First, sorry for the slow/delayed reply; I imagine you'll have fixed the problem by now. But, I'll answer it for the sake of completeness.

1) The microUSB cable supplied for charging the phone doubles as a USB cable for charging the device. It's the default connector which is micro-USB. (FYI, mini-USB is what you'll find on a Nintendo DS or some older cameras. micro-USB is what you'll find on the N900, the Tecknet pack, all Blackberries and modern phones).

2) However, you don't want to charge a 7000mAh battery from a 500mAh USB port, it'll take an absolute age. The best thing to charge your IEP-380 is the Nokia AC-10X fast charger supplied with your N900, which is good for up to 1200mA. So, I'd be very surprised if a charging cable is actually what you want.
