I have found distinct differences in charging monitoring between the 770 and the N800. I own a 4AA emergency charger that will not charge the 770's battery (charging starts, but halts after a few minutes), but charges my N800 almost normally (albeit a little slower than the AC charger). I can only assume that the 770's charging circuitry doesn't like amps to be much lower than those provided by the stock Nokia charger.

Now, why Nokia would abandon such a sweet tie-in scam for the N800, that I cannot fathom...
