What Do You Think of the Myrtle Avenue Phone-Charging Station?

We've all been there— you're on the go, going about your daily business and BAM! your cellphone dies. In this day and age, a non-functioning cellphone is considered by some to be a cataclysmic event.

But Tweeters and Foursquare mayors who experience the tragic loss of battery power on Myrtle Avenue are in luck as a free solar-powered phone charging station has been installed at the North Portland entrance to Fort Greene Park. 

Brought to the neighborhood one week ago, the charging station is part of an ongoing effort by AT&T and Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration to keep New Yorkers connected.

AT&T Street Charge units work day or night, in sun or shade, and power up phones, tablets and other devices.

But the question remains: is it the answer to Brooklyn techie's prayers? Have you used the station? What do you make of it? Let us know in the comments section below.
