Or maybe not finally. Depends where you live. European Commissioner for Industry Günter Verheugen says that "severe" measure will be taken unless companies in the EU start to do something about all the different cellphone chargers you need. He's just one more person tired of buying a new charger every single time he gets a new phone and frustrated when his previous charger is comlpetely useless when he gets a new phone. He's also concerned about all the waste that piles up because of people tossing out their chargers every 3-4 years. EU cellphone makers don't feel the same way about standardizing their chargers though because of the differences in voltage and battery requirements across the EU. Change comes slowly sometimes....
Maybe if people over their get their chargers standardized, people will demand for that here. I don't know, maybe. No harm in trying.
This picture on the left shows one way that companies are dealing with this multi-charger situation.
Read about this here. (The main story, not that weird multi-charger....)
