After using the previously mentioned magnetic cable for a few weeks I decided to stop using it. When my N900 is active while charging it consumes more current than the power supply provides and after a while it just powers off and the battery is flat.
At first I thought it had something to do with bad batteries, but after some tests I am pretty sure it is the cable/plug.
So I am changing my advice to "don't buy" - YMMV

That's weird. Any idea why that may be? Bad contact?
There is no noticeable loss of contact during charging - the contact itself feels pretty firm (that is also the reason why I was so positive about it at first).
It does charge sufficient when the device is powered off but I need to have it charged while using VNC and wifi. No problems like this using a micro-usb cable or adaptor.
