800/1900??? It will work in the USA at 1900? That is great. A solar powered world phone even if just 2 bands.
a phone that takes weeks to charge, decides which calls it wants to notify me for and reminds me everytime i forget to pray that god is watchin! 🙄
other phones; plug and play
I wonder if you could take this apart and stick that solar panel on other phones. Looks about the size of a nokia 2600/2610. Then I could sell them for ATT.
Why not just sell this phone as-is on AT&T? If it's really GSM 800(850)/1900, it would work.
