Waste of money mate. Barely get any charge from such a small panel

Of course they have cheaper smaller versions too, but I would recommend this because of the ample capacity of it's battery.

Waist of money, but if you have some small soldering skills, you could do what i have done, one of this :http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

And one :http://cgi.ebay.com/5V-700mA-Solar-C...ht_7577wt_1037

Solder this up, and you got yourself a charger that is nearly as powerful as the mains charger in sunlight, and still being able to charge while its cloudy!

I've got one of these. They are one of the few solar solutions that can actually work. Can only be bettered if you go for a DIY solution as suggested but if you want something neat out of the box this is the way to go!

Be careful with solar chargers on ebay and dealextreme. i ordered two for my old inspire 4g. First, I made it wait for 10-12 hours in sun to charge its internal battery. Then i plugged the charger to the phone. It just charged for 1 min. Then, i thought something went wrong and i looked inner parts of the charger and I was shocked. The battery was a cheap-old-used nokia battery. There is nothing about to be trustworthy. The other charger had some different battery but it was also some cheap-crap. I am going to test the pannels for the output current and voltage. I will combine them to get a good current but i dunno if are they working. I will test them in the lab
