I've been thinking about picking up this device. It has a 6000 mAh battery in it, which I certainly hope would be enough for at least one full charge from empty for my N810.
Edit: I had previously picked up a solar battery pack that *claimed* to have a 3000 mAh battery in it, and I was not able to get it to fully charge my N810. When I say "fully charge", I mean from completely dead. I would run the N810 until it shut off, plug in the charger, start up the N810 and then charge the N810 in sleep mode until the battery pack ran out of juice.
Well, I can take my n810 from dead to full with a set of 4 2500mah rechargables (5000mah once you combine the four batteries into 2 sets to get 4.8v) without much problem, so a 6000mah should do just fine and have juice to spare.

Are you sure about that math ? If those are AA batteries, 4x1.2 = 4.8, but that's still 2500 mAh. If you happen to have some strange 2.4V batteries, disregard this post I'm one of those who think mAh can be misleading to write on batteries, would be happier with mWh
Well, some of us can't get to a charger right away and ultimate use the device until it does. Then again, sometimes it's a good idea to run a battery dead periodically to help keep it healthy.
Umm no. I can fully charge my Solio on less than 1 day's direct sunlight. yes the Wall charger is faster but then we expect that.
Actually, I have (or had) a solio and it took three full sunny SoCal summer days to fully charge the battery. Perhaps I had a faulty one, but if you can charge it in less than one day...that's amazing.
Plus, I found that the solio could not completely charge my N800 from being dead to full battery. Once again, perhaps I had a faulty one...

perhaps. I can leave mine in a car window and get a whole blink. and that's nowhere near optimal. Is your behind a pane of glass? Is it angled right? 3 days really sounds long.

I agree, it does seem absurdly long. However, I had it on my patio table facing south and it took a couple of days. I even tried turning it east in the morning and then west in the afternoon...to no avail.
I did notice that it would get extremely hot, which made me wonder about how long the lithium-ion battery would last under those brutal conditions... Now, I don't even use it anymore as it has become essentially useless to me.
