 Does what it should, but could be more convienient December 2, 2008
Christopher L. Canfield (Boston, MA)
While it has some usability issues, overall the Solio H1000 charger solidly does what it is supposed to do.
First, the good parts. I've had the battery charger for about 6 months now, and the battery and solar panel both work solidly. Note that the solar panel is only really effective outside (windows filter out non-visible light). In other words, if you hang it on a tree in bright sunlight, you should be able to charge your phone once per camping day. And while this is obviously designed for camping, I find myself charging my phone with it whenever I accidentally let my phone drain.
Ok, the bad part... namely the baggie of easily lost connectors that goes with each unit. The connector for your charger of choice is thin, detached, and is constantly getting lost. The USB plug to charge this unit is similarly thin, detached and constantly getting lost. Furthermore, sometimes things charge automatically when plugged into the unit, sometimes you have to hit a button a few times. The battery charged indicator is a simply unclear series of flashing lights.
On overall reflection, it is still a very useful unit. Sadly, I've failed to use it as often as so simply because the needed plastic dangly bits were nowhere to be found, or the plug-in charge function felt like being finicky that day.
 Useful when away from an electrical outlet November 25, 2008

I've taken this little unit to many summer music festivals. You can dangle it off your knapsack when hiking or angle it southfacing if resting. I tested it primarily with my iPhone with the only disappointment with maybe an inadequate charge (if I used my iPhone heavily that day). You can compensate somewhat by charging this system up in your hotel room (or some outlet near the stage) at night. Nano textiles will eventually replace the need for separate solar modules but until then this is a reliable (but don't soak it in water) unit.
