I am a proud non-owner of Blackberries. |

What about their batteries, chargers, etc ? I believe
most of the cellphone batteries charge up to 4.3 V.
So why not standardize similar to AA, AAA, CR-39
etc. ? |
|

The whole topic of standardisation for cell phone (and other)
connectors etc is pretty well-worn... |
|
| |
My family's various Sprint phones are now all charged through a mini(? [micro!])-USB port that also acts as the data transfer port. They also all have a standard headset jack. The batteries fail to interchange, but that is seldom a problem (an extra swappable battery with its own charger would be nice, though). |
|
| |
My cell-phone salesperson assures me that all chargers will be mini [micro]-USB in a short time. |
|
| |
//That’d be idiotic// Not from the point of view of the
Marketing folks planning to sell everybody new phones all
over again when micro- replaces mini- as the new standard. |

Happy Christmas. Are you doing your part to support the
economy, by buying as many consumer goods as possible? |

I should have checked. Yes, I meant mini-USB. Which is why I put a question mark. There will be standardization. |
|

No way! I am waiting for pico-USB |
