They used the USB charger because that's supposed to become standard so it can be shared among devices instead of manufacturing millions of proprietary charges, or something like that. But it's obviously not perfect, with USB host mode being not available right now.

Ironically, I do use a 2mm charger all the time with my N900 anyway, using the 2mm adapter.

Really, they could have just added the 2mm socket; there's plenty of room for something so small.
