I'd preferred to have a charging mat that I place it on on my desk. This way I wound have to reach down to the floor and grab the "always to short power cable" and connect my phone. Less stress on the use port and less chance of me pulling the phone off the table in case I get up on a hurry and snag the wire at the same time. It's ok by me if it just trickle charged the phone to make up for the wireless and cell connection that is on. I can fast charge it at home with my PlayBook charger.
Z30, and yes, it's a bit on the heavy side...
