I've just had a look and they have <a href="http://www.e2golimited.com/adaptors.html" rel="nofollow">hubs or attachments</a> for most phones and devices (including Sony, Samsung, etc). Quite useful. Also, I noticed when I was at Britomart last year they had a kind of kiosk where you could put in some coins and charge your phone for 10 mins. It has plugs for all the popular phones. It was on the top floor near Subway.
