hey guys, been browsing through this forum for a while but i do have a little problem. I own a nokia n810, bought it when i was working in London UK. I'm back in Canada now....i'm not sure if i need a voltage converter. I purchased couple adapters from walmart because of the England 3 prongs. Do i also need a converter to plug it in?

On the ac adapter it reads
Input AC 100-240V
50-60 hz/100mA
Output DC 5.0v 350mA


I know we use 110V here in Canada but i just want to be careful before i start messing up the device. I don't know much about voltage really so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

That will work fine, but I might add that there is a slight inefficiency from when you use any sort of adapter. It's really a trivial amount, but these sorts of power bricks are usually left plugged in all the time, and hey, a new one is only 5 bucks. EDIT: err... canada dollars

Any power adapter that says 110-240v and 50-60Hz can be used anywhere in the world with a adapter that changes to the physical plug style for the country you're in.
