Why not! I wish you luck using nexus 7 for wireless charging the lumia.
Man, why do you need to compare the most premium charger with a very affordable tablet?
It's like you'd prefer to rather buy a pile of cotton instead of a little gold ring because it seemed expensive :/
I'll be happy with that beautiful circular white wired charger the 920!

It's an option so if you don't like it or think it's over priced, you can stick with the travel charger...
But price will fall eventually, though i think the charging shell should be supplied with the phone.

Wireless charging is built-in for the 920, it's an add-on via case/shell for the 820/810. For the differences in price it probably makes the 920 a better value then if the user intends to use wireless charging.

At least it is an add-on option, not a requirement like a lightning adapter for the new iDevices.

"buy the fatboy charging pillow, and get the charging shell for free!!! (or discounted)"

is this what ur saying?

yes yes exactly what I'm saying

Maybe, but for those Lumia 920 buyers who don't need the shell, that would be an unnecessary expense, only useful for the 820/810 buyers

then lets do the opposite... "if u buy the 820 charging shell, we'll throw away a free fatboy!!! *limited offer!"

Elop is experimenting with the idea of how to earn more through accessories :)

There's one big difference. The Nokia wireless charging is based on Qi open standards. Therefore, no expensive licensing costs for third party accessory channels...unlike Apple.

I suspect the third party accessories will drive these prices down. Nokia is simply testing prices at a higher level...it's easier to adjust down. It's nearly impossible to adjust up.
