Huh??,
I find that very hard to believe, Ragnar, I was always under the impression that the EU had some of the toughest import laws in the world?

Slightly OT,
I bought a new Motorola cell-phone about a year ago and was at the phone shop having it demonstrated to me by one of the sales staff.
As she was unpacking the thing from the box, I noticed the charger had a UK plug on it. crazy

Now, had this not been a wall-wart set-up, it would have been a simple case of cutting the plug off and fitting an NZ one.

I said to the sales-person, that I needed a proper charger with a NZ plug on it, I was then told that I could go to the $2 store and get an adaptor.

No way, was pretty much my reply and said that unless I was going to get the proper thing, I would look elsewhere for a phone.

I eventually did get the proper charger and had the other one thrown in for "free" (not that it is of any great use to me).

Here it is below:

There is no-where for a fuse on the body of this thing, which I thought was a requirement of the ring circuit system?

All bets are off as to where it is made. frown
