Hey no probs man

I would heartily recommend a uni charger like one of these...just make sure the output is good for your devices...that way you can use it for other batt types as well. This one is just an example for an external...I'm sure there are better than this out there...but they are pretty cheap.

even better...

This model of charger (below)..note it's model no. and physic characteristics..(there are knockoffs that almost look but may not output properly...make sure of your model no.'s) ...is the one I highly suggest. the price for this particular for sale item is high...but I'm sure you can find exactly the same cheaper...

I got 5 of them for 20$ a year or two ago.

same with the cables...actually the cables are pretty universal..usb to usb mini..

Batts...hmm...original is better...
here is one...

some companies refresh old batts ...they may not be back up to 100% but they usually get them back to between 75 and usually 95 % (not bad for an old batt.)

and ..I know that he is around somewhere...I can't find it now but I bought 5 n800 bpl5 knockoffs from germany...they weren't old originals ...so hence I call them knockoffs...if you can find THAT guy...those batts worked very well ...think I paid 20$ for all 5

If I find that fellow I'll let you know...those alt batts of his were the best non-oem I've used.

Hmm...keep it simple for your sd cards too. 8 or 16gb for internal at a class 4 should have no issues...you can put a 32gb class 4 in but...I myself like things a little cleaner in regards to having os's and progs specifically on internal and audio,books,film etc on an external or multiple external sd cards for easy swap in/out. so I've settled into a habit of 16gb internal and 3 32gb sd cards for external use. I've had good luck with 64gb sd cards and have been puttering away for a while now with making 128gb cards work properly on the n800...

Can't think of anything else at the mo. If I do I'll post .

Hmm ..actually what country are you in ?...
