The good: The Samsung Solstice has an easy-to-use touch interface and a useful set of multimedia features. Photo quality is quite good.
The bad: The Samsung Solstice lacks instant messaging and the memory card slot is behind the battery. Call quality, browser speed, and video performance are unimpressive.
The bottom line: The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best.
When Samsung introduces a new cell phone in the United States, it's often the case that we've seen it somewhere before. And that's definitely true with the new Samsung Solstice for AT&T. Also called the SGH-A887, the Solstice sports a touch-screen design with few physical controls. It shows characteristics of several previous Samsung models, but its closest relative is probably T-Mobile's recent Samsung Highlight. The low-end multimedia feature is functional, but performance was mediocre and the Solstice doesn't offer anything we haven't seen before. You can get it for $100 with service.
Design
Like the Highlight, the Solstice offers a trim design with rounded corners. It's not quite as angular as the Samsung Behold or the Eternity, though it lacks the Highlight's color choice and patterned back side. We wouldn't call it stylish, but it's not unattractive either. It measures 4.3 inches by 2.1 inches by 0.5 inch and weighs 3.3 ounces, which gives it a comfortable and sturdy feel in the hand.
The 3-inch display is just big enough, though we wouldn't want it to be any smaller. With support for 262,000 colors and 400x240 pixels, it has a pleasant resolution that shows colors and graphics well. It won't knock your socks off, but it's suitably bright and vibrant for phone of this caliber. Samsung's TouchWiz interface gives you instant access to a variety of features, though we wish its customization options were more extensive. The icon-based menu interface is simple and intuitive. Permanent touch icons on the bottom of the screen open the dialpad, the phone book, and the main menu.
The dialpad and QWERTY keyboard are unchanged from previous Samsung touch-screen models. The dialpad features large alphanumeric numbers for calling and sending texts using T9 predictive text. We prefer to use the full alphabetic keyboard, however. The keys are somewhat small, but you can use T9 here as well. Basic punctuation is surfaced on the primary keyboard, but you must click through to a second keyboard for numbers and symbols.
The Solstice's accelerometer works across many applications. As with other Samsung touch-screen phones, you can switch between the keypad and keyboard by rotating the phone to the left (rotating it to the right will result in an upside-down keyboard). The handset also offers a motion-detection feature that will automatically mute a call or an alarm tone when you turn the phone and place it face down on a surface.
The display is responsive, whether you're selecting icons or scrolling through long lists. You can adjust the intensity of the vibrating feedback and change the display's calibration. As for other customization options, you can change the display's wallpaper, brightness, backlight time, font type, and greeting message.
Three physical buttons sit below the display: a Talk button, a back control, and the End/power key. The calling controls are flush, but the back button is easy to find by feel. The volume rocker rests on the left spine while a combined headset/charger jack and camera shutter sit on the right spine. The jack is proprietary and you can use only one peripheral at a time. Also on the right spine you'll find a control that opens a shortcut menu for the browser, the games menu, the music player, the messaging app, and the dialpad. There's also a command to end any open application. The camera lens and self-portrait mirror rest on the phone's back side and the memory card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery.
Features
The Highlight has a generous 2,000-contact phone book with room in each entry for four phone numbers, four e-mail addresses, three instant-messaging handles (AIM, Windows Live, and Yahoo), a URL, a birthday, a company name and job title, a nickname, two street addresses, and notes (the SIM card holds an additional 250 names). You can save callers to groups and you can pair them with a photo, an alert tone, and one of 25 (72-chord) polyphonic ringtones. We like the handy scroll bar that lets you move quickly through a long list of contacts.
Basic features include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, a calendar, a calculator, a memo pad, a task list, a tip calculator, an alarm clock, a world clock, a timer, a stopwatch, a currency and unit converter, and a speakerphone. You'll also find speaker-independent voice dialing and commands, USB mass storage, PC syncing, a file manager, Web-based POP3 e-mail, instant messaging, a voice memo recorder, GPS support with AT&T Navigator support, and full Bluetooth with a stereo profile. Instant messaging is not included, unfortunately.
