USB charger

[sandrodz]

I might be able to get free USB charger, but its a model designed for the
N90.

Any ideas if the N90 socket is the same as the N95 ?

[Doc Tran]

N90 uses the same charger plug as the N95

But it wont CHARGE the N95.
The N95's USB socket has not been designed with charging capabilities.

McBain, its not designed to charge through the mini USB socket.
Its a USB-to-Nokia-charging-Socket. But its designed for the N90.


I was wondering if this socket is the same the N95 uses.

in that case, it should fit. the N90 uses the same charging tip as the N95

I've had something similar. I used it to charge several phones, but it wouldn't charge the N95 from my Laptop USB. Apparently it needs a bit more oomf. You can get boosters which solve the issue, discussed elsewhere on the forum.

Just bear that in mind when you try it.

AHHH, now i see sandrodz.

Me? USB 2.0 mate. Don't think it's the speed though, I think it's the power output that's the problem.

It needs one of these thingies, I think.
