The Bottom Line The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best. The Samsung Solstice II is a solid midrange touch-screen feature phone that offers good value if you can look past a few inconveniences and variable call quality. The LG Encore may have a good set of features, but its poor touch screen and lagging performance prevent us from recommending it. Despite its faults, the LG Prime is a nice phone, especially given its price and the fact that you can get it without a contract. The Samsung Eternity succeeds as a multimedia device, but without Wi-Fi and full e-mail support, it stops well short of being a business-friendly device.
