Prevention is better than cure.

I bought this Samsung charger from eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

The plug goes into the N900 soooo much easier than the standard Nokia one. Whenever I plug the Nokia charger in or pull it out, it feels like I'm scraping my nails down a blackboard. But this Samsung charger just clicks in and out really nicely.

I'd recommend it to any N900 owner tbh.
