Other Why on earth did they put the charger on top and the unlocker at the bottom. These two should have switched places. No you feel like you have a giant antenna sticking up when talking while charging. If switched you could have unlocked with your finger instead of swiping the screen. Also, the feel of the keyboard slider could be nicer and the kickstand seems fragile just like the battery cover when you try to remove it, feels like you are going to break it.
You cant charge your phone from a "dumb" source. That means most external battery packs, car chargers, usb wall outlets and such. However, there is an adapter you can buy for this. I shall order it now and hopefully that will work. Charging via a computer or wall socket is fine.