The 2-megapixel camera takes pictures in five resolutions, from 1,600x1,200 pixels down to 320x240 pixels, and you can choose from four quality settings. Other editing options include four color effects, exposure metering, four white-balance settings, an adjustable brightness, a night mode, and a self-timer. The Solstice also features three shooting modes (continuous, panorama, and mosaic), 20 frames, and a "smile shot" option that promises to detect when a subject is smiling. Photo quality was excellent, with bright colors and little image noise.
The camcorder shoots clips in two resolutions (320x240 and 176x144) with sound. Editing options are similar to the still camera, though somewhat less extensive. Clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at 1 minute, but you can shoot for longer in standard mode. When finished with your shots and clips you can save to the phone, send them to a friend in a multimedia message, or transfer them to a computer via a memory card, USB cable, or Bluetooth. The Solstice also supports AT&T's Video Share service.
As a 3G (UMTS) phone, the Solstice offers the full set of AT&T's wireless broadband multimedia services. You'll find AT&T Video (streaming-video content) and AT&T Mobile Music (wireless song downloads through partners). The experience with the two applications is similar to that on other AT&T phones; both are minimalist in their designs, but the music player supports a wide variety of file formats (MP3, AAC, eAAC+, and WMA) and it offers useful features, such as album art, playlists, shuffle and repeat modes, and an airplane mode.
The Solstice follows its 3G predecessors by offering a solid selection of music-related features, such as support for XM Mobile, a Music ID app, music videos, and a community section with access to fan sites and downloads. You also get an application for creating your own ringtones and saving music tracks as ringtones.
The Solstice's full HTML browser is workable, but nothing special. It's relatively easy to enter URLs using the virtual keyboard and save bookmarks, but we can't abide the magnifying glass zooming method and the display is just a bit too small for comfortable viewing. Scrolling around the display was easy most of the time, but there were occasions where it felt slightly jerky. Also, since the Solstice defaults to a WAP version of a Web site when one is available (which is usually the case), there should be an easier way to switch to the full HTML version.
The Solstice offers a large number of apps, most of which are subscription-based. They include My-Cast Weather, WikiMobile, Yellowpages Mobile, MobiVJ, MobiTV XM Radio, and Mobile Banking. Gamers can play Tumbling Dice and test demos of Block Breaker, Diner Dash 2, The Sims 3, and World Poker Tour Hold Em 2. You'll have to buy the full versions for extended play. You also can download additional wallpapers and ringtones and you can create your own tones using an integrated app.
Performance
We tested the quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) world phone in San Francisco using AT&T service. Call quality wasn't the best we've heard. The volume was low, and the audio quality was patchy with audible static. We also had audio fade-outs during most conversations. It didn't totally ruin our calling experience, but we can't say that we enjoyed it.
On their end, callers also reported problems. They had trouble hearing us at times, particularly when we were using the phone in a noisy place like an airport departure lounge. Most of our friends also mentioned the static and audio fade-outs. Speakerphone calls were loud, but suffered from the same troubling audio quality. Bluetooth headset calls were about the same.
The Solstice is a 3G phone that supports AT&T's wireless broadband (UMTS 850/1900) network. Browser speed was slower than we've seen on comparable AT&T phones. A couple of times our connection timed out before we could get the browser started. And even when we did connect, the speed was rather slow. CNET's mobile site, for example, took almost a minute to load.
Video quality was average. As the AT&T Video interface is browser-based, we did experience the same connection problems that plagued the standard browser. Once we were able to get a video playing there was moderate pixelation, especially during action scenes. The audio was fine, and some videos paused midway through. Music quality was mixed as well. Though the external speakers have decent output, the audio isn't anything that you'd want to listen to for long. Headphones will offer a better experience.
The Solstice has a rated battery life of 5 hours talk time and 10.4 days standby time. It has a tested talk time of 8 hours and 58 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests the Solstice has a digital SAR of 0.85 watt per kilogram.

