Charger question
 

Hey guys,

Can I use a North American charger to charge a phone that was bought in China? I have a Nokia device that I bought in China but lost the charger. I had to use an adapter in order to use it here.

My friend has a Nokia charger from his old phone that he bought in Canada, so just wanted to know if I can use that.

Thanks!

Should work, as long as it's the right connector and voltage.

That's the thing though, is the voltage going to be the same? My phone is from China, his charger is from Canada.

The *output* voltage of the charger would be. Most now are designed to charge off USB, which is 5VDC. Most adapters now are regulated PWM-switching types, which will take input voltages anywhere from 100-240VAC.

A bigger problem with the Nokia would probably be whether the two use the same physical connector... AFAIK, Nokia is one of the few that HASN'T moved wholesale to USB charging jacks and still use their own designs, and from the Nokias I've had in the past, they seem to like to change the connector every couple of model years.

Either way, if the connector fits, you should be fine.
