Or, keep the chargers.. don't buy the phone.
VERY bad experience with that phone.. and I have two.
Latest problem? One cellphone won't charge... and it is NOT the charger (I
have two - tried both.) It is also NOT the battery (again, I've swapped
them).
What it is, is a lousy phone design, and even lousier service (new
protection program takes all techs and replacements out of the store - it is
done entirely through snail mail) ... and replacement phone fee is way too
high - especially since you lose all your ringtones, games, and things
downloaded.
