No, cell phones draw too much power to be supplied by solar cells, unless you used a large solar panel. But you certainly can't build a solar cell into the back of the phone like you would a solar calculator. For example, one web source says a cell phone draws about 1 W. Another web source says solar panels can put out about 1.2 W for 100 cm2 in bright sunlight. So to power the cell phone you'd need a solar panel at least as large as a CD, probably more like a sheet of paper.
