Samsung Solstice II

The Samsung Solstice (Free, 3 stars) was a decent if unremarkable touch-screen cell phone. The revised model, unceremoniously dubbed the Solstice II ($29.99-179.99), continues the same tradition. It's a very modest refresh; the changes are confined to some styling and feature tweaks and improved global roaming options. Unfortunately, that's not enough to stand out in a sea of other choices on AT&T, especially because of AT&T's expensive service plans and cheap smartphones. The Samsung Solstice II measures 4.3 by 2.1 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.4 ounces. It's made entirely of cheap-feeling plastic, but the textured silver accent band and soft-touch back panel give the phone a touch of style. The 3-inch, 240-by-400-pixel, plastic resistive touch screen was suitably bright and colorful. Three function buttons beneath the screen handle Send, End, and Back duties. Since the End key doubles as the power button, an extra hardware lock slider on the top right edge lets you put the phone away quickly, The on-screen QWERTY keyboard was a bit cramped thanks to the smallish screen, but a touch of haptic feedback helped keep my typing reasonably accurate.

Samsung Solstice II Review

We've witnessed Samsung releasing follow up models to feature phones like the Eternity and Flight, but they're not stopping yet as the Samsung Solstice II SGH-A817 is the latest member to join the club. Being a direct successor, it's going to require some particularly outstanding improvements in order to refocus consumer attention on it in light of some entry-level smartphones. Accordingly priced at $29.99 with a contract through AT&T, the Solstice II will at least be very forgiving on the pockets.The package contains:It's more of the same for this typical looking candybar handset as it employs the traditional mix of design cues common with other basic Samsung feature phones – like its all plastic boring looking construction. Compact in form (0.47” thick) and fairly lightweight (3.35 oz), it won't burden you in the pockets as it quickly disappears into the depths without much notice. Although its design is far from remotely being close to compelling, it's more than fitting for the category placement it finds itself in. Size Visualization ToolSuccessive handsets generally receive an upgrade in specs, but sadly, the Solstice II retains the same exact display with its resolution of 240 x 400 pixels.
