Hi I just received a N810 from my step dad as a B'day gift. And found out that I would need to lug around a micro usb cable and power cable -.- . I was just wonderin if anyone knows if i can get a Y usb cable with micro usb and power dongle (eg. similar to the Y cable for a PSP).

N810 Noob

You have a pretty cool step-dad.

There is a USB charging alternative. You have two choices:

1. Nokia CA-100

2. Proporta (or similar) USB chargin cable

I use the proporta and it works well. You can get an adapter head for all of your devices (table, cell phone, ipod, etc) and only have the one retractable cable to carry. This is my solution.

Cheers,

TY james

Someone just sent me this link from amazon.

It says its for the N800 do you think it can still charge the N810.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7101

Includes dual-voltage AC charger and 12v DC car charger for USB devices.
Includes adapters for charging half-a-dozen different cell phones,

but add: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4860

to be sure you got the right one for the Nokia.

Both together cost $12 shipped anywhere in the world.

wow, checked out the proporta, and I really liked, I think I will be getting one of those to get rid of all those proprietary cables in my bag.

I just got the DealExtreme 7101.
There's no docs.
Green LED is clearly idle.
Red LED seems to be charging.
Is red/flashing green charged or over-current, or what?
I've also seen green/flashing red.
Anybody know what they mean?

Looking for the one ring to charge them all.

I think it will. The charger point on both the N800 and N810 is the same. The USB posrt is different though.

Again the same USB and charger cable will also work for the N810 with this attachment - converts MiniUSB to Micro USB.

Assuming the LEDs are showing status correctly, green flashing red probably means that the battery is charged, but the unit keeps drawing brief bursts of power. Could be to keep topping up the battery, or just to provide display power.

Did the 7101 kit have the new Nokia plug adapter or did you have to add 4860?

I got one off ebay, a retractable one that rolls up on a little reel, for $3.98, shipping included. Works great, very small and compact in a bag. I don't see it available now, though.
