Hi guys,

Anyone know if this cable can be used to charge the N800 as well? The best is a cable that allows charging AND data transfer.

Well, that's the problem...I was wondering if there was a version of cable that had the other usb end so that it would be perfect for the N800. If it's the pop port, i think som may find it useful to connect to their nokia handphone?

Check out boxwave.com. They have a similar cable. It's a USB to power and mini-usb.

Hi Steve,
Sorry, couldn't find the cable you're talking about. Can you leave a link to it? Thanks!

It's for the e62 which I believe has the same power tip. If not I'll do a little hacking.

Luketoh, here's the BoxWave link:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/mini...a-e62_2097.htm
You'll note that it's listed as an accessory for the Nokia E62, which uses the same power and mini-USB connectors as the N800, plus (in the USA) the same Nokia AC-4U charger. So we might expect it to be compatible.
However, my miniSync is NOT working as expected. Although the N800 acknowledges the USB connection, on the other side Windows does not recognize the device. And the power tip seems defective, making and breaking contact intermittently as I wiggle it. This leaves me uncertain about whether the USB problem is a real incompatibility or just another quirk of this defective sample.
I'm waiting for BoxWave to respond to my request for an RMA number.

Ahoy jpj and all!
It looks like the boxwave thingy is perfect - if the next one is not defective as well. Keep us posted!

Does anyone know why my motorola usb mini car charger won't charge the N800? I tried with my Holux gpslim 240 mini usb charger and that didn't work either. Thanks

hawkfanz, the BoxWave miniSync we're talking about does NOT charge through the USB port. Check the supplied link, and you'll see that aside from the cool retracting form factor, it's equivalent to the Nokia supplied USB-to-miniUSB cable (which doesn't charge the N800 either), with the addition of an extra 5" cable section leading from the miniUSB to a 2mm (approx.) Nokia power tip. That's how they route the juice from your USB power source (wall wart or powered USB port) to the N800's standard power jack. So at least in theory, the cable does double duty: data connection through the miniUSB, and power through the round tip.
