Qi chargers

[gmfeld]

Got the ATT 830, the store doesn't sell any Qi charging pads. Any recommendations?

If you can wait...get the DT-903 when it becomes available which might be around the 24th. I plan to get one but for now I just use my JBL MD100w as my primary charger

Thanks, I didn't know, that looks awesome.

The DT-903 looks awesome! I am going to grab it as soon as it goes on sale.

I just purchased this, but have not had a chance to evaluate it yet. The new nokia one looks great, but I don't want the light. I keep my wireless charger int the BR, so that might be a distraction when I am trying to sleep. I have the earlier edition Nokia plates, and they work just fine.

I agree, I still use my DT 900 I got way back with my 920 and it does the job fine. I also use the DT 910 for work and works great. The DC 50 is another option if you want complete wireless charging. I wonder if the upcoming DT 903 will have a quiet mode like Cortana and glance and maybe disable the lights?

Anybody have suggestions for "multi" chargers - i.e. that can charge more than one phone at a time? My wife and I each just got 830s, and it would be nice to have one charging station / location where we could have our phones at the same time, if needed.

For the car if you want something with a holder go with the Nokia CR-200:

(retail: $75+)
Cup holder type Zens Qi:

(Retail $75+)

I'm using the Nokia CR-201 in my car and it's working well with my 830. I hardmounted it to a proclip, the arm/tilt/suctioncup can be dismounted to allow for securing it with screws

Thanks, my question wasn't specific but I was looking for a Qi car charger. The Zens Qi looks like it does the trick.

This was announced back in September. Still shows up on the Microsoft page, but no information on when it will be released for sale.

I decided to go the cheap route - I bought three PowerBot 1020 charges on Amazon for $14 each. They're small, about 2.75" across, so you have to balance the phone on the right spot, but they work great and for the price of one DT-903 you could buy four of these. I have one in the office, one in my kitchen and one in the bedroom. Looking for a car charger, is there anything satisfactory out there that's cheaper than the CR-201?

Nice, I was waiting for proclip to come out with a clip for the 830. Do you have a picture of your setup?

I would like to see that too. How hard is it to take apart?

I just bought three of these. You need to find a power plug or plug it into your laptop etc. $4 per puck, includes a USB cable and they work fine even with a thicker Incipio case on my L830. These seem to be similar to the ones Basiluzzo mentioned above, same diameter and you have to place the L830 onto the puck with the lower 1/3rd of the phone, just so that it doesn't tip down.

These are definitely cheap enough to take apart and design a car charger from them. I will give this a try sometime soon.

Shipping to US takes some time.

Hey Derausgewanderte let us know when you figure out the car charger paradigm! I've been reluctant to shell out the bucks it would take for a CR-201.

got the pucks this week. They are very easy to take apart. One single screw. Sometime next weekend I will use the Dremmel to make an inset for the board. There is enough room and thickness on my car mount to put this on (on paper). Can't beat these for less than $4.

If you want a no-nonsense wireless charger, the DT-900s are going pretty cheap off eBay - just bought one for around $18USD but I've seen them go for around $8-14
