I'm not sure how many are interested in this but I have 5-6 Palm Touchstones that I used with my Pre, FrankenPre 2, and GS3 before getting my new G3.
Instead of switching to Qi just yet (I still don't see a charger I really like as much as the touchstone, nor can any charger beat the price of already-paid-for-it), I thought I'd see if anyone made a touchstone charging coil like they did for my GS3.
Looking on ebay, I saw people selling inserts for the GS4, Note 3, and GS5. I contacted one of them, stms18, and after some back and forth, here is what he said:
One caveat I've found from doing some research: it seems like the AT&T G3 has different hardware (PMA) than the rest of the world's G3s (which support Qi). So I don't think this would be applicable for the D850 model.
So... is there anyone in that area with an VZW (VS985), Sprint (LS990), or T-Mobile (D851) G3 who would be interested in meeting up with stms18 to make this happen sooner than a month from now?
I also posted a poll to gauge interest in this solution.

Thanks for your interest. I plan on making a wireless charger similar to the ones I made for the galaxy line. Unfortunately, this won’t happen until a month from now. I have no way of getting the phone till then. I need to measure and test prior to me selling them. I have made hundreds for the galaxy line and would like to continue to provide this service. Please spread the word and maybe someone in my area (los angeles, southbay area) has one and might let me borrow it for a few hours to prototype. In exchange, I will provide them with a coil for the G3.
