What NatCh said. Sorry I forgot that you were not in the US. The specs on the charger are 5.2-5.4 v and ~1.5 Amps which match up with the Play Station Portable charger. It sounds like a some of the line voltage is seeping past the transformer to the unit and finding a ground through you hand when you touch it. A straight 5.4 v @ 1.5 Amps would not give you a tingle.
