the way I fixed this problem was to disable the 'VMware USB Arbitration Service' by opening the msconfig tool and unticking the 'VMware USB Arbitration Service' under Services Tap,
Damn. I've been trying to figure it out for the past 2 hours and it turned to be out this damn service.

I tried the device on my friends laptop that also have VMWare and this service is running and the N900 charged just fine. Maybe our VMware versions are different.

However, thanks a lot for the information man.
