Shop around! What is most annoying is that the phone rejects charge from USB when the battery is low :( Surely that's when you most need it. My guess is that the 5v from USB doesn't have a current limiter like a good charger would so with low battery you get high current and that makes it fall over. I got mine for 99p of ebay. Shop around!