so far the best phone i've owned
by JacksSmirkingRevenge on September 25, 2009
Pros: sensitive,accurate screen,thin but durable,very light,bright screen,enough options for the average user,creative contacts list.plenty of ring tones.
Cons: low ear speaker sound.soft vibrate,MicroSD location(under battery)OS full keyboard a bit small.like any touchscreen,needs cleaning often.eyeglass cloth,$2 at wal-mart,etc..works great.

Summary: I tried 2 other touch screens prio to the solstice.The Xenon(had to replace 3 in 2 months)The Impression.I'm sure its a great phone new,but it was sent as a refurb in place of the Xenon.but again i had problems with 2 of those before having them allow me to buy a new phone at new customer pricing without a new contract.
I'll be honest and say i did replace it once because it stopped reading my sim.but they replaced it new and its been smooth sailing ever since.hasnt froze,locked up,shut down or any other major touchscreen issues.So i'm very happy with what i have now.the screen is a good size,accurate,sensitive and fun to work with.as mentioned in cons,the OS full keyboard is a little too small and i have very thin fingers.I usually use the T9 on the dial pad and its great.T9 is very smart and easy to switch back to numbers or symbols.dialing is smooth and fast and have lost only 1 or 2 calls so far.I also mentioned the phones ear speaker.it is a bit quiet and can be hard to hear in semi-noisy areas.but overall not THAT bad.i have heard worse.calls are clear and static free.the person on the other end can hear you just fine.never got complaints.speaker phone isnt great and i never use now.echoing on both sides.not that you have to,but a good bluetooth headset clears most of these problems.i use one for the most part anyway.
there is a lot of memory,a good selection of ringtones on at&t available or use one of the list of the tones that it comes with.there are more than most phones and arent as hokey.of course there are a few but its expected.
MicroSD is located under the battery which makes it difficult to remove.USB recommended(not included).Internet package would be usefull as well to transfer or upload anything to or from..
But for the price and the pro's,it is worth every penny.i'm not a phone inernet guy nor do i listen to music off it.so it has more than i need but is there if i want it.I'm glad i went through the problems and stress of the other phones.makes me love this one even more.i would recommend it to anyone looking for a great touchscreen that isnt a overpriced over hyped iPhone.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: After researching cell phones for some time, I was very disappointed in this model. The touch display seemed to be made for a stylus, not a finger. I have fairly small fingers with a lot dexterity and it took me 30 minutes to enter 3 contacts in the address book. After a while I started using the corner of my finger nail to open a field. I think it might be OK with a stylus, but the surface of the display felt thin and vulnerable. Also, the interface seemed illogical, and the owners manual that came with the phone only covered features that required additional subscriptions like data, GPS, and videos. The rest of the phone might work fine, but since the major feature of this phone is the touch screen I plan to return it tomorrow for another brand.

Couldnt have been more simple.
by heston91134 on October 30, 2009
Pros: Its slim. Lightweight, feels good in your hands. A one hander phone. And it definatley has a great camera. Good with text messaging picture and video messaging alike. Okay call quality. Fast 3G service support
Cons: Not as "hackable" as other at&t phones. A little laggy or unresponsive at times, but not very frequently. Voice command and GPS functions suck up a bunch of virtual memory.
Summary: Okay, if you are planning to stick with a fun phone that you'd want to use for about a year, its great. If you are looking for a phone ...
Summary: Okay, if you are planning to stick with a fun phone that you'd want to use for about a year, its great. If you are looking for a phone with hacking capabilities and a little more complex interface...... not so much this one. This phone has been great to me, so far. It didnt stick a bulge in my pocket and didnt feel cheap. Although, at times it might have lagged but ending all the programs on the shortcut menu usually solves that. The camera was excellent. Especially when sending it in a picture message. And the video camera quality was excellent too. I had wished for a more hackable phone, especially for WiFi (I was let down) but one of the most unique things that make it stand out is the accelarometer (however you spell that). This opens up ALOT of opportunities to this phone. When you needed to put the phone on mute, all you had to do was put the phone face down on a flat surface, or when you needed to snooze on an alarm, do the same. One thing that i would have liked it to have was a slide to unlock bar. It DOES have one but it is used only to unlock the timer when the time is up. The app store is fairly useful, but isnt even a percentage of what the apple app store is like on the iphone. If you are in a mix of this or the LG VU, go with this. If you are in a mix with this or the Iphone, go with the iphone. And if you are going to buy this phone, get it at a discount retailer, like walmart, for example. Thats where all the phone review junkies get theirs.

