Certainly- prior to my relatively recent (2+ years) foray into WinMo
phones,I was a dedicated Nokia snob. I had, over 15 years, a Nokia 100, 101,
232, 2160, 5120, 5160, 5190, 6120, 6190, 8260, 8290, 6610, 3560, 6010,
3650, 3620, and 6030.

Those SEVENTEEN phones, spanning WELL over a decade, only used TWO
different chargers amongst them! (Good thing too- my wife tends to lose
chargers on various business trips at a rate of two or three a year. I now
keep the cheap eBay "ships from Hong Kong" mini-USB charger sellers busy!
