I had the same problem (had to have the phone at the right angle). I picked up a spare battery from Batteries Plus, and found that the connector pins on the original battery are an extremely loose fit compared to the replacement I got. With the new battery I haven't had the charging problem. This leads me to believe that if the connector pins on the battery don't fit well, the n900 won't charge until you get it at an angle in which the pins are making a good connection. I've only had the new battery for a few days, so I will give an updated if this situation changes.
