(More customer reviews)This is a great way to charge my Blackberry. I was reluctant about paying $40 for a charger, but fortunately I found this one on sale for $19. It barely adds anything to the weight or dimensions of the phone, and doesn't get in the way of my belt clip. I just drop the phone on my powermat at the head of my bed when I go to sleep, and when I wake up my Blackberry is fully charged. I can also pick it up easily during the night to complain about the work emails I get after hours, and then plop it back down and try to go back to sleep. The wireless charging means there are no cords to wrap around my neck when I am too tired to realize what is going on.
I didn't understand how it was going to charge my phone at first; I understand the basics of magnetic induction but didn't see how it would interface with the phone without doing something weird to the battery or plugging up the charging port. Apparently there are 2 little contacts on the back of the phone that I never noticed before, presumably for some kind of dock or ridiculous charging station or something. The new battery door covers these 2 contacts and uses them to charge the phone. I didn't have to replace or even remove the battery so it was a lot less intrusive than I imagined.
