[zulonz]

have had this phone for 2 years! Luckily im due for an upgrade in october so im switching to a smartphone. Had to have my first solstice replaced because the back light went out. Hate how unresponsive the touch screen can be. Not a very good phone overall.

[drakelovr]

I have that phone it sucks! :)

[triahmae101]

my dad got this phone and when you click "my Stuff " it clicked Mobile Web and hat happened about 16 times -.- And we had to pay 32 dollars I HATE THE PHONE the Camera suck too .

[MUSICLVR70]

This phone blows big! Everyone sounds muffled and hubby says I sound muffled as well. Scrolling function sucks as well and it doesn't come with a headphone for the MP3 player.

Hate it!!!! Hate it!!!!

[JAMoore0123]

how do you delete words from your T9 word dictionary on this???

[xFearlessNightmarex]

shit I hate this phone.

so much.

the touch screen sucks,

it glitches all the time and stops sending texts so I have to restart it,

I'm getting rid of this for a Blackberry Torch.

I need a keyboard -___-

[Lethalis1234]

shit phone.. get the HTC Inspire

[MsXboxAddict]

Help! I have this phone and I was running with it in my pocket and when i took it out I found all of my contacts were deleted! D: How do I restore my contacts??!! I had 50 nd now i have only 5...LOL HELP!



[TheAlecProductions]

I love this phone, but the only problem is that it doesn't have threaded messaging like the iPhone.

[JoshyWoshyVids]

I've had this phone for quite a while. Best battery life of any phone I've ever had! pretty durable too. I really beat the hell out of mine though. Probably getting a Pantech Laser in July :DD

[wired1232050]

This phone was very good. I dropped like 50 times, fell in the toilet 2-4 times, and it has gotten thrown 10-12 times (can you tell i'm bad at taking care of stuff?)and it still works.. only problems I actually had was the speaker. Only downside was that there was no headphone jack.

[EWalk131]

the only thing i dnt like about this phone is when the battery is low itll vibrate hardcore every 5 minutes and just waste more battery

[pizzaboxify]

@EWalk131 hey i know what your talking about!! so annoying-a way to fix that is to switch the phone to normal mode. so that it wont vibrate, butmake a faint beeping sound instead!

[AERO3437]

how does the video share work?

[blazeboy33]

does the facebook, youtube etc, cost extra money if your on a messaging data plan?

[MLIncorperated]

@blazeboy33 hope it doesnt i plan on getting this phone lol

[blazeboy33]

@MLIncorperated lol

[RKEreal1]

how do you send files (photos, videos, etc) to your pc via bluetooth?? I have been trying for weeks but am having NO luck :/  PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

[L3GITxD3SI]

@RKEreal1 Your Computer Must Have Bluetooth Connection . Usually Laptops Are The Only Ones With That Capability . Just Look In Control Panel (:

[RKEreal1]

@L3GITxD3SI

i have a Dell Inspirion 1526 running on Vista. I looked in the control panel and searched "bluetooth" in the Control Panel and i had no luck at all :/

[L3GITxD3SI]

@RKEreal1 I Looked Your Model Up . That Particular Computer Does Require A Bluetooth Adapter Which Cost A Good Chunk Of Money . You Buy It And Install It With The CD It Comes With . Sorry About That :( If Your Just Trying To Send Pics/Video , You Can Send It Via Email If You Have Multimedia Messaging . Just Attach It To A Multimedia Message And Instead Of Entering A Phone Number , You Just Gotta Enter Your Email . Hope I Helped At Least A Little Bit :P

[kenshinbattousai374]

@L3GITxD3SI NO u DiDN'T

[KYLEAIRWAYS]

The speaker on the phone is terrable. I want a way to plug it in to my computer. I want to be able to use normal head phones.

[angie1800]

I had both the Samsung Eternity and upgraded to the Solstice about a year ago. the Eternity is a MUCH better phone than the Solstice. The solstice is not worth it at all, it's a TERRIBLE phone. do NOT waste your money on it.

[TheStonewolf1]

samsung sunburst is way better

[Cutieflutegurl]

im getting one of these for christmas :D

[cesarisaias95]

@Cutieflutegurl Me too! :)

[laughingidiot565]

[MrMj357]

@LyriicsLover i like it so far, mine was free though

[tssracing14]

i loved mine even though it got stolen after a week

[blueishbirdnfirefly3]

@LyriicsLover I used to have it, and no. It's not worth it, at all. It's HORRIBLE. I hated it.

