    If you only carry one carry the PB charger. It has more then twice the output of the phone charger. The PB charger is also sold as a premium charger for phones.

    The playbook charger will charge both devices...it will charge your phone much faster than the usual charger.

    You can use the phone charger to charge the PB, its only going to take a lot longer. However dont use the PB charger to charge ur phone, it will damage the phone over time, if not right away, as the output is way higher for the phone to handle.

    I've been using the pb's charger with my phone for months, maybe since May without any issues. I got the rapid charger for the pb.
