The world's biggest mobile phone makers and network operators have backed plans to create a universal phone recharger.
Most manufacturers now produce chargers which work only with their own devices.
The re-charger will consume 50% less stand-by energy than today's cables, the GSM Association (GSMA), an umbrella group for the industry, said.
Firms to back the plan include Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG, T-Mobile, Orange, 3, AT&T and Vodafone.
The majority of new handsets will support the re-charger by 2012.

Wonder if it'll be an all-new port design, or a manufacturer's existing one(a la Sharp in Japan)??

I have a charger of this kind at my possesion. I will post you the pictures tommorow if not today.
Here is a description of what I have:
Its a two pin charger which its base comes as a universal charger every batter when detached from the phone.
2. The base has a USB port that connects a USB cable.
3. The cable at the end has pins which connect to different phones.
I use it to charge my motorola v360, my nokia n73, nokia 3310 and an LG c1100.
