Hi, my colleague has a just-mobile - Gum Plus Power Pack

The Nokia phones require the USB data lines to be wired as well, not just the power lines.

My N8 does the same: it blinks for a moment when I plug the Gum Plus in, then nada. El Cheapo USB adapters don't work for the same reason, but for example the BlackBerry adapters are compatible.

I use a Justmobile Gum Pro and it works with my N900. Not on the first try thou, I had to insert the cable slowly.

I have a BB 8250 at work, it's mains adapter works fine with my phones. The USB cable itself is not enough, unfortunately.

I feel something is different with the pro version of Gum.
Let me wait my N900 is fully discharged to test again with.
Thanks for your feedback.

Just use USB cable with D+D- shorted.
