Updated: Tue 8:04 AM, Dec 11, 2012

The new Nokia Lumia 920 smartphone is loaded with great features, including two that really make life easier around the house and for parents.

The Nokia Lumia 920 ($99 with 2 year contract) is equiped with wireless charging (built on the Qi standard) and near field communication. This allows the device to connect to a speaker or a wireless charging pad by just putting the phone on it. A great example is the JBL Powerup Speaker ($299), which was build for the Nokia Lumia 920, it has a simple look and connects to the phone via NFC while also charging via the wirless charging capability.

The Nokia Lumia 920 runs the Windows Phone 8 operating system, which is new from Microsoft. One of the great features of Windows Phone 8 is the Kids Corner. This makes the device family friendly by keeping a separate area for the kids. It can be named and even have its own picture. It also keeps kids from accidently sending an e-mail or text from the parent's account. Additionally parents can control the content the kids can access.
