Quick facts

* An efficient electricity supply - at only 12 km/h it charges as efficiently as common Nokia mains chargers
* Easy to install
* Durable dirt and weather resistant design for reliable performance all year round
* Attaches your Nokia phone securely to your bicycle
* Wallet and eco-friendly - lower your carbon footprint and your electricity bills



An efficient source of energy

The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit starts charging at walking speed (6 km/h) and stops when your speed reaches 50 km/h. The total charging time varies depending on the phone and the cycling speed. For example, with just 20 minutes of cycling at 10 km/h you can power up a Nokia 1202 for 1 hour of talk time or 74 hours of standby time. The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit is compatible with all Nokia phones that have a 2 mm charging interface.
Easy to install

The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit is easy to install and suits many different types of bicycles. The kit consists of three components: a bottle dynamo, a charger and a phone holder. The bottle dynamo fits to the front of the bike with a mounting bracket. The charger and phone holder attach securely to the handle bars. The charger, phone holder and phone can be removed easily whenever you park your bike.
Handy and secure

The rubberised phone holder mounts your phone securely to your bike and protects it from the vibrations of bumpy roads. You can mount it right in front of you on the handlebars so that you can see the charging progress and listen to music on your phone's speakers as you cycle.
Durable and reliable

The charger is carefully designed to withstand dirt, humidity, and weather, with an ultrasonically welded case and clear coating on the electronics. The dynamo is also very robust. The phone holder comes with a transparent bag to protect your phone from dirt and humidity.
Wallet-friendly and eco-friendly

Save money and save the environment by generating your own power as you cycle. The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit pays itself back quickly through savings on charging costs. And because you generate the electricity, there is no additional environmental impact from charging.

I think it's terrible, there just built to break these days. Sony aren't far behind them either. I'd nearly say Samsung is one of the most reliable handset makers at the moment.

I was very disappointed with the build quality of my 5800 and from playing with a friends N97 it didn't look all that better either.

This is far from a daft gadget, you have to remember this is targeting the developing world, where the users may not even have electricity in their homes.

Gizmodo has an excellent article* on Nokia and their business in emerging markets.

This falls under the category of truthiness for me.....

Truthiness is a "truth" that a person claims to know intuitively "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.


edit. Reading that again, I can't shake how much it sounds like something Karl Pilkington would say.
