Charger compatibility is a big thing. Back in the ancient days, sales men used to tell me to buy a Nokia phone because everyone had a Nokia charger at home. If you bought an Ericsson or Siemens, nobody could help you if you ran out of battery.

Well that didn’t last forever, since Nokia eventually decided to switch to a slim connection, but before that the compatibility was really good.
