Solar powered cell phones in China by next month

solarphone.gif HTW Electronics was exhibiting a solar powered mobile phone concept at CeBIT this week and claims that a full production model will be released in China next month, reports Mad4Mobile Phhones.

"The HTW S116 has an array of solar cells which charge an internal Li-Ion battery which offers 20-25 minutes of talk time for a 40 minute charge in the sunshine.

This device, if it really works, will be groundbreaking in its usefulness towards third world communities without a reliable electricity supply."
