Bullsh... Not true. N900 can charge fully depleted batteries without problem - at least, if we're talking about "depleted" as You can make it by actually using this battery in any electronic equipment. It seems, that some hardware part in Your device is not functioning properly, or You've FCKED something very badly @ software side. Anyway, if You're planning to do mega-whining every time something is not working as You expect, it may be good choice to buy android dumb-phone, or become iSheep. Otherwise, please take in mind, that everyone here is trying to help You - basically, volunteering - and sometimes, information You get from other forum members may be incorrect. /Estel
