While Samsung and LG are busy tooling around with pretty-but-unavailable solar phone concepts, Sharp is actually doing something about it (as is ZTE, now that we think about it) by prepping a retail model in partnership with Japanese carrier KDDI au. Sharp's taking it one step further, though, by making its unnamed model fully waterproof -- a surprisingly common feature among domestic-market Japanese phones -- making it the first such handset to be released anywhere in the world. It'll launch this June as part of KDDI's seasonal summer collection.
