Hoping for an email sometime in the morning or afternoon today.

Glad many are in doubt of buying it and/or say its too expensive. Keeps it in stock for those that do want to buy it the next week haha. And cant wait to see the suckers sitting on them on ebay when no one buys from them when stock is plenty on Play Store.:silly:

I'm going to get one whenever I get some extra cash, still prefer it to be less but what can you do? All the qi stuff is overpriced right now. Maybe after more phones use it it'll get cheaper.

I would but already got the dual energizer one. Was 67 or so when I got it. The orb is slick but I already got two spots for my wife and my Nexi. Can't justify $120 plus shipping plus tax when I already have spots for two phones. Maybe down the road, Tylt is pretty slick too if even a bit more expensive.

Do you have any problem with aligning phones to get them charging? I consider buying Energizer as well

Just ordered one myself, I just got my Zens over the weekend and have found the wireless charging more convenient than I had originally thought it would be. I'll keep one at the office and one at home. Hope it holds good with the official bumper.

Google just cancelled my order placed on 12th Feb. I placed a new order just now.

Has anybody had their order processed and/or shipped? Mine is still pending and I ordered it ~10 minutes after it was available the morning of the 11th.

Shipping Estimate still says Feb 16 for me in the play store. :fingers-crossed:

I see the same thing in Play, but when I click on the "Info" link (it takes me to Wallet), there it shows that the financial transaction hasn't yet been completed - that it's still pending on Google to process it. You?

Yep same.
Site said ships within a week and we are still in the timeframe. Feb 18 well 19 (18th is Presidents day) would be the shipping deadline. Then I will send an email asking status.:cowboy: I'm here to ride it out lol.

I'm mostly asking because I've recently made changes to my Wallet payment methods because we just changed our address on our credit cards and I'm trying to identify any hiccups in the process from that earlier rather than later.

Thanks!

Just got my shipping notice from UPS My Choice also. That just means a label has been generated. We will see how long it takes them to get it to UPS and where it is shipping from.

    Please excuse my ignorance - how is this more convenient than a regular charger? You still need to plug in the orb to the wall socket when you want to charge the phone, don't you? So isn't the orb really just a fancy replacement of the micro usb plug, without any real added value?

    This has been talked about to death. If you can't or won't see the value in this, don't buy it.

    Seeing them in the US play store from here as well, damn that's expensive though, I won't be purchasing one.

    Too low on the charger - no charging:

    The lowest you can put it on the charger and have it charge:
    IMG_20130215_182707.jpg


    It actually charges even without the phone having to touch it (I have only the official bumper on it):

    An IMPOSTER trying to charge wirelessly. Grip on charger holds it in place, but no magnet action for my Sensation 4G!
    IMG_20130215_183423_(1).jpg


    Overall, I like it but I don't think it's a good deal for the price (not that that will stop me from keeping it). I wish the magnet holding the phone were stronger (so that the phone would "snap" into place), and also that the charger itself were weightier (it is heavier than you might expect, but not heavy enough to not move slightly when you're lifting the phone off of it).

    saw the UPS truck park on the side of my house. Got all excited and confused.....oh well, maybe it will be shipped on V-Day.

    Def showing 16th as shipping for me. Thats fine, as long as i get it before March.
    Mine better not show up on Valentines day! Any package shows up that day that is not for my wife and I am a dead man!
