It is a standard Nokia plug, just not the old standard Nokia plug. It's been around since before the 770 in 2005, so you might just as well ask why Solio doesn't provide an adapter?

Many generic AC phone chargers come with their equivalent of the CA-44 adapter (mine did), so if you're in the market for one of those, you might save yourself a buck or some.
