Chinese telecom supplier Hi-Tech Wealth adds a solar panel on top of one of its clamshell-designed phones. One hour of sunlight can provide enough power for 40 minutes of talk-time. The phone can also be recharged by light from other sources including candles.The S116 sells in China for about $510 and features a 1.3 mpx camera, an MP3 player and a microSD memory card slot. According to Xinhua News, Hi-Tech Wealth plans to put six solar-powered phones on the market this year and another 30 in 2008.
