but desktop dock can also charge SIII @@

ya that why I said should be desktop dock @@

no.. that's a wireless charger..
the wire at the bottom of the S3 is a safety alarmed cable to prevent people from stealing

oh ya, forget about that
just go tesco play samsung tablet / phone

the wireless charger, means we just put our phone there? no need to cucuuk any usb?

ya
but if not mistaken the phone need to put above the wireless charging kit
not sure

ya haha, I wonder can charge other phone or not @@
and dunno how it work also
bluetooth, NFC ??
furthermore, is it must put the phone above / near the wireless charging kit to charge the phone ?
if not get powerbank better, lol

I didn't read it properly. Description said it can charge up to 2 devices at 1 go.

Wireless charging is basically like those electric toothbrush. If you have 1, you'll understand why and probably how it works. Shouldn't have anything to do with NFC, but it doesn't negate the idea that power might comes through the NFC antenna (coils?). *shrug*

But if can charge up to 2 devices at 1 go, it's good to go!

You will not need to plug in any cable. That's the reason why it's called wireless charging
Somewhere in the battery compartment area, there should be a winding coil. Another similar coil is available at the wireless charger itself. When both the coils are brought together, the electromagnetic charges the battery..

Quite close to layman term I hope

ya 2 devices using 1 wireless charging kit
well me didn't own electric toothbrush, so really dunno how it works
but, if not do with NFC, then how it work
must get the hand on for it

i think the pebble blue's design will be less obvious if kena scratch provided its a horizontal scratch lol.

what if we just put only battery on top of it, would it charge the battery?

hope samsung will make wireless charging with all possible future models.....not only the s3

or to make it more accurate, make the wireless charging backplate available for more upcoming models

Added on May 13, 2012, 1:40 amthat wouldn't work. because s3 itself doesn't support wireless charging, u need to buy a separate backplate for it

I'm speechless when looking at all of the accessories, darn so attractive ..

Wow I want the red flip cover! To match with my white S3.

Google is your friend.

you can charge other phones on it.....provided if samsung release a compatible backplate for the model

There are a few advantages of having wireless charging over cable:
1) charge without connecting the cable. Sometimes it's kinda difficult to get it in if you are not looking. Especially if you are using cases where it has protector rubber plugs that goes into the usb port on the phone.
2) You can reserve the cable for data transfer/adb related stuff when connected to your phone. Not sure if it would speed up the charging though.
3) usb connector at the bottom of the phone is quite inconvenient, at least for me. I have to use my phone rotated 180 deg. With wireless charging, I can have my phone laid flat in any orientation.
4) no more unplugging the cable if there is incoming call and your charging cable was not long enough. Just pick it up off the charging pad and answer. Put it back and it charges again. How convenient is that?

1) no comment about this. different people got different habits

2) we have wifi transfer for that

3) no comment about this as well. but for me i prefer the port to be at bottom instead of side like my HOX now, feels nicer to hold. and i dun get what you mean by rotate your phone 180 degrees?

4) er i not sure how this will happen. but for most people, if you wanna pick up your phone of course you are close to the phone to pick it up, and if you're able to pick it up, the cable should be long enough to reach your ears as well. unless you got superpower the phone can fly to your hand .

or u might be talking about the scenario where the phone is charging on the floor. this i can understand, because the cable lenght won't be long enough if you wanna stand and talk. but then, since you need to bend down to take the phone oso, y not just sit and talk

and this i'm not too sure about it, correct me if i'm wrong, constantly charging (stop and then charge again in short period) will shorten the batt life


unplugging cable and putting the phone back to dock.....both seems to be an equally "convenient" move for me