Wanted to like it but too many compromises.Sent back :(
by kwebmail on October 25, 2009
Pros: Biggest Pro? Call quality. Hands down this is the best cell phone I've ever had. People often thought I was on a land-line it sounded so good.
Thin and lightweight, much better size to carry than an iphone.
Nice virtual keyboard.Cons: Scrolling is poorly implemented. Far too many scrolls to move down a long list or browing.
Voice dialing (should be a strong selling point on a touch screen phone) is utter GARBAGE.
Speakerphone echoes.
AT&T junk pre-installed.
Other minor stuff.Summary: Man I REALLY tried to like this phone. My Sony W580i camera broke so I gave this a shot after reading the positive reviews. I like the size, not too ...
Summary: Man I REALLY tried to like this phone. My Sony W580i camera broke so I gave this a shot after reading the positive reviews. I like the size, not too big and bulky (iphone) not too expensive, nice size screen, good reviews, etc.
The ONE thing that made me keep trying to like it was the call quality. Honestly this thing sounds great, literally I had people asking if I was on a landline. Must be the network and phone combo in my area. This FAR exceeded my expectations and I've always thought "wow, if cell phones could just be great phones first I'd be in heaven.."....well, I was wrong.....there are other things that matter.
Unfortunately the great quality is somewhat mitigated by the fact that you have to hold it up to your ear at all times because you cannot use the speakerphone. It's just worthless. Trying to use the spearkerphone results in major feedback echoes that make it un-usaeble on the other end of the line (did anyone even TEST this function at Samsung?)
Surprisingly it had adequate battery life if you don't use the browser a lot.
Browser use depletes it pretty quick though.
Messaging is pretty easy, landscape mode and the virtual keyboard work well.
Bluetooth works well for file transfers.
The biggest 'across the board' problem is that scrolling is terrible. If you have a lot of contacts or are browsing the web, you'll soon get really sick of scroll, scroll, scroll to try to get through the data.
It really should have more 'inertial coasting' like the iphone or 'hold to continous scroll' buttom.
This was probably the deal breaker for me, since the phone has a nice large screen (which auto changes to landscape) and relatively fast on ATT 3G network. All the scrolling makes it simply not worthwhile to use for browsing and anything else you need to use like going through contacts.
A related issue I had (that you may not) was importing my contacts from the SIM. They came across in all kinds of screwed up ways (last name first, truncated names, missing numbers, etc). I have over 100 so this was not something I was looking forward to fixing but I started against my most frequently used contacts. Got about 30 of the common ones done to practice with in the month I had it.
And because the scrolling isn't great I tried to use the voice dialing (on a touch screen phone you can't dial without looking), Samsung uses some program called Nuance that is supposed to look at your contacts spelling and figure out the corresponding sound signature. good luck with that. You can't 'train' it and you can't improve it's accuracy rate.
I tried a couple of different ways of spelling my contacts, placing names in different fields and never got its accuracy above 1 out of 20 times on names. Numbers and yes/no work okay but so what? Overall it's just crap so there goes another potentially useful feature down the drain.
Honestly I prefer the 'training' approach of other phones as opposed to the 'one size fits none' of the Solstice. If it picks wrong once, it's ALWAYS going to pick wrong (these were not complicated names either). useless.
Minor stuff:
In landscape mode the camera lens is directly under where the fingers of your left hand rest. You can see and adjust though.
All the AT&T stuff is pay-to-play (navigator, demo games, etc etc) and better/free 3rd party apps (like GPS apps) won't work.
Scheduler, calendar doesn't default to having an alarm set to notify you when you enter a notice....what's the point of putting it in there if the thing won't remind you unless you scroll down and select 'alarm'.
Comes with nothing else useful in the box (no data cables, no headphones, no memory). I know this isn't new but c'mon couldn't Samsung toss a $1.25 data cable in there for your customers?
Bottom line I really wanted to like this phone but in the end I knew I'd just get more fed-up with its defects. I ended up taking the $35 hit on 're-stocking' and returned it.
Haven't found a replacement yet but I'm starting the search.
Hope this helps.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Worst phone I have owned since 1993
Pros: Price ($99), size and full keyboard.
Cons: Touch screen either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Screen too small for web use. Horrible web browser (may not be Samsung problem).

