Samsung Shows Off Solar-Powered E1107 Guru

Samsung’s most prominent move into solar-power cell phones to date has been Blue Earth, but now, they are planning to ship another handset first: the E1107 Guru. Samsung India will be selling the solar-powered E1107 for Rs 2799, primarily targeting rural areas where the electricity service isn’t too great. Five to ten minutes of talk time can be squeezed out of an hour’s worth of sunlight, maxing out after 40 hours of sunbathing.

Besides the solar-aided power, there is nothing else special about this phone. There is ther usual FM radio, MP3 ringtones, 1.52″ display, dual-band GSM – all you really need here is something that makes calls. This phone is also expected to enter Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Samsung is touting the Guru as “the world’s first solar phone”, but we all know that ZTE is the premier brand there, with KDDI in the previous spot. Well, that’s what marketing is all about, right, folks?
