I want to know if anyone makes an adaptor that has a female Nokia
6230-type socket (approx 4mm?) and a male Zire 72 plug (approx 3mm?)
So I can use my Nokia chargers (of which I have seven now) to charge my
Zire 72. The voltage should be OK, and the Zire has an overload
protector anyway, and I'm pretty sure the polarity is the same.

Anyone make such a thing?

I got a 9v emergency charger for my Tosh e750 from Proporta that has a
removable adaptor that takes a nokia charger lead. it seems they do
similar for palms.

I e-mailed proporta and they said they did not make the adaptor (Nokia
charger to Palm Zire 72). Can you clarify what you have? Is it a 4mm
female to 3mm male?
Many Thanks
Alan

It's actually the 9v charger. It takes a 9v pp3 battery but the
adapter that plugs in to the pda can be unplugged from the main body
and will accept the standard nokia charger. You'd have to buy the
whole thing as I doubt the adapter is available as a separate item.
The adapter for my Tosh steps up from Nokia's 3.5mm?(female) to the
slightly larger Toshiba male. From the look of the above link though
it may plug into the sync port for your Zire.

OK.
Actually the product you provided a link to is for the old-style
"Universal Palm COnnector" which is now not so universal.
My equivalent product would be this:
http://www.proporta.co.uk/F02/PPF0 [...] t_mode=des
but the picture is wrong. Time to e-mail proporta again I think.
Thanks

The pictures are not always accurate. The item you linked to appears
different to the 9v adapter I have and so I would not expect it to
accept a Nokia lead.

Good luck

If you have no luck with the socket you could try what I ended up
doing with my Jabra charger when the pin broke.(Same size as Nokia)
Check out your local Poundshop for the emergency phone charger. The
adapters usually plug into a Nokia size socket which you can remove
and connect whatever plug you need for the Zire. It's not as tidy as
the other adapter but if it works for you....

Glad you got it sorted. If you ever find somewhere to get just the
adapter let me know as the one for the Tosh e750 also fits my mp3-cd
player and a couple of other gadgets I have.

Sounds like it has the same sort of adapters as the 'emergency
charger' I got from the poundshop - male nokia to male. Still looking
for more of the adapters like the one with the PP3 keyring charger.
