 Samsung's H2O Fuel Cell Ready for 2010? Samsung revealed a water powered phone at the 2007 Korea Electronics Show. The fuel cell phone is powered when water comes into contact with metal to create hydrogen gas. Oh Yonh-soo, Samsung’s VP of EM Research, explains, “The gas is then supplied to the fuel cell where it reacts with oxygen in the air to generate power.” While most fuel cells require methanol, Samsung’s cells only need water. One refill could charge a phone for 10 hours. The company’s goal is to rollout with fuel celled powered phones by 2010.  Oh said water-powered handsets are expected to hit the market by 2010. "If the user uses the phone for four hours a day on average, they would have to change the hydrogen cartridge about every five days," Oh said. "Later handsets will be developed that don't need the hydrogen cartridges to be changed, and would only need to be filled with water."
