Nokia Wireless Charging Plate First Impressions

[upsidedown]

I received my Nokia Plate from Daily Deals. Not sure if it was brand new or not, but I don't really care. Black plate, with black cord, and a rather large (white) power plug. Not sure why it is white but again, it sits behind a desk so I don't mind.

I have a Lumia 928, and one of those eBay TPU cases. I was afraid I would have to take the case off, but it works great right through the case. I couldn't be happier!

My previous phone was a Palm Pre 2 which also had wireless charging so I am a huge fan. Convenient and easy. (Though I wish the Lumia had the magnetic grip of the Palm Pre).

I got the free charger back when I ordered my 920 back at launch. It's my first experience with wireless charging and it's great. I only use the usb port to charge when travelling. I don't I will get a phone that doesn't have it from here on out.

Yeah the wireless charging is great, although as you say, that giant white adapter is a bit much.

I got the Wireless Stand version, which could use a design tweak to lock the phone into place, otherwise it sometimes takes a fast trip to the floor.

There's a vid on YouTube of a guy who integrated the charging plate into his Nightstand so he just puts the phone down on top of the Nightstand and it charges (through the stand material). Very cool.
