1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM, September 20, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Apple iPhone 3G 3GS Solar Energy Emergency Battery Recharger (Black) (Electronics)

DO NOT buy this item. I used it twice. It worked flawlessly the first time, however, my second attempt, while I was traveling on business, left me without an Iphone. The unit burned out the battery on my Iphone and I had to buy another Iphone while I was on the road. Apple would not honor the warranty because it is a 3rd party charger that has not been approved by them. Do not, I repeat, do not buy this item and have to shell out another 400.00 dollars to replace your phone. Learn from my mistake.

1.0 out of 5 stars AVOID - turned my iphone into a brick, August 27, 2009

I had one of these for 2 days, and once the charge was full it overcharged the phone and blew the battery (and got very very hot).

Has anyone else had one of these when fully charged - and been OK with it?

Was it just my bad luck ?

1.0 out of 5 stars Unreliable, September 23, 2009

I don't understand how amazon could lend its name to this device. It comes with no instructions. I took it on a backtracking trip and placed it in the sun for 30 minutes. The iPhone got very hot--there was a message on the phone's screen not to use the phone until it had cooled down. And, as far as I could tell, no charge had taken place.
