i've had a quick search and couldn't find anything...

...anyway - is there any difference in recharging times depending whether the phone's plugged into the mains or into a usb slot?

i suspect not, but has anybody already done the experiment?

if not, i'm up for it - i'm just lazy and didn't want to reduplicate inventing the wheel. :(

Quicker by using the mains. usb takes much longer. Tried and tested :(

This is a subject that's made me do a lot of thinking, but still can't work it out fully! See my post from a while ago: Battery life observations

In short, USB charging takes much longer but also lasts much longer, can sometimes get more than 3 days out of a charge, mains charging can run out in under 24 hours.

USB charging takes lot more time than mains chargin, but also battery will last much longer if charged from USB. So if you have time to charge I suggest to use usb.

I'd agree with that as well - I tend to charge mine overnight using a powered USB hub, and usually get up to three days from it.

I have two Nokia chargers from my previous phones and I need to use them, because I couldn use UK charger here in Czech Republic (not compatible socket).

The first charger has 300mA charging current and the second is 500mA. I bought 2mm Nokia plug to microUSB reduction. When I charge with lower current, my Blade lasts for 6 days when I am not using it much. And with 500mA charger it is going down much faster. :(

the output of main charger is 700 ma
