Have a look for a freeloader- its a solar powered phone charger with built in battery pack- so you can charge your phone in the day or charge the battery pack in the day then plug your phone in for an overnight charge. not cheap but apparently rather good if you need to charge on the move fairly often.

"Maplins do a 10000mAh mobile powerpack for £30. The rules forbid links so search "10000mAh Portable Power Bank for Mobile Devices"

That should charge a phone about 5 times."

What he said...we bought an Ankers 12000mAh one from Amazon for £26 and it kept 3 phones charged all weekend at Glastonbury.

Obviously, you have to temper your phone use, turn off most things you won't need, lower the screen brightness etc. But I'm guessing that you'll be wanting it for its phone and texting functions, rather than it's mobile computer functions ?

Firebox do one, it's pretty expensive but it is awesome! It's a stove that you can use to cook food on, and uses the hot air to generate electricity. I think it's around £150 though

My payg Samsung which is used as a play phone lasts a week on a full charge. That's a big standard calls and text phone. No camera or anything.
