[pct-l] Phones

[jamesfmiller at hotmail.com]

I'm looking at devices that charge phones with a AA battery.

I'll be using a Droid X. Partially because of its satellite based gps  
capabilities.

I also thought the 8MP camera sounded good, but its a bit disappointing.

The DX almost does it all :
Journal
Email
GPS without cell service 
Camera

It looks like Solio Chargers will work as well. I particularly like the fact  

this charger stores power, so you can charge your phone later in the day.

Ok its called the Highgear Solarpod backup power charger.  You can find it  
at 
frys rei and im sure other online stores comes with mini usb have to buy the  

micro usb and comes with iphone adapter.  I tested it in my back yard and it  

worked just fine although I do live in so cali.
