Anonymous Coward writes: "HiTech Wealth telecommunications has just begun selling the S116 exclusively in China. A 1.3 mpx camera, and an MP3 player are fairly standard additions to cell phones these days, but the solar panels do make this guy stand out.
The panels trickle-charge the battery in any amount of light, including indoors (or even by candlelight), and the battery life is up to 2.5 times longer than it would without the panels. An hour of direct sunlight will give users 40 extra minutes of talk time."
