Isn't it infuriating gett...What we mean is, don't you just hate it when your pho...Look, the point we're trying to make is that it's really annoying when your mobile runs out of juice mid-conversation. But thankfully help is at hand in the eco-friendly shape of the Solar Keychain.

Solar Keychain with keys

Perfect keychain

Simply dangle this ultra-slim device from your keyring and you'll have emergency power for your phone 24/7, wherever you may roam. Unless of course you leave your keys at home, in which case you'll be in double trouble.

Solar Keychain charging a Motorola

Charging a Motorola

Using the Solar Keychain is lemon squeezy. Simply plug it into your mobile using the relevant adaptor (loads included) and gawp in planet-hugging amazement as it pumps in around 15-25 minutes of extra talktime. That's more than enough time to order a cab, talk vindaloo with the bloke down the curry house and send a few 'ooh, me 'ead' style texts from the back of the taxi.

Solar Keychain in hand

Handy size

Mobile users who choose to shun the pub/takeaway lifestyle can use the additional power for genuine emergencies: SOS calls, mountain rescues, coastguard texts - you name it, the Solar Keychain can be a real lifesaver.

Solar Keychain and USB cable

Charges via the sun or USB!

This sleek gizmo's internal battery takes around ten hours to fully charge. Simply leave it to soak up some rays while you recite some Al Gore speeches. There's even a handy LED indicator that confirms the battery is charging.

Press Reviews...

press review "This phone solar charger will mean you never run the risk of a flat battery again. It's the size of a cedit card, so is unobtrusive when hanging off your keychain. It provide up to 25 minutes of talk-time, and comes with a wide variety of adaptors, but is not iPhone-compatible"
