Can you charge a Nokia battery with using a usb cable?

No you can't charge your mobile phone through the usb port using a standard data cable that comes with a Nokia mobile phone.If you want to charge your mobile phone using a usb cable methord then you have to buy a cable that has a separate usb connection and charging plug.Some latest Nokia mobile phones might charge using a standard use cable like with the Nokia n8.Charging via pc, which is called pc charging is not that reliable if compared to charging your handset up using a home or car charger.This is because people have problems getting the phone to charge via pc, like for example sometimes the Nokia phone might charge and sometimes not due to bugs in Nokia ovi suite.Were as with a original Nokia home charger you are more guaranteed the phone will be charged.
