I know a handful of Lumia phones that come built in with it. I have been using one for about 2+ years and must say its extremely convenient. No more fiddling plugging in or tugging on cables. When you are not holding your phone you put it down somewhere, and if that somewhere has a charging plate you never have to worry about low battery. Have bought multiple of these wireless chargers and also had one modified for the car's cup holder where I tend to place my phone while driving.

I do very much like the idea, but how does it affect the health of the battery? Even with modern lithium whatever batteries, I still have the impression that charging too often is bad for their longevity.

I think you're thinking of the old nickel batteries, lithiums liked to be fully charged at all times.
