also, there are so many CO2 friendly powerplant things in europe that its useless here for sure (windmills, waterpower, solarpowerplants, nucleair plants...)

single button for receiving and cancelling call will work like when the button is in green color, it is for OK and if it is glowing in red then it is for cancelling. hope that helps!

I think the solar charger is the best idea to come to cell phones if not gadgets. Even if you had to have it in sunlight, Image you where goin out for a jog with your lil ipod strapped to your arm. And its charging while you run. No need to remember your charger where ever you go somewhere you might need it. I feel its very innovative.

"solar" doesnt need to really expose ur phone to direct sunlight. it will charge with enough sunlight even in shade.

Isn't it you need sunlight for solar charging? Are you willing to expose your gadget it direct sunlight? I think that's not a good idea. Its better if they just make a separate solar charger for it.

10 mins of charging for 2mins of talk? Dang...
The only time I charge my phone is when I sleep.

Am I suppose to leave my phone under the sun while I work indoors?

Will that figure be shorter than the lifetime of the phone?

It looks like a classy phone, so I dont see the need for solar charging. Classy people are not usually in the Sun.
