link to 1W solar panel used: http://tinyurl.com/yz2pz3z

Got this on sale for $15 a while back and assumed, correctly it seems, that it would work with the N900 as it had worked with the E71.

Yes, the N900 was on.

I was looking for a way to charge it, or at least keep it on, while on a lengthy bike trip involving roughly 8 hours of riding per day.

I would love to see some company come up with a back cover with solar panel on it, or a touch charger like how the energizer has for wii remotes.

you can see it "clearly" from the pictures. just look harder and atleast try.

e: hint: these ingredients can be seen:


solar panel


car charger


alligator clamps

Ok I was wondering if there is a much more "stable" edition. In the other hand, is it dangerous for n900? If there is greater sun or something like that. Here in Greece we ve got a hoooot sun.

it shouldn't be dangerous: solar panels have maximum voltage that they don't exceed at any conditions (unless you plug 230V AC for example to the contacts from electric grid....). current etc is handled by the car charger and it is as dangerous as charging your n900 from cars plug.

Ok thanks for your answer. Im expecting from besides to report here if he met conflict or a problem and how long is he using it.
