Standard handphone charger soon?

Businessweek reported that an agreement was made in EU for a standard charger for mobile phones. This is a step up for improvement. However result was be shown earliest at 2010. It might even taken longer to be able to have standard charger to other parts of the world. It would be best when consumers would have one charger for any mobile phone. It saves the environment too. While this is happening in EU, I doubt other part of the world might see anything until the standard charger become the standard in their production. Mean time I may not wait for that result which I see will not happen until maybe two years time. If I am going to get my new mobile phone I will try to get from the same brand which have a chance of same charger type.
