Many of us are very frustrated by the many different cell phone chargers and adapter out on the market today. We have probably all bought a new phone and seen the specific phone charger that comes with it. It is actually downright rediculous that each cell phone has a different port and is not standardized. The reason that it’s even a problem is because if you forget your specific charger when you travel or are out on the road, you are pretty much dead in the water.

Well as of late there have been some cell phone chargers that have been switching over to USB technology. The nice thing is that these USB chargers are nice because you could take your cord anywhere and plug it into a computer and be able to charge your phone. The downside is that the actual end of the cord that fits into the phone is still not standardized. Even though the cord is USB on the power end, you still have to buy the specific cord that fits in your phone.

The main reason that phones have different port sizes on the actual phone is mainly determines by their design and size. Honestly how hard would it be for these phone companies to just make a standardized port on the phone? It wouldn’t be hard at all, but the phone companies know they can maximize profits by making people buy a specific cord for the phone. The stupid thing about this whole phone charger thing is that these phone companies give you the charger you need with the phone when you buy it. Its when you need to replace the chord that costs you the money to buy that specific cord. Where companies are giving you the charger to begin with, why not just make it standard?

Computers used to have many different ports that were specific to each make and brand of computer. With enough time; however, these computer companies did standardize the ports with the use of USB technology. Now you can buy a mouse or keyboard without having to worry if it will work with your computer. This would be the dream of cell phone users to have a cell phone charger that works with any phone.

It is only going to be a matter of time before the cell phone makers will do the same thing. The thing to remember is that the computer world did not make the changes until they got enough complaints to actually make the change. I’m not trying to rally up a revolution, but we need to raise our voices to these bigger companies and express the frustration. Nothing is ever going to change unless they know that their consumers are upset about their products.

We all love cell phones and find them extremely useful. I have nothing against the cell phones on the market, only with the way the manufacturers make us buy specific cords to charge them. With enough complaints we can force the change.
