    So I have read the recommendation by BlackBerry to only use the OEM charger but my question is whether I can use my old OEM charger for my Torch? My concern is that the charger with the Z10 is 800 mA and the Torch charger is 700 mA.

    Thanks for your help.

    P.S. This freaking thing rocks!

    It does rock.

    You can use any BlackBerry charge without concern, they will simply charge at different rates (faster/slower) but you do not need to worry about battery damage and other whatnots.

    I use the one that came with the PlayBook. I bought a UK Z10 and it came with a UK standard charger

    EDIT: And Amazon now sells it as a premium charger for the Z10. heh...

    Any microUSB charger will work. Typically only Apple rigs their devices to reject 3rd-party AC adapters. But people will still pay $45 for an HDMI cable...

    Dont look too much at the usb connector.. its a common connector for micro usb.. except iphone and older micro usb...

    check the voltage outputs of any other chargers before hooking/plugging it up to the z10. also check the wire current capacity/speed(1.8A or 780mA).

    If the volage output from the different charger is equivalent to z10s official charger(5.0V), i think you're good to go, as long it has the same micro connector.

    (higher voltage outputs from different charger than recommended may or will damage the battery and may lead to device damage)
