odafone is here to prove its tag line “happy to help” correct by announcing the launch of its first solar powered handset in India.The VF 247 is a solar powered phone charges by itself, by exposure to ambient light.
The VF 247 comes loaded with a special inbuilt hardware and software called Sun Boost, which allows the phone to charge even in room, under normal daylight. So, you can easily use normal ambient light to charge it rather than exposing it under direct sunlight.
An FM radio, color screen and a powerful torch light.
Eight hours of direct sunlight is enough to charge it completely. Once charged it will last for more than eight days and offers about four hours of talk time. Targeting the India’s huge rural mobile phone market, it is reasonably priced at around $32.20
