I did not approach it nowhere near as scientifically. I saw a micro-USB charger and I bought it. It had never occurred to me that it might not be compatible: a micro-USB charger is a micro-USB charger, right? They are all standard (well, with the obvious exception of some companies who think they know better).

My experience shows me that it is true. Pretty much every charger I throw at my N900 is accepted fine, including the cheapest car cigarette lighter adapters.

If you really need to know, all my chargers are Samsung ETA0U10UBE. Here is a pic of the blighters for your pleasure:

It turns out I have three of them, all identical. Two from a charity shop, £1 each, and one in a box with a Samsung Android phone I tried once and put back in the box with the intention to sell it on eBay. The picture shows only the charity ones.
