small charger for N770/800?

[vees]

Given the small size of my N800 I find the unit's charger way too big (and I wish Nokia had thought of making a USB charging option). Has anyone seen a smaller, more compact, charger anywhere?

Hi,

I have been using the boxwave mini sync charger Nokia E62. It works via USB
and you can buy a wall charger plug for it as well. It's very small.

Here's the link.

Hi Nash, nice looking solution. Does it also work as a USB cable with the tablet for data transfer?

Hi Nash,

Looks ideal. Are you *sure* this works with the N800 (whose original charger is rated at 5V/890 mA)? The website seems to suggest that the only two Nokia devices compatible with this charger are the Nokia E61 and the Nokia E62...

I got one of these

on ebay for around $5 and it seems to work fine.

Hi vees,

It does charge via USB and data transfer at the same time. :)

I do not know anything about voltage.

The pin is the same size as the N800 pin. Also I use it on my nokia phone and
it's a 6102i.

The best part about this charger is that it's very small and handy.

Wanted to add: I went to the Nokia site and E62 and N800 use the same
charger

It's 13 bucks cheaper (@ approx 5 dollars) than the OP's cable. It's retractable, and goes from USB->Nokia.

I hop to find out in a week or so if it's the right thing.

Please do let us know if this one work, as I might get it. Thanks!

The thing works beautifully. It fits snugly (i.e. won't easily fall out) and charges without any problems.

I keep this in my N800 case. It doesn't take much space at all, and thus I can leave the power adapter at home in most cases.

It's been quite useful at conferences where all the wall power outlets are occupied. I can usually talk someone into letting me plug the USB cable into their laptop. Although, I do have to repeatedly promise that it's power only, and not data :)
