X10 only works with SE charger?

---

I have two 230V to USB-chargers from Sony Ericsson and they charge my X10 like they should. But when I use Apples charger for the iPhone (with SE's USB-cable, of course) it won't charge the phone at all. I've tried another charger but to no avail. And my car charger won't work either.

So, my question is: Why doesn't it work? It worked perfectly with my X1.

How Many mA has the original Charger and how many the others?

The original charger has 700mA output and the iPhone charger has 1000mA output. So there SHOULDN'T be a problem. But it doesn't work at all.

It's not mAh you should be looking at, that's irrelevant. What's more interesting is what voltage it is. Maximum allowed as per the microUSB standard is 5V. So the Nokia charger i have around(5v/1200mAh) charges the X10 just fine And it's alot faster than the 700mAh SE charger of course - BUT - it gets hotter of course

Well yeah, but the iPhone carger is rated at 5V 1A.

Then Apple, being Apple, have made it non-complaint. The Nokia chargers we have here at the office(micro USB) all work just fine.

Weird. Because it works with my X1.

I thought usb2 specified 500ma (@5v) tops per port? didnt think you where allowed to pull more! guessing a 1000ma charger could be split to charge several devices at once?

Possibly. But I think the chargers are rated higher for faster charging.

The ports on the PC are rated 5V/500mAh - but the chargers can be higher for faster charging as Flamso pointed out.
