No, this is NOT a "Smartphone"
By Rob Illingworth
I'll presume Amazon was simply misinformed about this; the Solstice II is actually a "Quick-Messaging" Phone.Soon after I got this phone from AT&T, I looked at their site & a customer review titled "PRETTY SMART FOR NOT BEING A 'SMARTPHONE'", and I'm fairly inclined to agree. This kind is not the most practical for using the web(even per AT&T reps), but more for texting.I've got texting disabled for cost reasons, but even after nearly 2 years, the touchscreen QWERTY keyboard is fairly easy to use. Most functions on this phone soon become easy to understand, but several things I really appreciate are(1)Good Reception(many of my other neighbors have to take their phones outside to get reception, but my calls are crystal-clear throughout the house); very few calls dropped.(2)Great Battery Life--5 Hours for talking only (a blessing when my former phone battery, rated for 3 hours lasted only 1 1/2)(3)Great Camera & photo-editing ability--I can actually aim the phone at my computer monitor & get a picture looking close to the original; photo editing sometimes makes it hard to think I didn't actually download from the web!For those NOT really needing a Smartphone(& its costs), but good for texting & talking, THIS is the one for you.

Horrible phone with inherent software and firmware problems that can not be fixed
By Quest936
This phone is horrible. And after contacting Samsung I have found out mine isn't a lemon. It is an inherent problem with ALL of them (yet for some reason they didn't recall it or come up with a fix). It cuts off by itself, even in the middle of calls. Do NOT depend on its alarm because it will go off at the wrong times if it goes off at all. The touch screen is horrible calibrated and you can't change it. Also the screen will change from vertical to horizontal, or vice versa, for no reason. You will get text messages hours, even days, late. The screen will freeze. The only good thing about this phone is its size (if you don't like bulky phones). Other than that it has no value once so ever.

By vlad
It's easier to say what's not wrong with this model then to say what is. Shuts off on its own, crappy signal, speaker randomly stops working right in the middle of the conversation, touch screen is not accurate and and there's no option to calibrate it... Pretty much garbage - do not buy.
