Samsung and AT&T unveiled a successor to the original Solstice feature phone, which was announced at the end of July last year. The new version of the device keeps the QWERTY side-slider form factor, making it another Quick Messaging device in the carrier’s portfolio. In addition, there’s a 3-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) touchscreen, 2-megapixel camera, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 and a microSD memory card slot. In terms of supported services, the Solstice II can sing along AT&T Social Net, AT&T Navigator, AT&T Music and Radio, and there’s also the option to grab apps from AT&T AppCenter.
As expected with Samsung’s mid-range and above devices, TouchWIZ is running the show, offering users quick access to frequently used apps and popular social networking sites.
All this could be yours for 30 bucks ($29.99) with an appropriate contract. The release date is set at November 7th when the Solstice II should be available on AT&T’s website and across their retail locations nationwide.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
