Just bought a XP8000 Energizer PowerPack from buy.com, it came with a so-called "iPad adapter" (product link, web-site contains a typo, the actual model is PC007). It was not in the original XP8000 box but included with the purchase. I can now charge my phone with this adapter from a dumb USB charger that wouldn't work before with a standard data cable. It's ridiculously pricey if bought separately ($10 - $20 + S&H), but if someone is considering a back up power pack then XP8000 + PC007 for $49.99 seems like a reasonable deal (link), considering you can use this charging adapter with other sources.

I still get a good 4 full charges while in use (gps running, etc.) in before it dies.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to always having this baby in my back pack, otherwise I always keep thinking about battery discharge while on the go. 39.99 is a steal, prices like this make one wonder what are the profit margins for stores selling products at MSRP.

Jabawok, I downloaded fmtxd1.3, renamed it to fmtxd, and did what you said. The frequency of the FM Transmitter widget changed to 76.00 MHz, and when I tried to change it in Settings, FM Transmitter, Frequency, it said "Unable to use FM Transmitter" when I clicked Save. When I restore the old fmtxd from the backup, I can change the frequency. Any ideas? Thanks!

Think you might be in the wrong thread.
Good luck with it though

Hey just so you know, Jawbone chargers work fine in the N900! (using the USB post that is!)
(Note: The mA output of the Nokia is rated at 1200mA/h were the Jawbone is 550mA/h. It will take longer to charge the N900 using it but if it's an over night charge it will be fine)
I did one of those, let's see if it works, things...and it did.

So if you go into H-E-N and the battery power metering logic is disabled is it possible to charge from a dumb cable?
I would like to use my 6V(AC) bicycle dynamo and dumb miniUSB phone charge rectifier-regulator5.2V(DC) to charge the N900 without too many weird adapters. Perhaps I will split the cable insulation in a mini-micro adapter and short the cables although I would prefer to leave things as they are for best weather resistance.
worst case I can use a miniUSB to nokia2mm and then my nokia 2mm 3mm adapter although that gets to be too much junk on the end of the cable.
Hacked or DIY power supplies and cables are how I burned out three of my four Zaurus PDA's back in the day so I am hesitant since I can't replace my N900.
