Update: hasnt arrived yet but I have another one with the yellow tip - doesnt fit - too big - go for the Nokia one instead.

Wow, they are practically giving it away at that price. I suppose if you don't have a charger, that should work. I've never seen one before, however.

That price is amazing... but after seeing a cheap Treo usb cable burn up while plugged in my computer, I'm hesitant to use really cheap cables.

I settled on this one:

I ordered it for in-store pickup hoping to score another free $24 gift card. Unfortunately, it was in stock. :p

It also charges my Nokia BH-800 BT headset so I'm happy.

I do not think that is the correct one...if I am not mistaken the correct one is:

DKE-5

Many are on ebay...got mine a while ago, works great, (DKE-5 has both a data cable and the charger cable) however, you maybe interested in the USB charger I just got for my N82 as it also charges the N770, which I assume is the same for the N800.

The difference with the DKE-5 is I can both charge and do data on the N770 with the usb cable I can only do one or the other. Smaller lighter can charge from PC/Laptop/Auto/Wall/Solar for traveling.

When at home I use the DKE-5 so I ssh into the N770 while it is charging, download/upload, root, etc., without worrying about the battery.:o

It simply cannot be possible for a USB cable to 'burn up' - the current drawn is miniscule from a N8xx. Something else caused it to fail

All I can say is that the usb port and the Treo 650 worked before the cheap cable and they both work more than a year later without incident.

Just to be clear, I don't think you can charge the Nokia through the micro-B usb input (I tried my motorola razor charger). You need a USB-A to a Nokia E-61 connector.

I got the USB to Nokia retractable cable, charger and two spare batteries (reduced battery life from the original). This cost about $14 and about two weeks.

Also for an FYI, I just found out You can't put spare batteries in checked baggage. You must carry them on.

Read the link - That's for Lithium batteries.

Uhh, duh, that is what the Internet Tablets use....Li-po batteries (Lithium-Polymer).

I'm using the Poundland usb charger adaptor hooked to a 5V PC's Power Unit. It charges but battery never gets full. The multimeter show smaller current on the USB charger than the nokia's original charger. I also suspect that nokia uses pulse current not steady DC but I got osciloscope to see for sure.
My wories are that the tablet might expect a certain type of input.
Wrong charging mode might be less optimal for battery life time in general.

Any comments?
