It takes longer to charge. Or, if you use gps navigation at full screen brightness while streaming music from internet over 3.5g, it'll barely keep up

When I was looking around, one of the things that I checked was the power output of the charger. Some only output 500mA. The standard Nokia wall charger outputs 1.2A (from memory). The best I could find was in Halfords [uk]. They do a multi-with-lots-of-adapters type charger that outputs 1A :-)

It's also got a retractable cable for easy stowing.

I've been using it for a few months now with no problems at all. It can cope with Music playing over FM and Sygic GPS running at the same time, and still have a small about of juice left to charge the battery.

I would recommend it.

I think it is called the Halfords Ultimate Charger. http://tinyurl.com/38r5wut

DC10 is great works perfect, looks cute in the dark and u can roll out and in the cable

I got one from ebay for some 2 to 3 $... it is not for n900 but for black berry... make sure it is 1A as 500mA will not give sufficient charge or worse still it will not be recognised as charger by the n900.
