Hi, my name is Andre, and I have a dilemma. My usb port broke on my n900. I got the green light to send it in for repair. However, I was wondering if there was a alternate way of charging it. I.e, through the 3.5mm jack by chance? The phone died before I could xfer my info to the memory card and I really need to access it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.. Thanks again.

well, maybe you can find a friend with a similar phone to charge the battery, or borrow theirs.

Oh o.k.
Or was N900 really broken?
I bought a second BL-5J battery which would probably help in this case if it was only the emtpy batt.

non Nokia ones like this one:

I asked Nokia support about standalone charger/desktop charger.
They told me that there is none from Nokia.

Unfortunately, I highly doubt that they were telling the truth. I went on ebay and searched for Nokia BL-5J standalone charger and got results. Below is a link to one of them..
