Digicel Introduces Solar Powered Cellphone
Digicel has recently announced the launch of their new Coral-200-Solar phone. The company claims it as the world’s first low-cost solar-powered handset. It will be available in selected markets starting June 2009. According to the company, Coral-200-Solar integrates solar elements that helps it charge while in direct sunlight.
“Solar-powered handsets are clearly the way to meet the needs of power-challenged users across the globe,” said Tom Bryant, Digicel Group VP Distribution Procurement. “While the idea of solar-powered handsets has been around for some time, it has taken the leadership of Digicel and the technology and manufacturing skills of its partners Intivation and ZTE to make the Coral-200-Solar handset a reality. This marks another first for Digicel and we think our customers are going to love this great device.”
“As mobile phones continue to proliferate in emerging markets and are widely used where electricity is available, mobile operators are demanding more innovative handsets,” said Mr Xiong Hui, VP of ZTE’s handset division. “We are confident that the Digicel Coral-200-Solar is such a product and that solar power technology can be used in any type of handset.”
If it does what it says then it will surely help millions of consumers worldwide to use mobile phones more conveniently.
