That's awesome.

wow this is pretty sick. ill def be getting. Im very happy i didnt buy the original powermat now. and $70 is a lot better of a price than $100 +$30 cases

I am a current PowerMat user with a backing for my personal Tour 9630 and Work Curve 8330. Sucks that I forked out the cash for the backings but this is pretty cool news!

Think they'll offer a discount if you had already purchased a backing?

Finally a power receiver for the 9700 I hate using the universal cube WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Cool! I wonder if it will work if you have a case/skin on the Berry? And, if it will work, I wonder how thick the case/skin can be before it will not work.

Will they be making it for the 95xx series? I sure hope so!

This may just make me think of getting this. Although I have the charging dock for my Tour so I am currently getting wireless charging. Oh and I saved $30 to $40 dallars from what the video said this would cost.

Freaking kool!! I want one now!! lol...this is a much better solution!!! and reasonable cost!!

I've got this system for my iPhone, wife's iPhone, iPod touch and my kids' nintendos. I'd love this caseless battery pack for my Storm 2. I'd buy two single unit charging stations, too.
Hope they come to market before June like he said in the video. 6 months is a long time to wait.

nice! looks like a great candidate for a contest once these babies become available. i'll be buying one regardless!

Hey, the YouTube video flash control covers up your site's navbar menu.

It's a cool idea to integrate the wireless charging goodness into the battery itself. But, unless they can do magic or have new improved battery, the additional wireless charging circuits will take up some volume. That means, the actual battery portion will be smaller -- less capacity. Well, if the reduction of capacity isn't too great, it's not a major issue for most users who charge their phone daily.

This is one of the best charging alternatives that I have seen. I am assuming you can still charge up the "old fashion" way if you don't get back to your powermat in time? I can see this being the grand prize in an upcoming contest........

guess i'm one of the few people who is happy with it the blackberry charging pod. the powermat is cool but seemed like a $100 solution to problem i solved with $12.

this is awesome..I"m so happy I waited. Still uses oem battery door....blood brilliant.

I'm def picking one up

Just totally made my day

But how is this any better than plugging in to the wall with the oem charger?

Now I really want to buy it for my BB 9700! June, hurry up and get here!!

I like this setup a lot better than the fist one but if it was like the charging cradle I would get it in a heart beat. June is a long time off I may change my mind.

Hey Kevin, are you excited? LOL!

I have to admit that I wasn't very excited about their current offerings, but THIS looks AWESOME! The price isn't bad either (same as OEM)...and I'm glad they have the small mat...that will fit on the bedside table!

Now that is crazy smart. Why add an adapter when you can just replace the battery and keep the BB looking sleek! Gotta get one in June!

i'm ecstatic!!! i was going to buy the power mat today but screw that i think this is worth the wait!!! unless you were able to steal one then i'd be willing to buy that ;)

So your going to spend $70.00 to unplug your OEM charger from the outlet, plug this into the same outlet, pull out your OEM RIM battery for a power pack battery, then place your Berry on this pad. I thought I was a little tech savy but I dont see the point. Someone convince me....

I still can't see a situation where I would want one of these over a cheap wall charger or cheap charging dock....

I didn't have much interest how it was previously, with having to install a different bigger battery door
but this way is MUCH better, and I think u guys will have even more success with this methodology

that's what i call a manufacturer making great strides in product design, innovation and functionality

cant wait to pick one up!

Can you still charge via A/C & car charger with their battery in the phone? Also will it still charge on the pad if you have the phone in a skin or case such as the otterbox impact?

I wasn't too keen on the old (ie, 2009 model) setup. I just didn't like the look of the bulky door/recharger. But this? This I'll definitely buy!

For those whining questioning (aka, whining about) it's functionality....would you rather come home lay your phone on the mat and relax? Or, come home, fish for the end of the OEM plug, make sure it's facing the right way so it plugs into your phone, then plug it in.

If you'd still opt for Option 2, well whine away...I've got better things to do with my time.

you can charge w/o removing your thick case..
can make the mat tilted so you can use the clock...
the battery has a good capacity...

makes no sense buying this.Drop it on the mat or just plug it in. You still have to plug the powermat into the wall what's the difference

I did hear him say the charge capacity "is some-what comparable", probably a bit weaker.

Still do not see the advantages as others explained.

come home from a late night and just throw it on a mat..but if the capacity isn't there..I'll have to pass.

OMG this is awesome I want it now!!!!

I am going to guess otter box might encounter some issue.. if you can still charge with otter box on it would be super fantastic.. if not I will switch to a seido case.

I just hope the mat provide some kind a slot, so it can also charge the original bb batt. Nobody knows when she needs a spare batt, right?

Great news! I love this. I really do.

OMG I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! thats a better design, can't wait

this. is. perfect!

Now this, I would buy.

to explain how this is better than just plugging in using the OEM charger.

If you plug in your phone religiously or use it in a home office with a dock, that's great, and this is not for you. But for those of us that use it at work all day long, and put it down when we get home because we have 2 kids to take care of, this is a great product. My wife and I use ours at work, and kind of forget about them until the next morning. Since I have other priorities, sometimes I forget to take my phone to where I have the charger pluged in. Then I'm running on low power all day, kicking myself for forgeting. This badboy sits on my counter, and when I come home, I put it down on the mat, set my keys down, and I don't have to think about it till the next morning, and no, I'm not putting 2 chargers and their cords on my kitchen counter. The mat is not an eyesore, and the power wire to it wraps up tight so it blends right in. For us it is great, but if you don't want it, who gives a SH!T!

I can't wait to get my hands on this one..Im glad I waited!!!!!!!!

when we get it and actually use it we will see if it stands up against the oem battery, only time will tell if this stands up against what he said in the video. and the life span of that battery how longer does it last, how long does the powerpak takes to full charge the phone to full cap's. IMO if this replacement dont out perform the OEM and regular charging its a waste of my money, no wires to break or usb ports to short this looks good for that but im more concerned about a longer lasting battery before it shows signs of a replacement and the OEM does this pretty good. 3rd party batteries never stood up against the OEM's, they usually dies out and fail before the OEM does. Good luck.

What about us that purchased the original 2009 doors???? I hope they come up with a trade out program, that will really help those of us that bought a few of them for our devices

AAHHHHAHAHHA

I realize that this is a forum for just Blackberry users but for all of you who can't understand the incredible magnitude of importance of this product here goes...

I own a Blackberry Bold, Nintendo DSi, wireless headphones, Garmin GPS. My wife has some crappy Telus phone and the same GPS as I do. My son and two girls each own their own Nintendo DSlites and generic mp3 music players. My son also owns an iPod Nano.

Imagine being able to charge ALL of these items with one plug. Not 10 to 12 different plugs. Not five plugs in the kitchen, three in the living room, one in the upstairs halway, and one in each bedroom.

We used to do the latter. Now we have just one charger. The Powermat removes all of those wires, plugs, outlets, and hastles.

Now imagine the future...

Moving your toaster over the induction power spot on your counter for toasting. Sliding the coffee maker beside it for your morning beverage. No cords; both go back in the cupboard easily. The mixer, blender, toaster oven, Magic Bullet, Notebook, radio, etc. all work the same way with NO CORDS.

Just some of the possibilities.
