Samsung Solstice a887 Video Review

[Treylennon0407]

you can get a 3.5 mm adapter for .99 cents on ebay i got one

[dolphin011927]

does it have a contract

[caligal2010]

Liked the review except for the biased cnn site. Other than that, it was okay.

[juliogros]

You should have named your video Samsung Solstice compared vs. Eternity.

[Gravitas37]

Excellent review. Best I've seen yet.

[MW2nukesandtips]

@moneyquickeasy don't listen to that guy ive had this phone since it's been out and it works fine, he's just mad cuz it's not an iPhone

[linksta9111]

Sometimes i wish that all the phone companys kept the same name for a phone ex:

telus- Samsung advance

AT&T- samsung solstice

both same phones just diffrent backs and diffrent plans

[jjhjjji00]

Im getting this phone in 1 month i know its late and this phone has been out for awhile but i think it looks pretty cool :D its better than my rumor 2 Can someone please tell me if this phone is a good choice?

[RoseyPiink]

@jjhjjji00 i think it is:)

[1960ebutuoy]

hard to watch with camera out of focus!

[kbawesome101]

This phone is free now. In fact a lot of phones are free, including the smartphone, Palm Pixi Plus.

[sinhult]

No one really has anything about the battery life could someone tell me how long it would last having the use of a person who will just txt throught the day not heavily using it though

thanks sean.

[FLUFF260]

did u kno that u can make this phone prepaid with at n t go phone

[haxxxxxify]

@FLUFF260 herp derp



[mr5353]

Yahoo Messenger?

[SpankyLalo]

Im using mine to watch this video Im happy with it just wish I can add more widgets I did get the unlimited data plan but Im in a family plan so my bill is still 35 dollars a month

[xpurpldoxx]

i've had this phone for a couple months and i dont like it at all.

im getting a blackberry curve.

[DangItzKekeronii]

It's easy to change the text tone. :)

here's how;

Menu>Settings>Sound Profile>[Choose whatever & click it]>In the top right where there's a little drop down box click message>Message Alert Tone>On the bottom click Tones>Then go to your ringtones! (: that's allll. :D

[foofydeezz516]

can someone tell me the price of this phone if its not time for your upgrade? is it worth the money/ is it a good phone? and does it have twitter? please answer these questions!!! thanx!!!

[codyhuffmanTV]

@foofydeezz516 ummm i think it costs like 30 dollers on at@t and if it has htlm it has twitter

[briilovesyuu1]

@foofydeezz516 as of now the price is 220 but it could be different it just depends on what store you go to. the phone is amazing but i only bought it for 130 and it was SO worth it!!! i dont know if it has twitter because i dont use those apps or the internet. hope this helped. ( :

[xemilyxbearx]

thank you for going threw the apps! very helpful

[klingstuh]

...So do I get it or not? I won't have a data plan, so would it be pointless?

[puzzake]

what's with the comparison to all these other phones? all we want is the review on the solstice not how it compares to other phones that i've probably never had or seen.

[avrilrockedyou]

hahah all this time I thought I hadda pay extra for that mobile video. You sure made my day with sharing that 'free with unlimited' tip!

[pdgftwa]

is this also keyboards??/ sry didnt have time to watch the whole vid so yea...

[CGBabe101]

@pdgftwa

You mean full keyboard? Its not a phone where you push it out and it has a full keyboard, if you turn your phone to the left while in Create a Message it shows a full keyboard on the screen.

[ucanttuchdis5678]

Does this and the Impression have memory card slots? f so, how large of a card can they hold?

[LoRdOrAnGeJuice]

@ucanttuchdis5678 Micro SD. up to 16 GB.

[1cublock7]

lol i have the eternity and was thinking of getting this but clearly its better than this one

[liamhardy1996]

lol 3:53 she almost dropped it!

[jambaboy789]

Solstice? Impression? Mythic?

AND WHY...

