Problem with the ChargeBox service
I was walking by EasyEverything, the internet cafe, on Tottenham Court Road this evening, when I spied the ChargeBox sign outside.
It read something like ‘Out of battery? Charge your phone here.’
I’ve been looking for an excuse to try it out so I walked in and decided to check my email and stick my drained N90 on charge.
There was a spare ‘Nokia’ locker so I opened it up and set about plugging it in. Unfortunately the N90 has a new smaller power connector — almost half the width of your average Nokia.
Total arse. Couldn’t charge my phone.
Still it will work for the vast majority of people. Just not N90 owners at this time.
Good news for all the new syle nokia users out there! The next generation of ChargeBoxes have all been fitted with the appropriate Nokia N series charger and what’s more, we plan to refit most of the old CB’s with them as well.
