Product Description
The SC002-FK charger by Solar Style is an awesome device that can collect energy from sunlight and either store it for later use or charge your cell phone, PDA or Music player. The built in battery lets you use the power right away or much later. The power of the sun is an awesome, free, and convenient way to charge your mobile phone, especially when power is out or unavailable. Just attach your device using a connector and you are good to go!

 Totally Awesome! September 24, 2008

This thing is amazing and totally cool. I use it to charge my Nokia phone and always keep it nearby for backup power. The flashlight is very nifty, helped me find something I dropped under the drivers seat in my car one night. I recently updated my phone and getting a new connector (Nokia "thin pin") was very easy.
I would not suggest disconnecting your electric service and planning to use this to charge your phone forever, but you better believe its handy when the power goes out, or hiking, and did I mention how cool it is???
So bottom line, it's a very cool gadget, it works, and its fun to use. I'm thinking about getting a bunch this year as gifts for friends.
Hey Solar Style! Thanks for putting solar power in my pocket, I always thought it was only for NASA.
 What a disappointment September 20, 2008

Although the concept sounds great - this is a piece of junk! I ordered mine straight from the manufacturer, and right out of the box the battery would not accept a charge from the sun or wall charger. The LED flashlight would only work when the unit was plugged into the wall charger. Unfortunately there was nothing stored to transfer to my iPhone!
I am still waiting for a response from Solar Style's customer service. Given the previous reviews, I am sorry I wasted my money on this charger. I plan to do some more research and maybe try another one.
I DO NOT recommend this product August 23, 2008

I had so much faith in this product. I wanted it to work so badly. Unfortunately, I can't urge anyone to buy one. The Universal USB replicator connector doesn't work with any devices I own. The car adapter does work, but within 30 seconds of my cell phone registering a charge, it said it charging was complete....when it really wasn't. It took 3 hours to charge up my friend's phone with direct sun. It took 4 hours to charge up ONE PIXEL in the battery icon of my Microsoft Zune. I should have read more reviews on this product because I bought 5 of these and in good faith that they'd work like a charm, but now I'm stuck with them.
Wait for another product August 4, 2008

I purchased this product directly from the manufacturer. So far, it has been quite disappointing. The amount of power transferred to your cell phone or other devices seems to be negligible. Certainly not enough to top it off or keeping it from runnig out of juice. I've been experimenting with different set ups (i.e. full day in the sun, in the sun with the device plugged in, etc.) and no one seems to provide any meaningful charge. I'll keep experimenting, but not having any hopes. If I find the sweet spot, I'll update this review.
Charger? or $35 LED flashlight July 1, 2008

This product is yes - "nifty", yes - "versatile", but only if it works. Mine has not worked, although it does charge (proven by the green flashing light), and does "output" apparently (proven by the blinking red light) ... my Ipod has not received a single bit of charge. This could be a multitude of problem with either the connecting cable, the device itself who knows, but either way this review is coming down to Customer Service that has yet to respond to any of my emails, calls, smoke singals, and other forms of communication. Dead silence, means i give this product a dead star.
Good luck with yours though - because if mine does work one day, i'll be happy to have a solar backup for the devices that can be connected to this charger.
Oh and the LED flashlight is very bright and cool, and it does work on mine.
