I am planning on getting the EVO come June 4th to replace my HD2, and I am wondering if there are any solar chargers available on the market for this unit. Since I will be having a case on the unit, I dont want to be having to open the back cover all the time to replace the battery whenever its dead.
maybe a good external battery backup might do the job.
It's only $20 also and can be charged by USB too (1500mah) which i prefer because if you want to charge by solar, it takes a whopping 4-5 DAYS! to full charge to 1500 -_- but for a 1500mah backup battery with solar capability, it's not too bad.
I ordered The Solio Rocsta Hybrid Charger on Amazon. Hopefully it will work well with the EVO.
June 4th should be the day that a sprint rep will call me and make me an offer to switch over. -
The Solio Mono can be charged in 17 hours, and larger ones can be charged faster. Also balance the battery capacity with the charge time too - a couple models take longer to charge because they hold more juice.
This isn't something that's meant to be used on a daily basis, but every now and then, to give you some extra juice.
And it's eco-friendly. There are some tree-huggers out there who would appreciate using solar power. It's a nice little backup to have and that's all.

I keep waiting for the Solar power technology to improve to the point that a solar panel is built into the back of the phone for built-in charging or topping off. This would work great on the dash of a car.

hmmm sounds interesting. phones will need bigger batter slots with that though lol... depending on how efficient a kinetic charger can be though... that is the question... technically speaking alot of "energy" goes into shaking a phone up and down just once or twice... if the efficiency is way up there it may only take a few shakes to completely charge your phone... i know that THAT is many many years away... but even %20 efficiency would be amazing as you walk you would basically be topping off what you may have used...
I got back from hiking Cloud Peak in Wyoming and I brought my EVO with to watch movies at night. I bought the solar charger with the idea that I would charge up it's internal battery during the day and charge my phone at night. It worked out great and it's got a really neat design as well.
I have a coupon for $15 off if your interested in buying one. Code: PROMOAA

lwestlie - I think it is ridiculous how you are trying to promote your own product by pretending you bought one. I am in the market for a solar charger and have been doing enough online research to see threads about how it is your company and here you are pretending to be a customer. It is very misleading for consumers and I have been looking for an actual testimonial from a real customer. I was very close to buying your product but after seeing how you're attempting to be sneaky, and no real customer reviews, I will be buying something else.

When Sprint announced their first ever 4G handset at CTIA in March 2010, they dropped a bombshell on the mobile world. The HTC Evo 4G is a device that introduces a lot of firsts when compared to other North American handsets. This is the first Andr... Read More
