Nokia launches bicyle-enabled low-price handsets

The world’s largest mobile phone maker on Thursday launched four low-priced handsets and a recharger that can be connected to a bicycle’s dynamo, charging when the wheels turn. The bicycle charger kit and handsets, some with a standby battery time of up to six weeks, FM radio and flashlights are aimed at users with limited access to electricity. The new devices will be available during the second half of the year, priced between e30-45.

The bike kit has a charger, dynamo and a holder to secure the phone to the bicycle. The dynamo —a small electrical generator uses the movement of the wheels to charge the handset through a standard 2mm charging jack used in most Nokia handsets. Source
