It will take about 12 hours of sunlight to fully charge the phone, however 1 hour of direct light exposure gives you 30 minutes of talk time. 1:2 talk/charge ratio looks really good here.

Other known features for HTW S116 are 1.3 megapixel camera, 320×240 QVGA display and small LCD front panel with information on battery charge time.

High Tech Wealth’s S116 works only on GSM 900/1900 networks will go on sale in China next month for $400 to 500.

Now, when will we be able to see this one here in Europe again?
