Note that I don't have a ca100 cable, I gather it has a step-up converter from the specifications.
Alright - thanks for the feedback! The cable that came with my first MP1550 was faulty and so I chose to not use the one supplied with the second MP1550. I'm testing now using the supplied retractable cable and adapter and so far all three status LED's on the MP1550 have remained solid for 4 hours. Sweet!!

The only downside is that the bulky Tekkeon Nokia adapter seems like it could more easily facilitate damaging the N8X0's power than the standard charging cable should the cable or adapter be accidentally pulled laterally. This would be easy to avoid at a table in a cafe or some other setting where you have plenty of space. I'd be a little nervous sitting in coach on an airplane with someone sitting to my right though.

I'm going to contact Tekkeon on Monday to order a replacement cable for the one that arrived faulty. I'll also ask them if they have specifications for the supplied cable/adapter and pass along any useful information here.

Thanks again all!!
