I'm just wondering if mini USB charges are all the same, or at least interchangable....

I've got a RAZR, Motorola BT headset (both with the Mini USB charging connector), as well as my Blackberry....all the power outputs seem to be the same on the various chargers, and considering you can also just plug any of them into your computer with a USB cable and actually charge them, I wanted to confirm that the device is dealing with the power it receives and charges accordingly, rather than the charger dictating how it is charged.....

it can be an "expensive" experiment should it not go as planned!!

Thanks in advance

Travelling will be easier now....before I had to lug around half a dozen different adapters....I love the "standardization"!

Be careful though. Some manufacturers state they use a "mini-USB" plug, but it's not always the same. e.g., Jabra bluetooth headsets - some of the newer ones claim "mini-USB" but when I called them about it, they said it wouldn't share chargers with the V3 RAZR or V360.