[AnnieC7611]

Is the Samsung Solstice 2 better?

[eddie8988]

@AnnieC7611 yes it is

[smileykia62]

it looks just like the samsung impression

[alaanamaree]

I have a Samsung Transform. Like the Epic but of course I have Sprint as well but mine is MUCH better than this thing. This dont even seem like a smartphone "/

[MrMj357]

@alaanamaree its not its a feature phone

[LilCutie241]

THATS MY PHONE!!! haha

[doughboy0011]

@LilCutie241 do u like it is it easy to text on sorry i might be getting it

[LilCutie241]

@doughboy0011 at first i got annoyed because its kind of hard to txt on it, but you just have it get used to it..its a very good phone.

[doughboy0011]

@doughboy0011 thanx so much for coping bakk i think i might get the mythic thank you any ways though

[Danifetish]

[RSkiller24]

does this phone show conversations for each person in texting? and can it have a signature?

[TheBrutalBrandi]

AHHH!!!!!! Cant wait till i get that phone. Got 2 weeks left.

[kbawesome101]

Should I get this phone or the palm pixi plus?because idk if the pixi supports gmail and I could just make another email account to help organize everything(of course yahoo)

[alaanamaree]

@kbawesome101 The Pixi!!!!!!! Its MUCH better than this.

[8xoxiceprincessxox8]

@katytheunicorn solstice!!! it has no glitches i had it but dropped it in the pool :(

[BrianAE15]

@8xoxiceprincessxox8 Is the battery durable?

[123Spoungebob]

@BrianAE15 it lasts about 6 hours with non stop use with anything like games or video taping or texting and around 15 hours or longer on stand by (not using it)

[copmGdawg]

how do you send pics to your email?

[Keonna19398]

Does the Solstice take good pictures?.

[Strawberry2298]

Does it slide to a qwerty? 

[Keonna19398]

@Strawberry2298 No it doesn't the t9 and qwerty keyboard are virtual/touch screen

[GoalHoops22]

@Strawberry2298 no.

[Danielfacebook11]

actually i prefure the Samsung solstice because the backing and more wigets because, i dont know about how messy the Eternity's bcaking can get, but i like that the leather wont get messy unless ur careless and drop stuff on it

[jessandkali2123]

Is the touch screen that bad? 

[MrMarkster97]

does this have a flashlight???

[PlanBskater1231]

im either geting this phone next week or the week after im happy

[LaLaLaLaScouter]

@PlanBskater1231 yu should be. Its wonderful! :)

[trishaiskool]

When U wanna add apps like facebook do u have to have internet?

[Swiftfan7918]

@wirefly can u do a video for changing the background on the solstice?

[Purpleboo11]

just got this a week ago, it is awesome.:D

[samskins]

@Purpleboo11

when you makes calls on it, is the voice clear? Theres no static or choppyness right?

[Purpleboo11]

@samskins

yeah unless theres no signal

[LaurenAndLeightonTV]

@samskins right, the other reviews all said that it was great quality. no static, no background noises, and it gives you a beep before the call is completely lost. :)

[nekonikko54]

I have this phone but I got the purple one. It's a good phone but the touch screen gets scratched easily :P

[ShawnSolomonTV]

This looks like the samsung advance

[cbourgeois100]

this phone rocks but it is limited

[TheAffrowPro]

@quybz  solitice

[OliverSplat]

The solstice touchscreen is really nice for texting. For all of the phones I have texted with that were only touchscreens the newer Samsung's (Solstice, Mythic) are the best. Another thing to add is that a lot of phones buckle down under water damage. This phone isn't waterproof but almost evreything still works perfectly and sometimes better (the camera) if water is accidently poured onto it.

[sportzman10]

solstice or eternity????

[gee1234567890]

@sportzman10 the mythic is a newer version of the eternity, so i would suggest that

[gtadrifter1000]

Is it a smart phone because it is $30 buck origanlly $80 but theres a $50 rebate!

[Angel3561]

Does anyone know if this phone is connected to the internet all the time? Like a blackberry or smartphone or sumthin?

Cause I want this phone, but I don't have unlimited web on my plan...

[thatkidcesar]

@Angel3561 i have this phone,and i dont have unlimted web on mine either,but it hasn't charged me or anything so i guess not.

