IPhone 3G power adapters

OK!!! WTF is going in Cupertino these days???

My last phone was a Nokia. Not that I was very happy with Nokia's, but the fact that i had 5 chargers or so made the choice. One for the office, one for the flat, one for the summerhouse, and plenty of chargers for spare... Then I recieved my Nokia and the finnish people had reinvented the plug. So the result was a pretty bad Nokia N73 (The worst phone ever) with one charger!

So... This phone lasted for one year. It looked like it had been used in Afghanistan or something. It worked like it had been used as a bomb shield in Baghdad. The Apple came by with this fabolous invention called iPhone 3G!!!! Hurray. I got one. Only a week after the official release.. not that bad after all. Along with the phone is one power adaptor. But that is not a problem, because this is my 7th iPod, so i have plenty of power adaptors in the drawers.

NOT

The first power adaptor, which has been working perfectly with iPod 3g, nano and a Touch was inserted. The iPhone was quite polite when it told me that it wasn't compatible and couldn't charge using the adapter. Ok... strange, but i just try another. So i put the iPhone into my craddle which is connected to the stereo...

The iPhone was once again very polite.. "Would you like to keep your iPhone in fly mode?" was the question? WHAT ?? Fly mode ?? Why ?? To not disturb my Iron Maiden collection??

So Apple dudes? Why couldn't the power adapters needed for the iPhone be the same as the ones needed for iPod, iPod touch, iPod nano etc.???

Now, after spending dkk 5500 on an iPhone with a useless subscription (Thankts to Telia) i had to spend another dkk 500 on two extra chargers. I will probably have to spend another dkk 300 to buy a car charger. I haven't tried out the one in my car, but i do not have great expectations.
