Although we haven't used the phone charger, we have used the radio (just to test it) and the flashlight. The solar charger works well and while this is not a tremendously wide or bright beam, it does a more than adequate job. We especially like these when we walk at night or in case of an emergency when we travel - and we don't have to worry about whether the batteries are fresh.

I got two of these for emergencies. They charge pretty well if left in a bright window and very well from the USB port on my computer. I have not tried to charge one via the hand crank. The radio reception is OK-mediocre for AM. You have to rotate the radio to find the better reception and the sound tends to be somewhat static-y. There is an indicator bulb to let you know you've got the station. The flashlight would be OK for walking a dark pathway or to find something. Overall, for the price, I think it is a good deal and worthwhile having about the house. The bright color makes it fairly easy to spot, too.
