I use a nokia and an Ericsson handset, i bought one of these USB phone chargers and leave it connected full time with no Battery, Just remember if your power down the machine you need to swich the phone on quite quickly.
>What do you mean by burn? Explode, the way an Amsterdam woman's phone did a month or two ago? I doubt it. The main problem with using a real mobile phone as though it were a GSM modem is the fact that you're running off battery power. Leaving a phone on 24x7 plugged into the wall socket will ruin the battery, certainly. For testing purposes, or in the interim you should be okay, but don't do this for extended periods of time unless you can afford to switch handsets and batteries every so often.
