That is my N900 summer travel setup (or if I travel in warm climates). I have to say I understand the pessimism, solar battery charging has it's drawbacks, especially since from my experience they tend to mess up the battery quite quickly. Also, I hope the Jolla has good charging software/communication... My first setup was a solar charger directly connected to the beast, but it usually just worsened the charge (software?) and confused the phone.
I still fully support the idea (and tech keeps improving). Remember, most of the population of the world live in warm/tropical climates, where this is useful all year long.
Good luck.

Would it be possible to add a solar OTH that also has E-link?

Hmm.. sure.. but where do you want to put the panel? The earl has it on it's back...

(Semi-)Transparent panels to exist, but are expensive and efficiency is very low.

I guess (as it does not show on the pictures) that the solar cell is on the backside of the Earl device, so where'd you put it on the OH if you are going to have large-as-possible E-Ink display on it? :p

damn, @Oblomow beat me to it by seconds :)

I was more thinking It would be in the same screen. Or connect a solar case that could cover the main screen to the phone that you could open and close and charge it via nfc?

Fine, I will add keyboard, NFC, e-ink, solar panel and 5000 mah battery. Does anyone has a large bucket of glue for me?

In fact it should be possibly in the same screen panel. The biggest issue would be the cost. But at least we don't have to pay for glue...

solar cell and voltage-regulator are in!

this is a step-up-step-down regulator. quite efficient and very small!

When I find my solder iron I will hook it up to my N9 and see what happens in terms of milliamps!
