I'll give a report when it arrives in a week or so.........

It does a great job on my phone, but when I hook it up to my Nokia770, it tells me it is charging but actually DOESN'T charge it at all!!

I'm gonna keep fooling around with it, but so far, the Nokia770 doesn't want to play ball with the solar charger at all.....

I even bought the converter cable to fit.....
Anyone have any clues as to why it might SAY it is charging when infact it is not??
Could it be that only a small trickle charge is happening (enough to indicate it is charging but not actually enough to CHARGE it??)