[GetSome200H8]

Is there flash on the camera ?

[emal510]

nope

[Matyme]

@GetSome200H8 She says in 4:02. No flash.

[sprtn117c]

Really good phone! I have had it since november 09 and i like it. The only problem is if you have big fingers, its hard to text with the qwerty keyboard. I don't but some of my friends dont.

[iamsmilie]

such a copy of the instinct....

imu rite??

[1cublock7]

no, the instinct was made after the eternity....this is a copy of the eternity

[OMGItsSuicidalKytten]

Hate this phone so much.

Replaced it with the samsung impression and i'm so much happier.

The main problem with this phone is the texting, if you have big fingers it's nearly impossible to type. Also it lags and stuff.

[moneyquickeasy]

@OMGItsSuicidalKytten LOL. Like the impression doesn't lag...

[xXgtrfretzXx]

@moneyquickeasy 4 the love of God dont get it, it'll stop working after a year. get this or the ones that look like the blackberry, but not the samsung impression. Trust me i had it just...just dont get

[radsk8er12]

@wickedlypamx

yes you need a data plan to use facebook and myspace on this phone

[DennyChenny]

u need a better cam

[malenaudani]

how do you TAKE a video?

[AwesomeWerda]

i agree. how DO u take a video??

[sprtn117c]

You press the camera button then at the top left is a button that lets you select what you want to take

[monkey152344]

you go to tools,camera,than on the left it'll have the little camera icon and you touch it and it lets you choose camera or camcorder

[monkey152344]

go to menu,tools,camera,use the top button

[wickedlypamx]

To use Facebook and MySpace on the phone, do you need a data plan?

[OMGItsSuicidalKytten]

Yeah, data plan includes internet use.

[Tboninator]

@wickedlypamx

If you don't want to pay exorbitant prices for the data transferred, then yes, but you don't need it. You'll just end up paying more if you use it regularly.

[craziidazii189]

@wickedlypamx yea 

[metalmagex]

@wickedlypamx idk if some told u this yet but yeah u do

[KaySkywalker]

@wickedlypamx no you don't well with Telus you don't need a data plan

[ChristyIsBeast]

@wickedlypamx No , You Just Gotta Get Internet On Your Plan. But If The Phone Comes With a Data Plan Their's No Way You Can't Get It Without.

[caligal2010]

@ChristyIsBeast I've had this phone since the day it came out and it works as if it were brand new. What the fuck are you talking about?

[tytytyty69]

can u change call ringtones to recorded sounds? and how abt customizable message toness? is that possible....thanks

[watzuphomie]

so it doesnt have an sd card slot???

[cagunna]

yes it does, its located under the battery in the back , she also said that in the video

[TheSexichocolate14]

im hetin dis phone friday

[PEANUTE4]

@DonTDenYSharia5 no you dont have to

[AllanCostaBMX]

i have to get this phone because i broke my lg vu and im not sure if i like it so much

[Izemann92]

Which is better, this or the LG Xenon?

[ynnanicolet]

@Izemann92 omg, r u kidding? LG XENON rocks! i have it, returned the samsung two weeks ago.

[monkey152344]

This, it's lighter

[ReverseMyCurse1]

This is such a great phone

[supergun101]

u have so many phones!!!!!!!!!!!!! do u work for somebody or u r a billionare??

[MarreroProductions]

lol no the companies like samsung or best buy send her the phones for free to review and advertise and she sends it back to them

[p00h976]

[Lesley10111]

i got this phone a few days ago and i love it!!

[alanckaye]

crappy phone

[brownnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

can you change the text message alerts for this phone or no?

[wowdeathknighting]

yeah look it up

[OMGItsSuicidalKytten]

Yeah.

You go to setting-sound profile-normal- then scroll down to message and you can change stuff from there.

[beade1234]

hello can you tell me how to download pictures of this phone to the pc thanks

[Pyridoxinexx]

text them to your email

[YUSTALKINME]

got this on the 31st and its amazing i love this!!!!

