Great product, I have a Sony Ericson W580i and this unit works perfect with it. I just leave it in my car on the dash, then whenever im in the car just plug my phone in and charge. Great if your camping and don't have any way to charge your phone. Great in emergencies when the power is out, or unavailable. The actual piece that plugs into my phone is a little big, and i have trouble unplugging it sometimes. All of the connections look cheap but they work, I don't know how long they will last but im really not worrying about it, especially since I only paid 20 bucks for it.

Update: Charger died after a few months. Would refuse to charge my sony ericson 580i. I decided to take it apart and see if I could fix the problem. Now it lays in pieces. I think im gunna use the solar panel to jimmy rig a car charger and make my own solar cell phone charger

If you are thinking of buying this "solar Charger" DON'T!!!! it is definately not worth the money and for what it is being sold at right now you could easily make one from scratch. I bought one and really loved the concept of having a little solar charger with you wherever you go. The item arrived within the specified time and the seller was easy to contact. However the Solar charger wouldn't charge anything, big or small(trying to charge electronics that are within the voltage/amp output for the charger). The only thing that works is the little green light that comes on when you have it in sunlight (admittingly kinda cool) and when you have to charge the solar charger in either a usb port or wall outlet ( Kinda defeats the purpouse of a "Solar" charger right?) All in all I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!!! (Maybe a few more exclamation points for to drive this review home) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't spend much time talking on my phone although it is ON all the time. Nevertheless my samsung uses energy faster than this charger can generate. When fully charged it can be useful in emergency situations - you can get enough power to last for a few hours. This is disappointing to me since I was hoping to move my cell phone 'off the grid'. I am going to run some tests to give more accurate timeframes and will update this review soon.
