手机居然也可以使用5号电池
Olive Telecom has Introduced India’s first handset called Olive Frvron (V-G2300) that can be powered by a AAA battery. The handset is primarily powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. In case the primary battery dries out and there is no power source available nearby, the handset can provide an hours talktime on a standard AAA battery.
Except for the dual-power option, the handset has no biggies on the specs sheet. It features a 1.5″ color display along with built-in FM radio, speaker phone and polyphonic ringtones. A compromise on low specs always means a win on the pricing. The handset is pried at Rs. 1699 ($37) and is available in the markets. The low pricing and dual-power option may bring some good sales numbers for Olive Telecom in the rural parts of India which face some severe power cuts.
From dual SIM to dual powered phones. I think very soon we’ll have phones (commercially available) driving power from various sources like solar and dynamo. After the price war that plagued the mobile operators in India only time will tell what it does to the low end cell phone markets like rural India with entrants like Vodafone’s Voda 150 & 250 all ready to put it on fire.

手机使用的锂电池虽然耐用，但是更换和充电都不够人性化。尤其是在户外无法充电的情况下，使用锂电池的手机基本就处于瘫痪状态了。不过Olive Telecom推出的这款手机--VG2300是一款可以支持AAA电池的手机。
这款VG2300配备有一个1.5寸的屏幕，支持FM收音。手机采用GSM制式，因此使用CDMA制式的手机就基本无解了。另外据说该手机的定价大约是37美元，看起来还是非常便宜的。■
