Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

Greeting, fellow Tableteers,

Congratulate me! :D I have just ordered my Nokia 770 from Amazon, to be shipped via a buddy in Ohio to my home in Melbourne Australia.

Help me! :eek: I've just realised that
1/ Its going to have an American mains plug, and
2/ America runs on 110v electricity (I think) and Australia runs on 240v :confused:

I can get a plug adaptor from U.S. to Australian, but it won't change the voltage...if I plug it in, will i fry it? And if so, how do I get around this dastardly dillemma?

Your sage wisdom and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

Yes you can. Adaptor input is 110-240V

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

I have a UK one that came with a US plug. One shaver adaptor for less than a quid and all is ok - like most electronic things the voltage is really wide

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

Thanks guys. So tablerat, what mains voltage does the UK use?

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

UK voltage is 220/240V.

An update, tableteers! Just got an email back from Nokia USA, and they inform me I can charge the little blighter with the Nokia AC-4 charger (which I'm assuming is the one it comes with, I'm checking!) and a plug adaptor.

W00t!

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

Well, you can indeed - that is what I have.
Well, I also have UK adaptors as well, they are the same but with a different plug (same PSU as the n73).
UK voltage is 230 +10/-6% (ie, used to be 240 but we have harmonised with europe who were 220V - they now have 220 +6/-10% :) )

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

Excellent!

Thanks to all for their help and advice. Counting down till the mailman gets here....

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

Probably a typo.. All europe now has 230V.

Re: Nokia770 and overseas voltage
 

yes - I meant 230 +6/-10%
