Both the N800 and its little BT GPS "puck" receiver use the same tiny
charging cords. Both units use standard Nokia sellphone batteries, too.
The GPS uses a BL-5C and the tablet uses a BP-5L, which I found on the net
for $18, a real OEM battery. Both are very easy to obtain.

I think this little charger fits lots of Nokia phones, too. It makes good
manufacturing sense.

I was going to "upgrade" to the 6500 watt model, but because I have so much
free vegoil fuel I run in my diesel truck and cars I elected to go with a
diesel I could convert for the house. We had no power for nearly 4 MONTHS
after Hurricane Hugo in 1989, here, and I swore I would NEVER sit in the
dark, again.....and I won't.

I love USB charging. It's much easier to have one standard small
charging connector than a gazillion proprietary ones. I wish that more
digital cameras had the option to charge the Li-Ion battery via USB. I
wish that all the music players would have a mini-USB connector rather
than the easily breakable flat connectors.

Politely requesting netiquette isn't netcopping.

It says "please" and there's no "shouting" or calling people idiots (or
worse) ... that's called being polite ... dumbass. ;-)

Wow! You're on the cutting edge of technology. My phone still uses a
coal-powered steeam engine and my laptop has a hamster running on a
wheel. ;-)

"Please" does not always equate to polite... dumbass

....uh, that may not be as far fetched as this joke...

If you've never visited the Colorado mountain men the power company wishes
they'd never refused service to, otherpower.com has expanded into an
international business of direct-drive, no gearbox, high powered wind
machines made from home-made wooden blades, car disk brake alternators that
turn so slow they'll never wear out, and home-made steering systems
unduplicated anywhere.

It's the coolest power alternator I ever saw.....and Skippy the hamster has
one on his play wheel! You gotta see it....(c;

With a few more hamsters, you never know.....we might have enough power to
keep up with the heavy load from an IPHONE!

Don't miss the webpages on the Listeroid alternator and wood-powered, steam
power plants! Electric power for your house has been escaping up that
fireplace chimney all your life....(c;

I've followed them for years.

Certainly- prior to my relatively recent (2+ years) foray into WinMo
phones,I was a dedicated Nokia snob. I had, over 15 years, a Nokia 100, 101,
232, 2160, 5120, 5160, 5190, 6120, 6190, 8260, 8290, 6610, 3560, 6010,
3650, 3620, and 6030.

Those SEVENTEEN phones, spanning WELL over a decade, only used TWO
different chargers amongst them! (Good thing too- my wife tends to lose
chargers on various business trips at a rate of two or three a year. I now
keep the cheap eBay "ships from Hong Kong" mini-USB charger sellers busy!

I'm very unfamiliar with PTT implementations- why wouldn't the system just
use the same "registration" the phone portion of the device uses? If the
system sees that your iDen UberTalkie 3000 is connected to the network, why
does the PTT part of the device need to announce itself separately? (I'm
not doubting your statement- I'm just curious. I've just never given a
rat's hindquarters about PTT to bother to have learned how the various
systems work!)
