Is it just me or does anyone else find that the screen doesn't always activate when you place your N4 on the orb?

When you place the N4 on the orb, the screen turns on and it makes a sound indicating that it's charging. But half the time, it doesn't react at all. It still charges but there's no indication so I find myself manually turning the screen on and checking, just in case.

Just a minor annoyance.

I have noticed this too. It seems to happen mostly when the phone is already on the charger then I take it off and put it back on fast. Its like it didn't have time to reset itself to register the notification sound or something.

Can anyone recommend where to buy this in Europe? I cant get it from play store since I live in Finland. I know one retailer in Finland that sells it for 75€ but I think it is a bit overpriced

I bought mine from eBay, hasn't arrived yet, so customs and whatnot might add some extra to the price but I paid 85 € for the thing including shipping. Verkkokauppa.com sells the orb for 75 € (not in stock yet). Considering the price I paid, that's an okay price imo...

I ordered this from Verkkokauppa.com. I was hoping to get it cheaper somewhere around Europe...

Well, I ordered mine from the U.S and I'll have to pay customs about 20 € so the total price goes to 105 € anyways I'll doubt you'll get it much cheaper from other countries. You could try eBay or some such site I guess... And if the product is cheaper than 75, remember you'll have to pay postage as well if you order from other countries
