The only weird thing about it was that you couldn't charge a fully empty N810 with the micro(?) usb charger. It'd charge just enough to boot and then crash again, because it couldn't wake up far enough to negotiate a higher current with the charger.

Had to use a barrel plug to charge it.

Spent a very nervous and sweaty day figuring that out when I bought one used with no warranty or returns and it didn't boot properly =)

It sure is a weird thing, but yes, the first mobile devices that shipped with USB didn't really know how to charge off it.
