Really, what do they do ? Do they put them in their panties while vibrating ? You Indians.

Now that you have come to know this????
3 years back when I owned a Nokia 5500, with BL 4C battery with smaller pin charger, forgot the charger
I was charging its battery on my Mom's Nokia 1100 with BL 5C battery with the older and bigger charging pin.
Dude, you go to India, you cannot even imagine what people do with their Nokia phones

I've even managed to boot up a panasonic using a nokia bl5c battery. I found the econ thing on a bus but the battery was flat and i couldn't find a charger. The pins on the phone hardly lined up, but i kept them in place long enough for the phone to boot up. This makes of wonder if i could adapt a smaller battery to my old 3300 which uses a very old type of battery...

The above posts about usb charging would explain my problems with my n85 and why my n70 does not have the same issues.

I have a question on chargers Lets take Nokia, Say I have a charger at 5V 800mA which is supplied with my Nokia phone A. Another charger 5V 400mA supplied with Nokia phone B. What is the harm in interchanging these chargers with the different phones?

Reminds me of the good old days when I used to use BL-6C batteries in my 6600 and 6630 as it provided more battery life than BL-5C, but it didn't fit when I bought an N70 as BL-6C was thicker and I couldn't close the back cover.
It seems to me that this problem is caused by USB charging mechanism, it needs power to function.

Thats the camera bug. If the cam app is closed by the lens protector the power consumption of the device stays at 1W. Only if you close the cam app manually by clicking exit its ok...

Check battery voltages first
Be sure to check the battery voltage and current first. not all phone batteries are created equal.
I tried my sister's Nokia 7610 battery into my Nokia 6233 once as a geek experiment but didn't work. Glad it didn't toast the phone though.

Fair points guys. I only gave it 15 minutes or so, I think, before I gave up and went for the lateral thinking approach. If it happens again then yes, leave it longer.
Charging time is also long - it's taking five hours or so to fully charge this N86 from scratch. Ouch!

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned in relation to this article, but... this is a generic trait of phones that use USB derived charging sockets!
I had this explained to me once accurately from someone who knew (and worked at the time for a major phone manufacturer) - essentially though, when using USB to charge, the phone needs a certain amount of power in the battery BEFORE it can even POST (boot in English) enough to turn the screen on.
The basic rule is, as people have said... leave the charger attached to the phone, EVEN IF it appears to be doing nothing - sometimes (Sendo & Motorola phones were bad for this, along with early HTC devices) they can take 30 minutes or MORE before they'll turn on!
Oh, and as far as this article goes - swapping batteries out is OK, IF and ONLY IF, the voltages are the same. Even then though, the currents may not match, so this should ONLY be done in an emergency!

I concur with the first post...
I have OFTEN had very dead batteries that don't do ANYTHING in terms of appearing to charge, and giving the tell tale beep, until sometimes after five, and even TEN MINUTES, of being connected to the charger.
PLEASE ALL (and Steve) bear this in mind before risking any potential electric shock, or device damage, swapping batteries around...?

In the middle east lets just say we have varying current and voltages I have learnt NOT to let my n85 go completely flat. If it does then sometimes only a true 240v supply will bring it back on line. This does not apply to my n70 so maybe these newer batteries have an issue ?

old nokia phones didn't use to work with exchanged batteries. Had tried unsuccessfully with my n-gage qd once. Newer one's do work. Even if the battery doesn't fit verically in the other phone, i have charged it while keeping it pressed into its position with my hand
