I swear Nokia's website acts like the N900 does not exist! They barely acknowledge the phone even though its better than every phone they have out right now (yes even the N8 and its crappy OS). I was trying to find a car charger but didn't know which one I should get for the N900. Can someone help me find a good one?

Uh. Any microusb one?
Buy a small USB adapter, jumper the data pins with a blob of solder and you can charge ANYTHING that plugs into USB. Costs maybe $2 on eBay and 10 minutes of your time.

Motorola P513 car charger works great with N900 and charges very fast. You can get it on Amazon for about 5 bucks. (if you get it there, be sure to buy from Amazon themselve and not the other marketplace sellers, many of them are fakes, the one from amazon themselves is real and works fine)
And no modification needed on this one, just buy it and use it

I have the Nokia DC-10 car charger. It's powerful, able to provide over 1200mA of current.
Nokia also has the smaller one, the DC-6. It's only capable of 600mA or so, I think.

I'm using a "mobo" car charger for Black Berry and my N900 hasn't blown-up... so I think it's not that hard to find one after all...

I use my old Nokia round pin charger and the microUSB adaptor that came with my N900.
