The Chinese phone maker, Umeox mobile is working on a solar powered cell phone for the user that is usually away from an electrical outlet. It will be available for use in the United States and Europe. Too bad it'll take 17 hours for a dead battery to fully charge ! ! ! ! Unfortunately, there has not been much success inthe past with solar powered phones. For example, have you ever heard of the Digicel Coral-200-Solar phone? Probably not. Even popular brands like Samsung have tried it and failed.
The concept is brilliant if it can be perfected. For example, a 17 hour charge is ridiculous, thats more than half a day! Because it is an Android phone, apps will most likely increase usage time and run the battery down quickly. An option to charge from a wall as well was not mentioned but would certainly increase the phones value
