There is a good news for all the mobile phone users,which ever mobile you have,Now you would be able to charge it anywhere using any[ 10 companies] mobile chargers .Mobile phone users will be able to charge multiple handsets 
using a single plug, after manufacturers agreed to adopt the Micro USB standard for universal charging .
Ten companies, including Apple, LG, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, have submitted a Memorandum of Understanding to the European Commission pledging to start making phones that can be charged using a single charger.The Mirco USB charger would be more energy efficient than current mobile chargers and so far this step has been welcomed by all the companies after repeated pressure by the European Commision to lauch a common charger for all the mobile Phones.
Every Mobile from next year ( from these 10 companies) would have a special micro USB slot which would be used for charging.Since this slot would be common in every mobile(starting next year),this would not only promote reusability of the chargers but would also result in lesser electronic waste .
“By supporting this industry initiative on common charging solutions, and enabling consumers to choose if they need a charger with every new device or can reuse existing ones, we can contribute further in improving the industry’s environmental footprint,” said Mitti Storckovius, a senior director at Nokia.[Source:Telegraph]
