Nokia’s New Portable Charger Is Oddly Irresistible

It’s normally quite hard to get excited about portable chargers. But, somehow, Nokia has managed to make one that’s… strangely irresistible.

The DC-18 is a neat little primary colour cuboid packed full of electrons. In fact, it looks a little like the live tiles that Nokia’s Lumias sport on their screens — helped along by the fact that the battery status indicator sits on the front of the thing like a little icon itself.

Sadly, it only offers a capacity of 1720 mAh, which means it will only charge your phone once before you have to top it up via its retracting USB cable. But at least it will look nice while you do. There’s currently no word on pricing or availability. [Nokia via Slashgear]
