I'm having issues as well. My horrible story started when a car charger basically fried my phone. I sent it in, they couldn't repair it so they sent me a new one.

Not sure if it was just because the battery had been dead or what the deal was, but I couldn't get the new one to charge at all.

Sent it back in, they sent it back almost right away and said all was happy, had ran the update (although in the time my phone had been originally sent off, PR1.3 had come out, tried to upgrade to that and it failed due to whatever charging issues..)

Now with this sent to me the second time, I had upgraded to PR1.3 (first over the air, had issues, tried it with flasher, same issues).

The issue was that when I'd plug in any usb cable, it'd do it's normal thing, start charging, then pop up saying that the device was using more power than was provided by the PC port.

Tried it on three different computers with three different cables, and multiple USB ports and even two separate batteries.

If I plugged it in to charge for a while, then unplugged it, my battery status would say that it went from 9x% to 0%, and would do the constant low battery warnings. If I rebooted, the battery indicator would be back up to where it should be.

Now I've flashed again with PR1.2 and so far it's not getting that voltage drop that PR1.3 had that would drain rather than charge the battery.

How's that for a nasty bug!?

Edit: Damn, no such luck. PR1.2 does the same thing on this phone. I bought a third Higher capacity battery, but somehow it was misplaced in the time that I didn't have the phone. The only reason I'm able to use my phone right now is because I bought a USB battery charger...

Talk about infuriating. Guess I'll have to contact Nokia Customer Care... again... about this same damn phone... again.. they didn't fix the issue... again...
