European BlackBerry mini and micro USB chargers usually come with interchangeable ends for UK, Euro and US power outlets.
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. |
thanks for verifying that
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
