In case of Nokia chargers the compatibility is given by the first three characters in the model name (ie AC-5 check Nokia Europe - Accessories - Chargers), the last character E or X denotes the pin-out for the charger. E stands for Europe and I believe X stands for middle east. We get both kinds of chargers here in the UAE and both work fine.

Thanks for your reply. The phone comes with Nokia AC-5X (3 pin) and problem is here in europe all sockets in my home has 2 pin !!

My brother has nokia n95 that purchased it here that uses Nokia AC-5E (2 pin).By Comparing the specification of orginal charger with Nokia AC-5E (2 pin) charger can i use Nokia AC-5E (2 pin) charger without causting any damage to my phone ?

GSi-R my phone has no charge now so i can't check it now !! When i opened the box it had charge for few hours!!

Yes. You can. AC-5 chargers come with different pin-outs so that they can be used with ease in the countries where they are originally sold. As your N-95 was purchased in Dubai, it comes with AC-5X which can fit the wall jacks as per UAE standards, while your brother's nN-95 was bought in Europe so it comes with AC-5E which is suited for wall jacks in Europe. There is no difference in the output voltage or current of both the chargers and both can safely be used with either of the phones.

In fact I got AC-5X with my phone which I use in UAE and purchased another AC-5E to use as a travel charger when I visit India or Europe.

psarna many thanks for your help. I read the written specification of both
chargers which is written on front each charger. I posted the specification below.
As you see the current of input voltage is different for each charger.Do
you think there is still no problem to use AC-5E charger?
Furthermore, How about if i find an adapter that changes 3 pin to 2 pin
and i be able to use original charger AC-5x here in europe ? Is such adapter
exist ?

Well as I said its not the input rating which matters its the output rating and they are identical for both the chargers, so go ahead and use AC-5E.

If you can find an adapter well and good, use it, else use your brother's AC-5E. In case you need a charger of your own and you are not able to find an adapter, just go to any Nokia shop and get another AC-5E for yourself.
