You won’t find many high-end features on board, but the style does make up for at least part of that. The display screen is surprisingly good – much better than you would normally get with a mid-range handset. AT&T’s Cellular Video service worked without a hitch. Also, call quality is top-notch. If you are trying to keep tabs on all your social media accounts, the AT&T Social Net app will keep you updated on Facebook, Twitter & MySpace all at the same time.

Unfortunately, the Samsung Solstice’s UI isn’t that great. It’s called TouchWiz, and is supposed to work wonders, but it didn’t live up to the hype (for me anyway). And as with a lot of virtual QWERTY keyboards, this one just doesn’t feel as comfortable as real buttons. A couple other things I found disappointing are: it doesn’t have WiFi, the web browser could be better, it only features a 2 megapixel camera & messaging features aren’t that impressive.

Even with those few gripes, the Samsung Solstice is still a good buy – especially at its current $100 price tag. It’s very thin and light, and while the feature set isn’t spectacular, it should still have everything most people will need.
