A not unreasonable argument. The counterpoint (not necessarily a good one) is that I found the normal wired plug in to be rather inconvenient to use since there is a cover that has to be removed -- which can only be done when the phone is open -- and that hinged cover is the only part of the phone that feels flimsy to me. You might want to play with that before buying. They didn't have Touchstones in stock when we got the phone so I used the cable for the first few days. First I actually had to look at the manual to figure out where the cover was and then the first time I opened it I was sure it was going to break.
Also note that at the moment it appears you need to buy a separate Touchstone for each phone that wants to use one. You have to replace the back cover of the phone and currently I do not believe you can buy those separately.
The cynical part of me suspects they were fine with that inconvenience since it could only push a person towards the Touchstone. For me, though, I'm horrible about remembering to actually plug in the phone and with this battery life (I got about 4 days on my previous phone) I haven't as much forgiveness.
