LG shows off solar phone, battery cover at MWC

Proving (as usual) that it's not too big for a little tit-for-tat with its crosstown rival, LG showed its own concept solar phone at MWC this week to match up with Samsung's Blue Earth. The prototype LG handset doesn't have a name -- takes a whole team of high-priced consultants to christen a product like that, we'd wager -- but we do know that the slider can eke 3 minutes' worth of life out of a 10-minute charge in natural light. The thing looks like it was thrown together in a week, but hey, as long as it works, we know LG can take care of the design side of things by the time production rolls around.

Are you serious? It looks like a Secret with some solar panels stuck on its battery cover. It'll definitely be nice once it's sleekly integrated into the design, but right now, it sure does look like LG pulled an all-nighter for this.
