Yes, DC-10 is about twice as powerful. Has a retracteable cable, and an annoying blue glow.

Buy a small USB adapter, jumper the data pins with a blob of solder and you can charge ANYTHING that plugs into USB. Costs maybe $2 on eBay and 10 minutes of your time.
They tell, iPhones won't charge even with this trick (solder data pins together)
I have this 700 mA charger coming. Will tell you guys then if it works with N900 without modifications.

I swear Nokia's website acts like the N900 does not exist! They barely acknowledge the phone even though its better than every phone they have out right now (yes even the N8 and its crappy OS). I was trying to find a car charger but didn't know which one I should get for the N900. Can someone help me find a good one?

I use my old Nokia round pin charger and the microUSB adaptor that came with my N900.

AVOID: Verizon android chargers. I've had two that I tried from a friend that didn't supply enough power to charge the N900.
I got one from Sprint that was rated for 1Amp, and that works fine. I think you'll find that if it says "rapid charger" or "1Amp" on the package, you'll be fine. Otherwise, I'd avoid off brands. The DC-10 is a nice option if you want a matching "Nokia" branded charger.

i think DC-10 looks safer and more powerful
