Little Help: Anyone have the Nokia CA-70 and an iPod charger?
By Stefan Constantinescu on Thursday, January 25th, 2007 at 5:44 PM PST In Ideas and rants
For those of you not in the know, this is a Nokia (NYSE: NOK) CA-70. Male USB on one end, Male POP port connector and Male Power Port on the other:
This is an iPod charger. Here is the front that plugs in to the wall:
Here is the back, that has a female USB port:
Hypothesis: I should be able to charge a Nokia cell phone using nothing but the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) charger, and CA-70.
Warning: I am not responsible if you break anything, however I would be most grateful if you could scratch this itch I’ve been having in the back of my mind.
didnt work for me
lmfao
it said:
“data enhancement connected”
but no charging sign came up
maybe sum1 else will have more luck?
I wonder if it would be possible to make a usb charger for the phone. I just don’t know a whole lot about electronics. Like the Nokia charger puts out 5v dc, which is the same as usb. So what if you chop a usb cable and put an end on it. That would be an option. Just wonder what other things you would have to do to it, lol. Just a thought
Just found it:

lol
That usb port on that cable doesn’t look like it can charge. The pop ports that can charge or wider to block the charger port. Like this:

That is a pop port charger, so I think you have to use the round plug to charge not the pop port.
Found a couple usb charger.

it should work!! cuse all that is is a power output and i belive that the actuall charger regulator is on the phone it self!
To jump on the bandwagon here, I just got this combo for my E61. Nice and versatile.
