Nokia has launched the first mobile phones to include alerts encouraging people to unplug the charger once the battery is full, a move to save energy. The alerts will be rolled out across the Nokia product range.



In light of this, we would like to make a little survey. Just how many of you bother to unplug / turn off the power source after charging your phone? Do you tend to just pick your phone up and left the charger there until the next time you need it?

Don't be shy and hit the reply button NOW!.

that's exactly what i do.
never really turn it off.

Yup, thats what I did too.

Nowadays have to unplug mainly because I have two phones with separate chargers. So its kinda being forced to.

i got two plugs.. one for my w900i & the other for s700i.. both are left turn on so that easier for me to charge the phone anytime.. without turning on the switch of course!

I leave the charger plugged in but flick the switch on the socket to the off position, not sure why always done that



Two-thirds sounds a bit high, didn't think phone chargers use that much power when the phone isn't connected. All they need to do is put a little device in the charger that detects when you unplug your phone it switches off so there's no power going through it.

Not good at electronics myself, can you actually detect that?

But in the press release, Nokia did mentioned that by 2010 it aims to have reduced by an additional 50% the amount of electricity a charger consumes whilst still plugged into the mains but not the phone.

I'm no good with them either , but I'm sure someone will find away to do it.

I didn't unplug it before...but last 10 months, I unplug it always

When I charge my phone the night before, I'll take it out of the charger the next morning...
