I need a car charger in a hurry and can't track down the Nokia DC-4 in town (Mpls-St. Paul).
Does anyone know of a good alternative mobile charger for car use?

Staples sold me a generic Nokia charger for $7 with the right tip, the "Just Wireless" brand. Works quite well!

I have found both Travel Chargers and Car Chargers at our local CompuUSA and Office Depot on clearence. I paid $1 to $2 each. Most of the new Nokia phones use the same charger as the N800.

Check the voltage ov the car charger. It should be at least 5V. The Nokia car charger I bought today is spec'ed at 5.7V, works fine. Chargers for older phones may not work, just like my old Nokia phone charger (with the old plug+adapter) doesn't charge the N800, the voltage is probably less than 5V.
