A Kenyan client holds a solar panel phon
A Kenyan client holds a solar panel phone on 19 August 2009 display following it's launch by a telecommunications company Safaricom, making it Africa's first fully solar-powered phone.The mobile phone's timely release comes as Kenya is suffering from a major power rationing. The new solar-powered mobile phone that went on sale this past week will be purchased for a little under USD 38 (28 Euros). The phone will likely be particularly popular in rural Kenya areas, where electricity is often scarce and unaffordable, and even in urban areas where many poor Kenyans who live in the slums could benefit by no longer having to pay vendors to charge their phones.
