Has anyone heard anything new on the wireless charging? Just wondering if we have to purchase that afterwards. Would love to have that feature

Wireless charging is included inside the phone. But it won't work without the wireless charging dock. Which is still not available. And no price has been announced yet either

Since the Nexus 4 uses Standard Qi wireless charging, I suggest going onto amazon and buying a Palm Touchstone wireless charger.
I am under the assumption the wireless orb originally made for this product will be extravagantly more expensive in comparison to the Palm Touchstone.
I ordered mine off Amazon for around $5.30 with shipping and tax and it arrived 3 business days later.

the Palm Touchstone wireless charger does not comply with the QI standard and therefore does not work with the nexus 4, as per:

I thought it won't work with the touchstone per androidcentral

I'm pretty sure I've read from somebody who has the N4 and the touchstone, they don't work.

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I was under the impression the Touchstone charger was Standard Qi
Yeah the Palm Touchstone doesn't work. Sounds like you wasted time and money

I did the same thing with jumping the gun on some touchstones. Not a big deal as I'm doing the wireless charging palm mod to my Gnote 2. I also picked up the PowerMat 2 position with powercube on amazon for like $20 or something. I'ts QI compliant and should work with the nexus 4. If not I'm giving up lol

According to powermat's online chat tool person powermat's format is NOT qi compatible. Dont feel bad, I bought one of the powermat pads hoping it would work too and returned it already.
The LG 700 mat sold by verizon IS, along with energizer qi pads.

I think official products are there.
And this works, but a bit pricy:

As well as Nokia's set of new chargers, which also are pricy.

I found a few on ebay that are 6.5 feet long i ordered one it was $10.50

$14.95 official Acer charging kit at Walmart.
If you trust your soldering skills, it's quite simple to fix it.
I got two off ebay. A set that came with a wall and car charger for $10.50, free shipping.

for $16. Steve is a very reputable dealer and a fast shipper.
Mine got bitten up by a dog. Anyone wanna sell me theirs? Thanks!

Have a spare, sent mine back twice and got a charger each time.
i have an extra one
Go buy a charging dock from Verizon. It includes a standard charger and they are on clearance right now for $9.97. Even if you don't use the dock it'd chapter than just buying the charger which for some reason is still $30. I also heard Staples had Xoom accessories on sale for super cheap.

ebay has plenty. I bought a non OEM one for $10 (they included a car chager as well). also bought an official moto one of ebay for $8 this past week as a backup.

I have one but it probably wouldn't be worth it to you by the time shipping costs are included. As stated, just go to a Verizon store and get one for 10 bucks.

Got one from the vzn store!! Thanks man. Dock for $15 and leather folio case for the same price

I know the OP was able to grab what they needed from Verizon, but for others who may be looking, another option is the HD Speaker Dock. If you can FIND one, they're going for $20 new from Verizon as clearance (prolly to make room for the Xyboard accessories). I went in person to a VW store and lucked out, getting the last one they had. I don't think (not willing to try it) you can plug the more powerful power source straight into the Xoom itself as an alternative to using the dock, but I have to say having the HDMI port in the back of the dock and the speakers is pretty nice, at $20 a pop.
I picked up a couple at a local Staples for $1.50 each. I have one extra I don't really see using.
If you're local in central CT I'd happy to give it away to someone who would use it.

For $89.99 wouldn't be expecting too much more.
I'm stuck between either going for the 16GB or getting the charging dock (I presume it would be $50ish) with the 8GB.
What are you guys going for?

Extra space....can always buy a charger later. It's a lot harder to change your phone.
Extra space, I don't care in the slightest about the charging dock.
If you want a cheap wireless dock just get the HP Touchstone on amazon. It's going for around 5-10$. That way you can get BOTH!
If it's a choice, extra space, but I'm hoping to get both

Yep. It has Qi as its standard same goes for the Nexus 4.
Charging dock, because it looks cool, and you get bragging rights among your friends that own that "other" smartphone.
Extra space, the charging Spock can be purchased later, plus the touchstone might work.

The one never-msrp was selling is the HK version. It has the Asia/Europe AC adapter. The seller did include an adapter so I can use it in North America.
I'm not too worried about it, I was thinking of getting a NA charger as a spare so I don't have to deal with a big Euro/Asia AC plug even thou I can use it.

I sent a email to the seller ask if it was included ,the seller replied no.
Still a very good deal for someone don't want the earphone and dock.
I got mine from them and it came with magnetic dock, noise canceling headphones and US charger. Some others also got the same, others didn't since they get them from various markets.
At that price who cares which extras you get if any.

But in the package includes the charging dock,but without noise-cancelling earphone.

Probably depends on when you ordered. I ordered from this seller a week or two ago and got the noise cancelling earbuds and flip case, but no dock.
I ordered mine the last time they had this sale. It does indeed include the DK36 Magnetic dock.
With all these Z2s with defects, I wouldn't risk buying off ebay.... Just saying.

Yes it does include a magnetic dock.
-------------------------
As per the noise cancelling headphones, they are a bit overrated from speaking with a Sony rep at the store since it's not that good. He pointed out, by spending a little more money, you can get better Sony headphones which they carry.
Funny some say it comes or doesn't come with the magnetic dock. The seller I think often doesn't know what is/is not included in these phones.
The ebay listing says the following is included:
Sony Xperia Z2
Headphones (not Noise Canceling model)
MicroUSB Cable
Main Charger
Documentation
I could care less about the dock and would much rather have the noise canceling earphones. Phone shipped out today and will be here Friday; I'll let y'all know what I end up getting in the box and what build date/run it is as some have asked for this.
