Especially with something like a mobile phone. However having said that I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority don't roam with their phones as it is 'too expensive'.

Even then, it would be wasted on the holiday crowd in Europe as Europe is 220v anyway.

In fact I can only think of Japan and North/Central/South America, Carribean which is 110v. Places all of which require either 1900MHZ capability or 3G.

My less than one month old Nokia E70 shipped with a dual voltage charger that worked fine in 110V a couple of weeks ago in Vermont.

Maybe as Shuttle-Bored says, as it's a business orientated handset it ships with a dual voltage charger, but the consumer ones don't?
