    Saves plugging a fragile connector into an even more fragile socket. Which has got to be good in the long term, considering how difficult it is to repair a modern phone, and the energy cost of manufacture!

    The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

      What happens if it is face down already? I presume if you flip it around to see who's calling it doesn't do that?

        I was more on the health issue, not on the environmental one.

                I think a localized electromagnetic source whose purpose is to transmit energy must be much more harmful than the Earth magnetic field. The mere fact that the earth magnetic field has been existing for ages means the human being has evolved with it as a constraint, and has adapted. This cannot be the case for small micro-waves oven charging iShits.

                      Yes indeed. i asked my Senior, who owns the lumia 1020 (elephanting cool phone :-D ) if it already is lying face-down you can flip it to see who´s calling and by flipping it again, it quiets down...

                                        Inductive Charging[^] is what you are talking about. It is a good idea but there are some disadvantages too, so maybe not every phone but I would like to see it done in a standard way and adopted widely. (Wouldn't it be nice to set your phone on a table at a restaurant or coffee shop and have it charge it.) Oh, anyone talking about health concerns from the magnetic fields should follow the link and read what this is. (The fields are small and localized. It's NOT some gigantic field to cover your house/office/...)