[mauvehead]

i jsut traded my lg neon for this yesterday and im so glad! so much more freedom, i wish i knew how to change the txt tone, becasue it confuses me and my mom, she has that same sound. but i love it!!!

[liandriunreal]

can u set mp3s as a ringtone with this phone?

[raperoxxx995]

i want to know how to dowload games,,and install

[brigettelaura]

I got mine yesterday. It was $186.94 with a $30.00 monthly data plan. So happy with it, although I wish it had a full non-touchscreen keyboard.

[Giniebinie01]

well in va

itz 50 dollarz w/ tha rebate

n im getting it =] yay!!

[superchunky3]

So this phone with the 2 yr contract is 50~99 dollars am I correct? and is it responsive?

[SJMR94]

actually right now its free :)

but you gotta get a 20 dollar data plan if you want it free

[superchunky3]

@'SJMR94' Well in NY it's 50 dollars with a 50 dollar rebate so i get my money back later xD

[AntBiteProDuctions]

you really dont go into much depth on the solstice as much as putting it down to other phones

[MobileTechReview]

We have an in-depth written review on mobiletechreview web site.

[violettt779]

i have this phone

its awesommeeeeeeeeee

[whotfsru]

does it hav a keyboard

[bakudude17]

@whotfsru

no the touch screen is the key board

[saltynuts916]

on screen when you turn it to text. everything on the phone is touch except for the 3 at the bottom

[superunknown831]

can you change the pictures on the phone?? not the wallpaper but the pictures that come on while your unlocking the phone or after you have locked it.... im wondering cuz the pictures really bother me

[trackstar7000]

no lol unfortunatley not. they are so gay arent they? haha. i have no clue why samsung thought their customers would enjoy seeing rainbows when they locked their phone. i guess i just wont lock mine.

[agn0415]

i get a free phone at the end of the month...and this phone is listed on the free phone.. do u think it will still be there by the end of the month?

[sstormlai33]

My brother just got this yesterday for free from the 2 year thing, i think it will be there still, hope that helped :] My brother likes the phone alot ^^

[mushufreak]

@sstormlai33 i have the 2 year thing also. did you have to do the mail in rebate activation thing? because it says its free, only after mail in rebate.

[csuci805]

no 3.5mm headjack thats wack! eternity wins@@!!!

[louis1152]

got a question is the phone head set a jack or do i have to use a jack similar to the chargers.

[MarreroProductions]

you have to use a jack similar the chargers, the adapter cost $10 at the samsung website

[k20fg2]

go Xenon but i would recommand the impression bigger screen

[TheGameCult]

This or Xenon im going to be texting alot

[StephenK1000]

Nooo. Don't get the Xenon. It freezes a lot. And the buttons chip off

[tekknking]

yep either get this or impression, the impression is just solstice with a keyboard, i dont really like it that much cause my hands are humongouse so i cant have a keyboard phone or ill break it, so i went with the solstice, also solstice is having a little sale right before christmas, its FREE but once chrismas hits, the sale is off and it goes back to like 150 dollars.

[jmlwild1]

Same thing i did

[sstormlai33]

I got the xenon yesterday, my brother got this phone, to me, its actually easier to txt on this phone other than the xenon but i love my xenon, its has a task menu, so you can mulitask, unlike this phone. they are both great phones though :]

[linksezhai]

Okay, so is there anywhere you can go to find out which widgets require the 30/mo. data plan? I was looking at this phone and it looks great, but if I get it I want to be careful in case I accidentally tap something wrong.

[comegetmyxlove]

should i get this or the mythic? they're both VERY alike..only thing i noticed was that the mythic seemed a lot slower and has 3 homescreens...

[caddog0sugar]

if i buy extra memory, can i listen to music and watch movies on this phone?

[corinnalee73]

can you add your own apps (like the iphone) to the phone?

