Samsung India has launched a first of its kind solar powered mobile phone in India. The phone has been labeled as Samsung Solar Guru (Guru E1107). The phone is expected to be a major hit in the rural areas of India where there is shortage of electricity while the sun shine to its fullest. The extended solar powered batteries of the phone will generate a talktime of 10-15 minutes with one hour of solar charging. Now the best thing about the phone is that it is targetting the low end of the consumer market and is priced at Rs. 2,799 ($59) so any one can easily afford it. It supports dual GSM bands (900/1800MHz) and includes a 1.52-inches 65K CSTN screen, FM Radio, MP3 ringtones, torch, Mobile Tracker, Fake Call and a 800mAh battery.
Following its introduction in India, the Samsung Solar Guru is being launched in various markets including Europe, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and Latin America in June 2009.
