“Charger” Articles

During the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vagas earlier this month, hundreds of accessory makers attended to showcase their products for 2011. Amongst the many were Powermat, who provide mats and receivers that allow you to wirelessly charge you device. Hit the jump to find out whats in store for Nokia N8 users.

I believe we’re reached a new stage in powering our mobile phones, with everyone turning more and more ‘green’. The Nokia N900 Solar Charger I’ve found fits just perfectly in this theme, and helps provide an echo-friendly and cost-effective solution for mobile charging. Hit the jump for my thoughts.

Nokia has unveiled a cracking new accessory that can provide free and environmentally friendly electricity to charge your Nokia device. The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit consists of a charger and dynamo, as well as a holder to secure the phone to a bike. When the kit is installed, the dynamo – a small electrical generator – uses the movement of the wheels to charge the handset through the standard 2mm charging jack used in most Nokia mobile phones. With free voice guided navigation also bundled with all the latest Nokia devices, you can guarantee that this handy little number will be very popular indeed.

As our regular readers are probably aware, we had the Nokia E72 during the unboxing challenge set by WOMWorld, but not only did they send us the handset, they also crammed the Nokia Extra Power DC-11 into the package. Now I’ve personally spent quite a bit of money on portable power in the past, and none of the chargers that I have bought seem to make the cut. The huge selection of connectors, adjustable cords, and all the other gimmickry, just made it a chore to have to pack all these little finicky pieces into one bag to carry around. All I wanted was a simple, reliable and compact solution, and I think I may have just stumbled upon the perfect one.

Nokia today initiated a charger exchange program, in which consumers owning certain Nokia-branded chargers manufactured by a third-party supplier are recommended to exchange these chargers for free replacements.
