I think Nokia and Microsoft have blown it

[smoledman]

what do you mean? Yeah i've always been averse to the touchstone thing, but it never bothered me because i've never been forced to get it, but it now seems Nokia is really pushing it to be a solid part of their phone. And it looks relatively expensive (that part).

I'm saying there's little benefit, if any, of using this wireless charging as opposed to normal plug-in charging. Imo, as i said before, its actually more inconvenient (more accessories= more chance of losing it/damaging it, therefore more money involved)

Maybe you don't mind plugging the device in every single time, but I sure as **** do! The dock accessory is going to be very nice at work!

Your posts about this are so ridiculous that I have to assume you're joking. Otherwise, well, I'm glad you're not within arms reach...

It comes with the USB cable!

They didn't waste R&D on it... Fat Boy makes the accessories. All they did was include the inductive charger in the device... as an option, meaning, NOT mandatory.

But it's your last point that really surprised me...

OMG! WHAT EVER SHALL YOU DO?! THE HORROR!! THE HORROR!!! You're using up a wall socket for the accessory that would have also been used up by a power adapter connected to the USB cable! OR, and brace yourself, because this is a DOOZY, but you could just plug the other end of the USB cable (for the accessory OR the phone) into a USB port on a ****GASP**** computer!!!!

Wow. I just can't leave this one.
First of all i know it will come with a USB cable. I was taking the mickey out of the other guy cause he said I could always "BUY myself a charging usb cable". I then said "And if i have to buy a separate usb cable as you mentioned, oh man." Surely for someone who uses sarcasm like the immature spastic you were portraying, that'd be easy to pick up.

Thank you. all you had to say was this: "as an option, meaning, NOT mandatory". Because i couldn't find any information myself that it wasn't.

But in your last paragraph, it was hard to see your point through the way you carried on. I'm saying a wall socket will be used regardless of whether it is a 'wireless' charger or not. Therefore, there's no advantage for the 'wireless' charger in that respect. (another thing. if you have to go travelling, tahts another bulky item to pack in as opposed to just the cable and adapter). You're saying... the same thing. So i guess i'm happy that you agree with me.

I don't think they have yet. MS can show off WP8 [When do they plan on doing this] and have all their partners there to show off their phones. It it wasn't for the comparison charts that started coming out after HTC presentation, I would have forgot that Samsung even announced a phone.
