Portable Hybrid Solar Charger for Android, HTC, Samsung, LG, Blackberry, Nokia

Product Review (submitted on February 12, 2010):

Will this charge your power-hungry devices like Mobile MP4 Video and DVD players? NO! Will it power your Apple xxx? Probably not. But will it give some extra run-time to your regular cell phone? Most likey. I use mine with a Blackberry 8830 World Edition, and I have seen it recharge the phone if it is not in use. If the phone is doing ANYTHING that draws power, you will likely only see the battery level stay at the same level for a while, or at least slow its march to empty.
This is only a 2000mAh Lithium ion battery inside, so don't expect it to recharge your Blackberry battery, which is likely 1400mAh or higher more than once. Even in a perfect world, connecting this charger will likely only give you an additional hour or two stacked on top of the original 3.6 to 5 hours the Blackberry 8830 claims. But if you use it for e-mail, browsing, etc... you're going to be lucky to get 3 hours constant use.

If this is enough for you, then this is a great little gizmo.
