You are probably comparing Nokia's AC-3 (the "Compact Charger", usually bundled with mobile phones) and the AC-4 (the "Travel Charger", the one bundled with all Nokia Internet Tablets). The AC-3 is smaller, but it outputs a 2x lower current than the AC-4. Google provides some anecdotic evidence that charging the battery with an AC-3 takes twice as long: http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=21453 Marius Gedminas -- Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics. -- Fletcher Knebel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
