Would you believe that my Motorola V180 (One North American band plus two World bands, as close to a "world phone" as T-Mobile was selling a couple of years ago) came with a charger rated for 120V/60Hz only? I was able to get a travel charger for about $10, but I don't understand why Motorola/TMo didn't think this was important on a phone with these specs.
