Hey, it's got a big screen and a big keypad. What else could you ask for? Seems like a perfect phone to me. =)

is it a copper coil type device w/ something that runs back and forth through the coil to make power? ahh the simple physics are the best. i bet the complicated part was getting to output steady regulated power. what a brilliant idea - one of these things w/ a satellite phone would be rediculously useful and dependable in so many places.

I'll take one -- but how much?

See, this is what I need! I always forget to grab a battery pack or to charge my iPhone, and one of these babies is exactly what I need to have a dependable power source. Assuming I still have arms and legs and all that, of course.
