Samsung launches Solar Guru, world’s first solar powered phone [Update]

UPDATE: Solar Guru will be known as Crest Solar in other regions. More pictures in the gallery.
Samsung surprised us today with the launch of an affordable solar powered mobile phone in India. We were banking on the Blue Earth phone but it’s the Solar Guru (Guru E1107) that will make its way first to the commercial market.
The phone won’t be looked upon for its features but rather for its solar charging prowess, which for 1 hour of solar charging can give around 5-10 minutes of talk time. It supports dual GSM bands (900/1800MHz) and includes a 1.52-inches 65K CSTN screen, FM Radio, MP3 ringtones, torch, Mobile Tracker, Fake Call and a 800mAh battery.
Apart from India, Solar Guru will also be launched in June in Europe, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and Latin America.
It will go for just Rs. 2,799 ($59).







Very good stuff.. Very good for Rural India
I think 5-10 minutes of talk time per 1 hour charging is too short.
