 Very clever item!! July 16, 2008

I have one of these sat in the window charging my Nokia now, i use it to charge my ipod, PSP and BB. It works as long as there is some sun, but will work under a bright lamp as well, I would think you have a damaged/faulty unit. I have used loads of other so called solar chargers and this is the only one that really works...

This is a great concept and being someone that spends alot of time outdoors, I thought it would be great for me.
However, I have come to the conclusion that it is absolutely useless in the UK. We just don't have a strong enough strength of sunlight for it to work.
I have tried leaving it for a full day connected to various devices and it just doesn't work. I will take it on holiday abroad to see if it is any better there, but here in the UK .... it is useless.
Pity. I just wish someone else had written such a review before I parted with the money for mine. But, hey, I suppose someone had to be the guinea pig for it.
