If the charger develops a mains-live to one side of the phone 
connector short fault, then any metallic parts of the phone will be 
live. The phone won't be designed to do 110v or 230v isolation, 
that's the charger's job - but if that fails Š

In lower grade kit even a mis-wiring of the mains socket could 
contribute to the likeliness of a shock.
