Rejoice all you techno-savvy who are tormented by Load-shedding curse. Samsung announced the E1107 Crest Solar cell phone–the first of its kind fueled by the power of the sun.
This dual-band 900/1800MHz GSM phone encases a large solar cell on the back cover that can charge its 800mAh battery. According to Samsung, the phone (when turned off) can run 5-10 minutes for every hour it charges under the sun. Could come in quite handy the next time you’re stuck on a deserted island…
Other features include:
- Built-in FM radio
- MP3 ringers
- Flashlight function
- Mobile Tracker (security feature which alerts when the SIM is swapped)
- Fake call function to get out of that lousy date
- 1.52 inch, 128×128 pixel CSTN display
- 40 polyphonic ring tones
- Dimensions: 4.1in x 1.7in x 0.6in)
Expect the E1107 Crest Solar cell phone to launch in our markets this July. It is specially design for rural areas of South Asia, South East Asia and Latin Americas. This can be a phone for Pakistanis who are desperately needed solar powered cell-phones due to lacking electricity in our country.
It is just beginning and I hope later Samsung will be able to developed more Solar based cell phones and will increase its talk time. Let's see whether be it a heal of our wounds.
