Re: US Nokia 6600 & UK charger

No the US charger was left behind, as you rightly say you can't use a mains
device without the respective step up / set down.

However I was working on the assumption that a charger would be only output
the current the phone needs. Given both my finacees and my phone appear to
need the same voltage, I was proposing to charge her US phone but use the UK
charger. (I'm in the UK by the way)

Obviously if its a boom situation, then its a new phone methinks. Er without
having to go through the boom bit!

Thanks for your input, most apreciated
