Major mobile phone makers including Apple, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Research In Motion, Samsung and Sony Ericsson have struck a deal with the European Commission to start selling phones with universal mobile phone chargers starting next year. Chipset makers, such as NEC, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments have also agreed to the deal.
