Was my issue, even with the AC adapter provided by Nokia stop working, 3rd party car adapter used to work. usb-microusb pc connector stopped since last week. Sent it in for repair, they stated they repaired the charging port on the N900, should receive it back today.

I havnt taken my volt meter to all 3 of my chargers, but they should work since they work for my girlfriends phone..
and yes, they are nokia chargers with the right voltage and current.
any ideas?
This is a problem with many newer smartphones. It is due to old/cheap USB chargers not shorting the data pins as was mentioned. Since i see you are in Boston, i will tell you that i bought the $12 USB car charging adapter from Microcenter, and it comes with a microUSB cable and seems to work for charging.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?
