I like the AA battery compatibility as I can use the charger indefinitely if I ever needed to and don't have to worry about plug adapters for overseas use.
For the DiYers out there, check out the Adafruit. They have a kit for a mint-tin sized double AA battery phone recharger(can use regular or rechargeable AA batteries). http://adafruit.com/category/10
I decided to go all out and got a nice Li-poly battery, solar charger circuit and a solar panel and am putting together something like these pics:http://www.adafruit.com/products/390
It has been working great! I have had trouble with the N9 not recognizing some USB chargers in the past so make sure what you buy can be returned.
