Hand crank light?

Anybody know a quality hand crank light with phone charger etc? I bought one but it's a POS. Ultimately I would love one to charge phones, provide NOAA radio and flashlight.

Nobody has a cool hand crank emergency light?

I have this one. I picked it based off of reviews/ blog recommendations

It has good reception, the light is decent inside - enough to adequately light a room but I've pretty much just turned it on to make sure it worked. I use a car charger to charge it up usually, but we did play with the hand crank and it works, not sure what the crank - charge ratio is. It worked very well this past week when we got hit by the tornado.
Only missing option I would probably look for if I was to get a new one would be a solar panel for charging as well.
ETA: Only downside is it did not come with a car or wall charger, and the plug looks to be rather uncommon 4mm vs the more popular 5.5mm. I happened to find one (car charger) in a box of random plugs I had out in the garage.
