Could the Nokia Lumia 930 come with a free Qi wireless charge pad?

The Nokia Lumia 930 is a good-looking phone, and it has been officially unveiled at Build. This is a handset with impressive specs, including support for Qi wireless charging, eliminating the need to hunt down the end of the elusive USB cable.
\
This is far from being the first phone to offer wireless charging, and the idea certainly sounds cool — who doesn’t like the sound of cable-free charging?! But the problem is cost. Having bought a phone and splashed out on a new case to keep it safe, the idea of spending even more money on a wireless charging pad probably isn’t high on your to-do list.
\
Nokia may be solving this problem in a move that would help to promote the benefits of wireless charging. It seems as though the handset will come bundled with a free charging dock, although there are no details of the form the unit will take.
\
While certainly the most popular wireless charging standard, Qi charging has not yet been adopted as the industry standard. By pushing it with a flagship handset, Nokia will be lending its support and helping to lay the groundwork for not just widespread use of wireless charging, but the adoption of Qi specifically.
