playbook charger in the UK
does the playbook come with the US style new blackbox charger ?
mine came with a std BB microUSB charger ... is this right ? |
Re: playbook charger in the UK
Mine came with a folding blade travel-type charger, but not the standard one. BB chargers will not charge a PB. The PB charger will charge BBs much faster than the standard one.
What's a blackbox charger? |

No. A US 110-115v style plug.

Re: playbook charger in the UK
What???? I am in the US. I guess I should have been clearer, but here in the US we (I) received a travel-type charger with the PB I purchased in the US.
I suppose I misunderstood the OP and thought they were asking about the charger US purchasers got. That is also why I asked what the "blackbox" charger was. I was trying to say I got a PB charger, which is different from the "standard" BB charger. At least here in the US it is different. I wouldn't call it a blackbox, but the shape is more like a box. It still has the folding blades, which is typical of travel chargers. I hope this is clearer, but I suspect it will not be.... |

How discharged was it and how ling did it take compared to the PB charger?
Using a BB charger should kind of be like a trickle charger due to higer power needs of the PB. At least that is what we have been led to believe. When I use the PB charger to charge my BB I would guess it is at least 25-30% faster than the standard BB charger, if not more. |

I have since purchased the PlayBook Rapid Charger (not the one with the dock, because the PlayBook won't dock in that when inside a case) which uses a different magnetic power input port on the PlayBook rather than micro USB. Charging is much faster. You can find out more about the accessory chargers here. |

I am pretty sure the playbook is new, but I think the supplier opened it, took out the US charger, and replaced it with a standard BB charger I have asked them to send me the one with the yellow tip. I will probably get the reapid charger though like you rgds |
Re: playbook charger in the UK
I also purchased the PB with a case and a rapid charging dock in one go, not knowing it was a PB from the states. Will my rapid charging dock be ok to use with the US playbook?