[gomon90]

i've noticed that battery level dropped from 4 bars to couple of bars in few min after watching the video and using the internet.

[corinnalee73]

texting also runs the battery down a lot.

[linksezhai]

@gomon90 If you noticed, the video starts at 3:22, then where I noticed the change to 2 bars was at 3:44, then after she leaves the internet it jumps to 3:36. Have you thought that this video wasn't recorded in one go? Not saying that this wouldn't run out of power, but they could have recorded, went over it, saw a few clips that needed to be redone, rerecorded, then checked, then rerecorded.

[FastEddie718]

the other day i went into AT&T with my mom and i checked this phone out and i really liked it. only problem is... we are with t mobile, who imo has no "cool" phones like the solstice, or at least doesnt have what i like. ive heard of people getting iphones and then sending them away to be hacked so that it could be used with different companies ( t mobile, verizon, sprint, etc). is there any way i can do this with the solstice? because i really really love this phone. thank you

[Corkoth55]

samsung salstace? xDD

[abkb928]

Data service not needed for this?

[corinnalee73]

no, it's not required, but you'd need the data plan to access the internet

[Nickolaz19]

dis phone is really good in my opinion.

[Arxiuz2]

The Samsung Zet now is 'slightly' old, but

Samsung Korea are breaking out with their touchwiz 2.0, with 'AMOLED' technology, which most phones dont have- a great feature where you can see the screen, even in bright places, without using much battery power

;) Just an update~

[Jwh112719]

Does this phone have the iphone touch screen or like the impression touch screen?

[mysteezyfooty]

impression, but its supposed to be very responsive

[sydneycoffey]

i got this phone today its awsome i would get if i were u

[kimor121]

i just ordered this phone & should recieve it tomorrow.

this video helped me alot and i cannot wait to use my new phone! :D

[GodofToiletPaper]

Actually I don't think my local store had it at the time I went to get my eternity, but I probably should have waited.

[GodofToiletPaper]

Definitely should have gotten this over the Eternity :(

[Robokep]

did anyone else notice that while she was showing the phone, the battery was draining??

[prendy47]

lol it was

[KillerOfDaShadowz]

Haha yeah, I noticed that to. I hope mine doesnt die that fast :P

[Airsofter4444]

it went down b/c she was on the navigator and whatching some videos which takes it down ALOT!

[gfromhell3]

Does anybody know if i have to pay to use facebook, and myspace, and the internet

[ShazOFilms]

it depends on your data plan

[kev0001000]

I had an LG vu for a couple of weeks. It sucked really bad so I sent it back in to get this phone instead. Anyone have any complaints?

[bozio89]

ive had this phone for 4 days and im tellin everyone i can how awesome it is. This phone has no flaws yet from wat i see. Some people complain about it 2 mp camera but who the hell cares. If you want clear pictures buy a frickin camera. get this phone and you wont regret it

[Tehsnicker]

i jsut bought this phone 4 days ago toooo! no joke haha maybe like 5, itss great but only thing that sucks is it doesent come with a usb? is there any fun things i can put on this phone that i do not know about??

[bozio89]

homie i just bout a phone case, usb cable, and car charger for this phone all for $9 on ebay....check it out!! they got pretty much every accessory on there for dirt cheap compared to cingular stores

[corinnalee73]

Do you have to have a Data Plan (like an iPhone) for the Samsung Solstice or the Samsung Eternity?

[seanthomas586]

u dont need 1, even tho its good 2 get 1.

[demiselenaworldclub9]

it's hard to text with the eternity

[suns3134]

no you dont

[ChainbladeVideos]

No .. i just got it today and even though i have the plan. it said you can buy it without commitment.

Its a fun little phone.. ive been playing with it all day !

[cooldude12345657]

[MobileTechReview]

The phone has clear audio and above average volume though not super loud. We have a full written review on the mobiletechreview web site. Please feel free to check it out.
