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.
