I got one of these at our local REI store and took it on a 3 day trip to the Grand Canyon. While it states it takes a while to make a full charge...the solar panel is extremely weak and would not charge my iphone with 4 hours of sun. It has to have DIRECT sun exposure...if even a tree twig is in front of the panel it will not charge up. I was very disappointed, as I wanted to use my iphone to listen to music on the way up. The LED light notification system is VERY hard to understand...it looks easy...but in real world situations it is not. If you are even thinking about getting this for emergency back up.....keep looking. I was really hoping for a solid product especially coming from a more established company...but unfortunately the product just didn't work to even my lowest expectations. :( I have since returned it in hopes to find a good solar charger........

Very easy to figure out and works great. A friend had the same one and used it on camping and bike trips to charge a cell phone and an i-pod over the summer- had to get one for myself!

Bought this charger for my two Motorola (mini-usb charging) phones. The device works flawlessly. Pulls a full charge in 8-10 hours of Florida sunlight. It seems to store the charge for a long time too. Really no complaints about the Solio.
The issue I'm having is with my cell service provider - Verizon Wireless. They put their own buggy, proprietary software on the phones which sees the Solio as an "UNAUTHORIZED CHARGER" and doesn't allow the device to power my phones. (Even though the hardware works!) This is most frustrating. If I wasn't signed into a two-year agreement with them, I would switch providers ASAP.
If you need a charger while you're hiking, camping or spending lots of time outdoors, the Solio is great. If you need to use your phone while you're at it, heed my warning - avoid Verizon at all costs!

The only thing worse than this product is customer relations. The product does not work period. I have emailed the company three times, and no one writes back. Then I tried to call, been on the phone over an hour. This product does not charge anything. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK. You will be disappointed.Solio H1000 Universal Hybrid Charger (Dark Grey)

This little device haves plenty of uses. Already tested, charging more than 12 different cellphones: Blackberry (Pearl, Bold, Gemini, Javelin (tip not included)) Nokia (6110, 6265, N95, E71) Motorola (Razr) and LG / Samsung from friends. Works flawlesly, charging from a computer took like 5 hours.
The Sun, in my area is very shiny, like 7 and half hours of direct exposure do the job. You need to aim directly to the sun in order to obtain the proper charge. Works in cloudy days but needs more time to be fully charged (like 2 or 3 more hours)
The price, i think that is not cheap, but is a very well finished device. Worth it.
I'm waiting my new nüvi 500, in order to do some testing, no info about gps charging performance, yet.
It's an eye catching device, maybe the orange...
Very recommended unit, well finished and with plenty of accesories available.
If the people at Solio release an unit, capable to feed a netbook (25 to 30 watts) that would be a perfect combo.
