Anyone getting information from Nokia that they will do nothing about this? I have seen a dozen emails on this in the past few days indicating Nokia's stance. They say it is fine, and good social responsibility?
Is there any dispute that leaving the charger plugged in year round wastes less than ten cents of electricity a year. Is Nokia stupid? I don't think they are, so why make a stupid statement like they have on our NiTs? Why channel Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his dumass movie?
FYI- Al Gore has a massive carbon footprint with all of his traveling and speaking engagements (and his house is massive and wastes massive amounts of energy). If he stayed home and skipped one public lecture (filled with misinformation) on global warming, he would save tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands or millions) of times the energy wasted when an N800 charger is left plugged in 24/7.
Nokia chargers are extremely efficient. There is no need to unplug them from the wall. There are many things that can be done to save energy at home and in the workplace that are far more beneficial. Look at the facts and stop posting this silly tree hugging mantra on my N800 screen each time I pull the DC plug from the jack.
By The Way- when the N800 is fully charged but still attached to the AC4U and I pull the AC4U from the wall, guess what the N800 says to me.... it tells me to pull the AC adapter from the wall, yet I already did that.
Please remove this silly message altogether from the next O/S.
