Have you got a pic? I'm interested in the USB connector setup. The ones I've seen look like they'd create a serious danger of breaking off the the N900's internal connector.

Anyway I don't think that scheme will work for the N810. If I'm not mistaken, the N810 uses the older Nokia 2mm charge connector requiring around 5.7 volts. It won't charge properly with the 5 volts supplied by USB, even if you use an adapter for the connector, without boosting the voltage.
