Question
I have a Blackberry Storm that use in England, I am on vacation here in the USA and have forgot my charger, can I purchase and Use a Charger here in the US, concerned about power difference

Answer
Fortunately, the chargers are the same and work on both frequencies. You do not have to be concerned. The plug into the device and the charges are exactly the same with the exception of the plug that goes into the wall. If you have a converter, you will be able to use the US charger back home. It only converts the plug since there is no longer a reason to convert the wattage. All of that is standard now so it works all over the world and the companies don't have to make different chargers for different parts of the world I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
