Samsung Solstice Review
By admin on March 23rd, 2010
The Samsung Solstice A887 is a lot like the Samsung Highlight; it offers a touchscreen, as well as several multimedia features. What you will find with this mobile is performance that is only fair, and really nothing unique or new.
With the Samsung Solstice phone you get a trim designed phone, as well as soft, rounded corners; this phone measures 4.3 x 2.1 x 0.5 inches and weighs 3.3 ounces. It probably isn’t the world’s most stylish cell phone, but it’s not really what you would call unattractive either. On the front is a 3-inch display that supports 262,000 colors and 400x240 pixels.
The Solstice has the TouchWiz interface, which will give you easy access to many of the phone’s features. You will also get a dial pad and QWERTY keyboard, which are both easy to use. Some of the features you’ll get include a phonebook that will hold up to 2,000 contacts, in addition you also get some core features, like a vibrate mode, as well as text and multimedia messaging. There is a calendar, a calculator, and a memo pad, plus a speaker phone and much more.
The Samsung Solstice A887 does come with several advanced features; you will get support for email, Bluetooth, and GPS. For multimedia features you will get a 2-megapixel camera that can also record video. The photo quality with this camera is really very good, much better than what you might expect.
This 3G phone gives you access to a lot of great music, and there are a number of applications that come with this mobile. The Samsung Solstice A887 does have a preloaded, full HTML browser, so you can surf the Internet at high speeds.
Unfortunately, the call quality of the Samsung Solstice is not so great. The volume seems like it is much too low, and voices sometimes sound a little garbled. The video quality is a little better, but probably about average for a low-end phone. The battery rating for this phone is 5 hours of talk time and 10.4 days of standby time.
