Y'all might want to check your local sears. I bought the nokia folding speakers (oem) and three chargers for a total of about 30 bucks YMMV. The speakers rock, because they take four AAA cells and last quite a while. The chargers at sears were car chargers and were about 2 bucks each on clearance (USA stores). You can go to radio shack and get a 3 cell battery pack and solder on the tips from the clearance sears chargers. Use NiMH batterys for the pack, and I swear you get at least three full N810 charges from one charge of the three pack. Did you know you can get a 15 minute charger for 2200 amp hour NiMH? Throw some Energizer lithium ultimates in there and it is probably more like 10 full charges. This has worked well for me. I was on a flight to the philippines and used the N810 the entire tiime I was awake, with the 3 lithium cells, plus whenever I was away from a 110 outlet in a 2.5 week stay there. Don't even get me going about the filipina women, I'm going straight to hell now for sure. Then I found it still had enough juice left on the way back too. Not bad, and the Sears Nokia chargers are OEM, so they don't break off when you fall asleep with the thing charging, and roll over and knock it on the floor.

Just my 2 cents (*plus 12 years in the battery industry before I moved into semiconductors).
