Wouldn't the heat from the sun heat up the phone excessively? Temp. out in the open in the tropics can be as high as 40+ Celsius.

I doubt you'll see more than ten countries in your life time, let alone a new planet - that has all the neccesities needed for basic life... Yeah, shall we just use and abuse this planet in the hopes that we might find that. Great solution, why are you not in politics?

but rather a hesitant but well aimeed step at green and convenient technology... which may eventually begin to save money too...

Too bad my iphone 3g doesn't have a solar panel at the back. it's good feature.

this may sound obvious, but if you cant afford electricity how are you going to afford a mobile phone & bill?? electricity is more important in rural/poorer areas!

I think this whole saving the earth is overrated. We just have to make it last long enough till we can find other planets and establish our space empire and join in alliance with other space faring empires.

It's not really worth it. What I would do is buy a cheap phone with similar phone function inc. radio etc. It only costs less than 30 pounds in UK. Then buy a solar charger with different adapters (plugs)so that it can charge all kinds of phones, even common batteries.

Advantage of my solution is: must faster charging, lower cost and environment friendly - one charger for all!

actually i just wanted to say that this isnt really the first solar powered solar phone in the world. The first one was actually released by SHARP and its also water proof, only available for AU by KDDI.

E1107 is not the first solar powered phone on sale.
KDDI's SH002　（by Sharp） was sold June 4th　in Japan.

I want one. But regrettably, this can only use in JPN.

so you need like 6 hrs of solar charge to get around 60 minutes!!!!

i guess this is a good start... just like when 1st mobiles started we used to have two batteries with us, when the first one is empty we put the second charged battery in (this is in 1 day)

good goin samsung

***although i am not a fan of samsung***

I do remember a very old nokia, before the 3310, who had a battery with solar panel on it.

It wasn't sold with it, but you could find the modified battery though.

everyone's phone won't do any better for camping or hiking like this phone. it's the best solution and keep coming more for this idea. your phone nowadays does nothing but to consume your time and money.
