btw my n97 charger has black fasten strip on the wire anmy n900 has white.

just for safe i will use my n97 charger from now on
Its not so much the "charger cable" as much as its the "USB data cable", as it has an additional set of "pins". However as stated, the Nokia connector pins are larger than other mfg. cable connectors (e.g. my Motorola Q's microUSB connectors). The tighter fit, combined with the ports' housing coming apart at the "crimped-seam" (not welded) is also cause for concern.
