No, it does not.

What does it do? It covers the battery compartment.

One word answer: NO
The back cover is not a solar panel.

Wow... Did someone actually tell you that? What ppl said that?

kevintrussler · 09-25-2011, 04:23 PM

on the back when u open the cover it connects to, two pins above the battery, that must do something right ?

NJBlackBerry · 09-25-2011, 04:25 PM

Omg...

kevintrussler · 09-25-2011, 04:29 PM

just wanted to no what the two metal pins do on the back of the cover, never had a blackberry before

Look at the inside of the door/cover and observe what appears to be an antenae. I hadn't thought about it, but my guess it's for NFC. But it isn't a solar panel.

I'm much more concerned about the other side. The one with the keyboard and touchscreen.

aiharkness · 09-25-2011, 04:56 PM

Yeah, how would the BlackBerry charge in the holster anyway?

aiharkness is correct, the two connections are for the NFC antenna.

Strap this on your back and charge your BB!
