Upside down
In the Southern Hemisphere you have to hold your phone upside down otherwise you void warrantee. Everyone knows that!
Surely not
Is Nokia, or the company that makes the chargers, aware that NZ power is 240v, not 110?
@Paul Murray
is paul murray aware that most of europe is also at 220/240 including finland where nokia comes from!
