LG has noticed the wireless charging dilemma, and taken action. Wireless charging is great for avoiding a messy tangle of cables, but in the past, the positioning of the phone left us mostly unable to use our phones while charging. At MWC 2012, LG revealed its WCD-800 wireless charging cradle that will get rid of the wires, and let you use your phone while it’s getting juiced up. The cradle will work in landscape or portrait mode, so you can browse the internet or squeeze in a round of Angry Birds while your phone is charging.

The WCD-800 will work with the new phones that LG has announced at MWC 2012, along with devices that will work with the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi standard. Its predecessor, the LG WCP-700, had a much smaller charging contact area with the phone, so it charged slower. This new cradle will be just as fast as a conventional wall charger, according to LG.

At first, the WCD-800 will only be available in Korea, but North America should see this gadget in the first half of 2012. LG has not released any pricing.

Whereas this isn't the case with the Galaxy Nexus as it is a generic Google phone, HTC and others want to retain their signature design cues.
