare batteries.......coz afaik, i couldn't find any external chargers on the net.

Bro, external charger is on Trademe, just search for the battery model and it will come out. I got one from TradeMe as well.

also if you are that techy enough you could make your own handy external charger. Dealing with amperes, voltages and step down transformers and diodes isn't hard if you know how they work.
