Nokia had a similar recall many years ago, so I don't think they should be too happy about this news and start to gloat.
I can't remember if those chargers were "blowing up" back then, so I'm certain that any mention of this will be typical media hype - or should I say "sexing up"?
Watchdog in the UK will no doubt have a feature on this and will use every single bit of sensationalism known to man to turn a non-story into the crisis of the year (well episode anyway);
They will have;
- Story of charger blowing up, which could have taken an arm off..
- News that Al Queda are possibly involved. George W Bush might now consider invading Sweden and Thailand for supplying weapons of minor destruction to terrorists.
- Some kid with his/her pre-pay phone that burned his/her finger when touching the charger (actually, it was just warm), has now been scarred for life, cannot get a partner and has failed their GCSEs. When interviewed, the fact that he/she is a fugly, dumb kid that can't even string a sentence together, with no friends, will have nothing to do with it.
etc etc.

I agree with jmcomms!!
Good reply mate!
Well, although i am a nokia fan, this is all bulls.
Although, Orange is not as big as vodafone say, I must say that the charger is direct connected to the phone. There is a special circuitry in each phone, that when the battery is full, it cuts of the power supply. That is maybe the reason that the charger is the same in all ericsson models( I have the same with my T68i), but the internal circuit in each phone is different.Although i don't expect many changes if i compare T300 and T310, let's say.
BUT, I believe, that someone connected the charger to his camera instead of the phone, and blowed up.
This is all bulls.

yup, it's true.
I got a t610 on Wednesday from my local carphone warehouse (Aberdeen)
so I went in about an hour ago with my charger.
They had received an e-mail approx. 10 ins before I came in,
and promptly replaced my old charger that was made in Thailand by Delta
with one that is made in China by Astec.
The new one is called a standard charger CST-13.
The woman said that the faulty chargers could explode and expose the wires
and 'could injure anyone that is close to the charger'
!!!!????!!!!!

As we are talking about chargers, I have one (don't know where it comes from) in my bedroom and I recently noticed, while plugging my fiancee's T39m, that it actually makes noise!..
I mean:
- no noise when no phone plugged
- noise when phone plugged
The noise is like a very high tone whistle, and almost unaudible.
Maybe I didn't notice it before? Maybe it's gonna blow at my face?
Did any one notice the same?
