Yes it will Sammy already showed off the back and charging plate

It's got what appears to be five charging pins. Or some charging pins and some pins for something else. Some of the U.S. carriers hid the pins on the N2 in order to disable wireless charging so there's no way of knowing yet who will offer it and who won't.

presumably 2 pins for NFC and 3 for wireless charging

I just don't see the reason for hiding the wireless charging pins, its an accessory you can sell and make money on. Albeit an overpriced accessory that won't fit into standard batter cases but some folks like it.

Thanks guys... I hadn't seen pictures with the back cover off before. Hopefully Samsung will release official Qi flip cases this time

I would think you can get a better deal than that if you're buying those generic brand Chinese ones (which I'll be buying for my Note 2).
Qi pad itself isn't specific to the Note 3. They'll hike the price up when marketing it for the Note 3

The one you listed is a generic brand one.
Here are two more generic at 20AUD

And when the Note 3 comes out you should be able to get a receiver at around ~10$

I haven't bought mine for my Note 2 yet but I honestly don't see why they wouldn't work..
I know for sure though that they're no different than the $60 set you found.

But the real question is did Verizon muck up the wireless charging pins on the GN3 like they did on the GN2?

They mucked up the GN2 to sell more HTC DNAs (which has WC), VZN added WC to the LG2 so there is the possibility they might try something fishy but who knows. I suspect not since they are releasing the device pretty quick.

According to their site (Verizon), the Note 3 will not have wireless charging. Don't know if it says on the Note 3 page, but do a comparison with the Note 3 and G2 and there is an X on the wireless charging category while the G2 has a check.

Wireless charging on note 3
Fcc filings show there is wireless charging. But that only means it is available on the phone. Whether carriers do something to block that is a whole other story. Why they would want to do that is beyond me since that equates to more accessories being sold

Ta da!

Everyone except Verizon I'm sure lol. (It would still fit, just not work.)

USA vs EU

Will there be major differences between the American and European versions? I'm in two minds asking my girlfriend to pick it up from the states or wait till its released here.
Will it need different ROMs, or will they be the same?
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
I don’t see the WiFi versions being different. The I/O Limited Edition supports most languages.
Wifi model will probably be the same, you should get her to get 2 one for you then i buy one haha
Another issue I have is warranty as it will not be covered in the UK
How about power spec and connector? Related to the charger ...

Weigh up the risks. It’s probably worth waiting just a little longer. The choice is yours.

The power spec is the same. But the adapter plug is not for the UK so you will have to buy a Samsung travel adapter which are readily available or use the adapter from the Galaxy Tab if you have one.

I think this is a big issue. There's already reports of touch screen glass coming away from the body for the IO version. If you're an early adopter then you have to accept that you are likely to find flaws/issues that were missed by Samsung's QA team. To take that risk without being covered with warranty is a pretty big gamble.
I'm also from UK and would love to get this device but I'm using the later release in UK as a good opportunity to monitor reports of issues with the device coming from early adopters of regions where it is released early.
looks like 3G might be different

Buying N4 from US to use in UK

Given the price difference, if I buy an N4 while over in the US on business, will it work in the UK on our 3G networks? Are there any technical differences between the two phones (other than the plug for recharging from the wall socket of course!).

No, they are the same, N4 only has one variant. US version is the same as WW version.

OK, great. Would it make a difference to the returns policy if there was a problem with it. Could I return it from the UK to whoever handles it in the UK or is it not a worldwide warranty?
And, is the charger like an HTC one where the plug has a USB socket for the cable meaning I could use my current charger?

It uses the standard micro USB cable but the ac adapter uses a different output voltages. Nonetheless' it will still work.
I think if you will have to sent it back to U.S instead of the UK. I also think you have to return it to wherever you purchased your device.

Edit: And as I post, I notice it is out of stock - errr, whoops.
Yeah, sadly this is a global issue. There are no QI chargers anywhere is seems. I have looked everywhere. There are no Energizer, Duracell powermats. Nothing. I had to order the orb, and am totally happy with it. I did find the Nokia charger at an at&t store but it was loud and pottery much useless. The orb is awesome, how you find one.

[Q] MHL cables to connect the Note 3 to your HDTV through HDMI...

What is the best one for me to purchase? I looked online and they vary wildly in price, and some require external power to even function.
Anyone have some recommendations?

The cable from monoprice "mhl hdmi cable for android phones and tablets" works and doesn't need a power cord, it comes with everything you need including adapters. New here, so I can't post links

Whatever you do, Don't buy the super cheap ones off Amazon. Buy the more expensive Samsung one. I've bought several cheaper ones of Amazon and they always break or have super bad quality. They have "Samsung" branded ones on Amazon for 20$ but then you run the risk of getting counterfeit. I ordered this one straight from Samsung http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA over 8 months ago, and have used it across 3 devices (S3, S4, and Note 3) and haven't had any problems. Good luck!

No problem, glad I could be helpful. Another thing I would recommend is the Samsung smart dock. Found herehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009QW3TBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382314772&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 it has a whole bunch of features. It is a USB hub, MHL adaptor, dock and headphone jack all in one. It's a bit spendy but an amazing little gadget. You can put your phone on it and just plug an HDMI cable straight into it and it works. It's pretty freaking cool.

[Q] Stock LG G2 Charger

Hey guys!
I can't find the charger for my LG G2 D802! I must have misplaced it but I can't find it anywhere.
Since I won't compromise with the quality of the accessories I use for my phone, I want something that's either the original charger or as good as the original charger. In Denmark we don't have the option to buy cable + wall charger from LG directly.
If you post an EBay link - the seller must be located in Europe. Please help me, I'm generous with the thanks button =)
I use my iPad 2 usb charger and it works great. It's a 2A charger so I can charge the phone fast as well.

Maybe just maybe, he meant that you could buy an iPad charger? For sure there are Apple stores in Denmark....
Anyway almost any of the big brands tablet chargers could deliver?
Don't you have something like, try for a week from an eshop? Not good bring it back?

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that opportunity. We actually don't have specific apple stores in Denmark. Besides - if I'm going to purchase something "original" - I might aswell find an original charger Thanks for your great input bro!

Thanks for the link. The ampere and voltage should match the original 100%. Unfortunately, though, it seems like it's sold out :/
I also need the cable. The cable has to be high quality cos flashing stuff/10
Lol i got a quote of 72 USD for an original charger... Denmark.....
I use these guy's products. High quality and very reliable. Good delivery time as well. Only took 5 days to ship from UK to New Zealand.

I bought this cable http://www.dx.com/p/micro-usb-male-to-male-data-flat-cable-blue-150cm-159895#.U47NFzdI3Ns
because its long and seems good and cheap.
Anyway downside of dx.com (not th eEU part) is that you have to wait sometimes a month for the product to get to you.... (luckily after 20 days you can ask them to re-imburse you)
If looking for a charger on this page, or cable or anything... ALWAYS see the one with the most reviews and best rating.
