Samsung Solstice SGH-A887 (AT&T)

By (cnet.com)

The Samsung Solstice has a user-friendly touch interface and a useful set of multimedia features. Photo quality is quite good

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 Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best.

Samsung Solstice SGH-a887

By Jamie Lendino (pcmag.com)

The Samsung Solstice SGH-a887 is a solid but unremarkable touch screen phone. If it looks familiar, that's because it's essentially the same handset on AT&T as the Samsung Highlight SGH-t749 is on T-Mobile. The Solstice trades the Highlight's garish ...

Svelte, lightweight design. Good balance of features for the price

Proprietary headphone jack. Memory card slot located underneath the battery

There's nothing spectacular about the Samsung Solstice, but it's a nice choice for anyone who wants a lightweight touch screen phone that doesn't bust the budget.

No earbuds are bundled with the Solstice, so pick up a compatible set when...

"Couldnt have been more simple."

By heston91134 (cnet.com)

Okay, if you are planning to stick with a fun... 

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

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
