Japan : A new mobile phone which is not only waterproof but is also powered by solar energy is being launched in Japan by NTT DoCoMo and will be on sale during September this year. It’s a 3G HSDPA handset and specification details are below.
The new solar powered mobile phone even has a 8 megapixel camera. The handset has a waterproof body which actually means it can be submersed in water up to 1 metre deep and is resistant to rain etc. No problem dropping this one in the bath !
The new handset ( the SH-08A pictured above ) charges via sunlight as well as normal recharging. A flat battery can be recharged in sunlight within 10 minutes to give 60 seconds of talk time. Good as theres nothing worse than when away from your normal charger and your battery is flat. This solves that problem.