[ladygir123]

I have this phone and I fucking love it :D

[1923jared]

ugly

[maplestorykool]

i had this phone for like a few months and it is soooo boring, i hate this phone, cant wait till i get anothr phone! but if u just want a boring phone and touvhscreen than this is the phone for u

[ana3320]

i want this phone and im gonna get this phone!! :)

[sonicgotagun]

Solstice rocks

[UPGREYEDD9]

do any of you no how to change the wallpeper on the unlock screen?

[HollowVizored25]

@UPGREYEDD9 Its impossible to change.....which really sucks.......the actual only way to change it is by using some 3rd party software which I wouldn't recommend you doing...

[Dwert79]

The Sunburst is better

[SuppahKidd123]

@SuperGamersUnite Whats So Great About It ? The Touchscreen Part ?

[SuperGamersUnite]

I have the Solstice, and let me say one of the greatest phones i've seen, not including IPhone. =) Get the solstice its great!

[PieschelWithAviators]

[copmGdawg]

[allieclarkkk]

[lam97soccer]

[Shanni22]

The other thing is, I have very poor eyesight..is there a phone that you wld suggest that would work better for me than the Solstice ?

[poohsan]

do you need internet access to get into the app centeR?

[TinaEsconde]

i can never find a good cover, i hav a pink rubber cover n yah... ive had my solstice since it came out n its a good phone n it has ABSOLUTELY no scratches n ive dropped it in the toilet n it still worked like new!

[TheKing294]

[bootystank10]

[richardmerkle]

i just bought one, its in the mail!

but they said there was no tv feature, but it says mobile tv at 9:43

[lrm130]

Is there any way to erase words that accidentally get programmed while using T9? Every time I try to write "me" or "of" it automatically goes to "od" first... and if I write "not" it auto spells "on't"... its so annoying. :( if anyone can help me, thank you in advance!!

[Brandonrulz156]

[wolfkittens]

@Brandonrulz156 haha same here! :D

[lilm3n4c3]

[cardcrash2444]

[iphone3gwiz]

i was wondering if anyone has had any problem with the lock button getting stuck or not working

[ReviewsandShtuff]

Is there a monthly charge for internet on it? (Stupid Question, I know)

[AS3B4H]

@ReviewsandShtuff yes, you just pay for the 3G (if you diidn't before) its like 20 bucks only.

[1996gamo]

can you change the lock screen if so how?

[TehObamaLazor]

[mortalcomsik]

@TehObamaLazor Same, lqtm.

[oliveandtina]

[luvya325]

wat is the diffrence between the referbished nd the new one plz reply baq i need to know(solstice)............and does the new one have a SIM card included

[itsmarissalol]

@luvya325 refurbished means that the phone was broken but then they repaired it. there's no difference.

[Roncliffton]

When you click the "widgets" i think you called them, do you have to drag them out to the screen before opening them or can you click on them from the sidebar and open them, also on the dice tumbler can you choose the number of dice that are rolled or is it only 2?

[rtotheandom2]

great video but one mistake the solstice does support mobi tv when you went into the apps it was right there but again great video

[shAde934xBOx4LIFe]

good typing, not allowed to change the lock screen saver, VERY tough, i ran mine over and still working fine, very comfortable fone to hold, doesnt provide gmail :( If you look at 2 17 in the video the cover for the charger VERY EASILY BROKEN, takes good videos, i love the birthday reminders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kodrabr12]

Solstice rules my world!

[crappiefever]

how do u set ringtones for messaging tones on here? or can you?

[oddangel5]

[darkelite6667]

Good phone,BUT IT DOESNT FUCKING SUPPORT GMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sneakers1231]

I just ordered this phone and it should be here tomorrow. from what i've heard it's great. it's almost exactly the same and the eternity only this one doesn't slide.

[bujoogers]

[bcallfree]

[nintendosonygeek7090]

yeah its a virtual qwerty bord i hav this phone

[Jessicanana89]

Doesn't this have a key board? Would have been nice to see your review on that.

[senadmusic]

BEFORE YOU GET THIS PHONE. Check out the samsung mythic. Much better. More Screen sliding like iPhone, Texts look better, Turn to side or regular text, And more apps. Samsung Mythic is better !

[nintendosonygeek7090]

the mythic sucks my gma has it its horibal the screen barley responds!

[MeBeSomeone]

I'm getting this phone next Saturday, I Can't Wait!