Summary: I bought this phone when I switched from a Blackberry Curve with Verizon to AT&T. It looked impressive in the store and the features appeared sufficient for my needs. I would have kept the Blackberry, but it is incompatible with AT&T service.
I initially blamed the performance difficulties on my unfamiliarity with this type of phone; however, after 2 months of using it, I realize the problem is the phone and/or AT&T.
The touch screen is the worst that I have ever used. It is far too sensitive, especially when trying to scroll through contacts or surf the web. You are constantly switching to contacts or screens that you do not want and then having to go back and try again. Perhaps Samsung should have included a stylus. I have an HP Pocket PC and have started using the stylus with the Solstice whenever I use the internet.
If I had used the internet browser more during the 30 day trial period, I would have returned the phone to AT&T. I only use the internet feature whenever I am unsure about the quality or value of a product when I am shopping, so it is not a daily occurrence. After a couple of really frustrating experiences, I have taken the time to really test it out and find it extremely unfriendly.
I have had Motorola Q, Blackberry Curve, LG, and Motorola StarTac cell phones in the past and I have never been motivated to write a review about a cell phone until I used this one. It may work out for you, but find out during the 30 guarantee period. I will probably buy a blackberry soon and chalk up the $99 cost for this phone to a learning experience.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

A very user friendly phone.
by johndenatale on October 5, 2009
Pros: I found the Samsung Solice to be a refreshing choice. Its style and function work well for me. And it has the basics down pat. Which are also important. And I didn't need to use the manual to figure things out.
Cons: If anything, which is being real picky, the return key could be highlighted some how.
Summary: A good solid phone, with sound everyday functions.

Summary: out of 2 seperate phones,when i had the solstice on speaker everyone that i spoke with would get a very bad ECHO and cherping sound and it wouldn't matter where my location was either.. Samsung tech's & at&t tech's could not trouble shoot the problem. they both requested I send in for repairs.but for 2 seperate phones to have the same problem. the solstice may be a great phone. but your friends or contacts may not like you very much when you are speaking to them on speaker...

I chose this over the Eternity
by regaug on September 25, 2009
Pros: Touch screen is fast and responsive, better than the Eternity
Build quality seems excellent; leather-like non-scratchable back
Music player sits in memory making it easy to stop/start with bluetooth
Small and light for a touchscreenCons: Wish the widgets were customizable (like adding new ones)
Wish they hadn't downgraded the camera res (only thing that is better on Eternity)
Learning to scroll on the touchscreen takes some real practice
Memory card sits behind battery (nit pick)Summary: I disagree with a lot of CNET's review; this is a solid, nice phone. I chose this over the Eternity and LG's VU because it seemed to have ...
Summary: I disagree with a lot of CNET's review; this is a solid, nice phone. I chose this over the Eternity and LG's VU because it seemed to have a better quality build, and seemed less "clunky". The Touch Wiz interface seems more responsive on the Solstice; that and the vibe feedback make it much easier to text with, IMO.
I chose this over the Impression because it was cheaper, lighter and smaller, and after trying them both out in the store, I decided I didn't want the slide-out keyboard. I learned to txt with predictive T9, and I can do that faster than use qwerty with my thumbs
I did not compare call quality between the Impression and Solstice; but I have read several reviews complaining of call quality and especially speakerphone echo problems on the Solstice. My phone does NOT have these issues, call quality seems normal, I am told it sounds just fine on speakerphone. On my end, the quality of the speakerphone is not quite as good as my trusty old LG CU500 music phone, but acceptable considering I usually listen to music via bluetooth.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Im really frustrated that Cnet rated this phone lower than the eternity. I have three friends that have the eternity and all have said the touch response works way better on the new Solstice. They also like the size and the camera difference is not really noticeable. Cnet seems to be as thorough in their compare and contrasts as they used to be

Summary: I liked Samsung Solstice's contacts list, which presented our friends as a fanned-out deck of cards we could swipe through. It didn't respond to my touch as quickly as other apps on the phone, but it was more graphically intense. The Solstice also gets speaker-independent voice dialing, and Samsung includes a TouchWiz widget to add a voice dialing button to your homescreen. Finally, the phone is one of AT&T's growing number of video share phones, so you can connect a 1-way video conference with the Samsung Solstice.
