Hey

Am wondering if it's worth trekking over to Aldi to look at their solar charger.

Has anyone got one yet? Opinions? Will it fit the Sony Ericsson Vivaz?

Cheers

Tom

Isn't that just like the [url= http://www.solartechnology.co.uk/shop/freeloader-pico.htm ]Freeloader Pico [/url]but a bit more expensive?

It does look similar yes, but the Aldi one will charge my iPhone... 🙂

Looks like the Pico one charges iPhones too PP looking at the various images.

The SE connector on the Freeloader is for the older style of SE phone.

Ahh yes. Using the iPhone cable. My mistake. 🙂

My cable's on the way out though....

(As an aside, d'ya think I can get a new cable on the phone insurance?)

Am I right in understanding that both of the above take ca.10 hours to charge themselves up and then whatever it says to charge your phone? Does that then empty the battery or can I charge a second phone/ipod straight after?

Ebay do them for about £2.
