    Seems more like 130~150 at that its knocking on the door of the 640. But the 925 has a better camera OIS, metal body etc. Good spot I might consider one myself. No SD card slot though. Might want to consider the 32GB one. I though that was VF exclusive.

    Yeah she likes to snap pictures with it, seems ideal. One sold on ebay.de this morning for 42e but it was pretty scratched.

    Finding one that doesnt have those pointy alu corners unscratched it the difficult bit

    I'd have thought that wouldn't be hard!

    The 925 does not come with native wireless charging but there are wireless charging covers for it. And they protect all the corners. I've a 925 with one of those covers

    The bottom of my phone has scratches from coins in my pocket though, but the corners are mint :D

    Im bidding on a 32gb now anyway.

    I see theres a DIY for putting the wireless charging into the 925 too :)

    It will keep me going til the 940 comes out anyway, although Im hoping it wont have the suggested 5.2 inch screen.

    Aye, as there is for many smartphones these days. Why would you bother though if you can get a shell for a bit over a tenner?

    That still leaves the usb port available for wired charging / data (without having to take the plug out every time)

    Just for kicks, like cars, I love adding factory extras even if they arent bringing much extra value or convenience, if any :)

    Im picking up my 925 tonight anyway

    There's a "factory extra" for adding wireless charging to the 925 (the CC-3065, available in Black, White, Red or Yellow, about a tenner on Amazon) and there's DIY. Why would you want go DIY?
