There’s still not enough tangible evidence to pull the investment trigger on Nokia, based solely on this latest speculation. But there’s no doubt a smartphone with a solar-powered charging feature would change the playing field, and someone’s going to bring it to market. Why not Nokia?

Should a Nokia-inspired, solar-powered smartphone alternative come to pass — and rumors suggest it could be later this year — the 4.4 million Lumia’s sold in Q4 would pale in comparison. In the world of smartphones, each new device iteration seems little more than an improvement on existing technologies or features. But solar battery charging — that’ll be the first real game-changer in a long while. If Nokia Corporation  (ADR) (NYSE:NOK) introduces a solar smartphone ahead of its rivals, shareholders are going to enjoy a nice ride.
