Samsung Mobile and AT&T have announced the Samsung Solstice, a touch screen cell phone geared toward mobile social networking fans.
The handset is essentially a successor to the Samsung Eternity sans the latter’s poor mobile TV tuner. The Solstice features a 3.0-inch touch screen, a landscape QWERTY keyboard, and Samsung’s ever-improving TouchWiz interface, which works a lot better on feature phones than it initially did on Windows Mobile smartphones.
The Solstice also includes one-touch access to Facebook, MySpace, and Yahoo oneSearch widgets. In addition, there’s a 2-megapixel camera, haptic feedback for the touch screen, and a 3G data radio on board.
The device will hit AT&T retail locations and the carrier Web site on August 2nd for $99.99 with a two-year contract–well, actually, $149.99, because the mail-in rebate comes in the form of an annoying $50 gift card that you can’t deposit in your savings account.
