A new mobile phone has now been launched by NTT DoCoMo and is the Solar Hybrid SH-08A mobile phone reports Intomobile.

The Solar Hybrid SH-08A holds a clamshell form factor and features a 3 inch display with 480 x 854 pixel resolution and 16.7 million colours, measures 109 x 50 x 17.3mm and weighs in at 104 grams, and sports an 8 megapixel CCD camera.

Probably the SH-08A’s claim to fame is the ability to be submerged in up to one metre of water and its large solar panel which delivers one minute of talk time for every 10 minutes out in the sunlight.
