Mobile Phone Charger, One Is Enough!

Mobile phone charger is to be standardised

I’m sure this post would lead to quite a few sympathetic comments. I myself have been suffering the mobile phone charger nightmare ever since me and my girlfriend got more than 4 phones 2 or 3 years back. it often takes me longer than 5 minutes to separate the charger cables , and find them back twisted together the day after…

….ahhh…!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I couldn’t help but shouting out loud while typing this down….

I pray to the lord….

Well, it seems my prayers are being answered …

…sort of…

After the Chinese government recently mandated micro-USB as the future national standard for mobile phone chargers, OMTP (the Open Mobile Terminal Platform), the forum whose members include Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG, announced that micro-USB will be the future common connector for the mobile phones.

“What is micro-USB?”, you may ask.

well, I don’t know, my understanding is that it’s kinda a “Small USB”…which is:

“thinner than the currently ubiquitous mini-USB standard and therefore better suited to the ever-shrinking dimensions of mobile phones and other consumer electronics, was introduced to the world by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) at the start of this year. Like mini-USB, the standard also makes it possible to charge phones from PCs.”

I wonder what it looks like, maybe it’s just like my apple laptop’s usb charger…

Savvy?

  • I like that universal idea
  • I like this idea but I think that companies will not approve such standardization. It  is unprofitable for them.

    I love the idea of public chargers, stsytalking.com and recharge.ie are the agents, but unfortunately there is not enough around, especially when i really need to juice up my mobile.
  • We all have Nokia at home. So a charger is enough for us.
    Mini-USB are the type of port of some digital camera. One side is that port the other is a regular USB.

    We all have Nokia at home and we actually use one chager for all the Mobile Phone.

  • good point, micah
  • Well for me one is surely not enough as i run out of my batteries at any given point of time and some time back i had to run like hell from one place to another and my life was totally dependent on the mobile.Fortunately i had a nokia piece which is quite commonly use so i didnt had any probs

  • USB Datacable of my W810i work as charger when plug in I think you are talking about the same.
  • I have the same problems as you, getting the stupid wires all tangled up when trying to charge my phones. I would absolutely go for one of these when they come out. The problem is...then we'll need new phones to fit the charger. Oh well, eventually it should work out great.
