Will it charge your N900? Maybe. The N900 is more finicky than most devices in what it will accept a charge from. Read this forum for more info about aftermarket chargers.

thanks, that sounds promising.
the maker of the navi is a well known, more or less high-quality brand, so i think i'll try it.
my initial thought was that in the worst case, its not going to do anything to the n900 (neither charge or damage), because the output is lower than the wall chargers output.... but who knows.

at least you didnt tell me its going to explode
