Nokia has unveiled plans to push wireless charging heavily with the Lumia 930 launch. By this we mean the company will be bundling a free wireless charging accessory with each purchase. It’s a move we expected to see with future hardware since Microsoft joined the Wireless Power Consortium alongside Nokia and other companies.
The DT-900 from Nokia is the popular wireless charger rocking the Qi standard, meaning it can be used with most Lumia Windows Phones that support the technology. The charging plate itself is available over on DailySteals for just $25. The product has been on sale numerous times, but it's always grand to know when you can bag a deal and the more people we can convert to charging...
Qi wireless charging is heavily supported with Windows Phone, especially since Nokia utilises the technology in most of its premium Lumia smartphones.

We recently reported on AT&T's launch page for the Nokia Lumia 1520 and how built-in wireless charging was absent. We noted how this decision would have not been to save cost or a few milometers on the device, but possibly affected by AT&T's involvement with Qi rival PMA (Power Matters Alliance). The company appears to have opted for wireless charging shells instead. While the...

As with the Gibbage cases, the stand is printed by Shapeways.com and comes in a variety of colors. The plastic...
It’s been speculated that AT&T’s version of the Lumia 1520 would, for whatever reason, omit Qi wireless charging.

Last fall, Windows Phone joined the world of wireless charging with the introducing of the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X on Verizon. The feature was met with mixed reviews, but anyone who has used it will testify to its usefulness. It’s a shame devices like the Lumia 925 and 1020 need covers to add the feature. All Windows Phone devices that can charge wirelessly do so by using the Qi...
