According to an announcement today by Samsung and AT&T, the Samsung Solstice will be added to the carrier's lineup on August 2.

The touchscreen phone ? which runs the TouchWiz user interface ? is geared for users who don't necessarily need a pricey, full-blown smartphone, but want fast access to social networking features, messaging and multimedia.



The handset features a 3? haptic touchscreen, accelerometer, landscape soft (onscreen) QWERTY keyboard, quad-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band 850/1900 3G radios, 2 MP camera with vid recording, Bluetooth, microSD slot (for up to 16GB), MP3 player, and video and audio streaming.

The price is $150 ($100 with MIR, which arrives as a $50 promotion card) and requires a 2-year contract and messaging/data plan of at least $20. The Samsung Solstice will be available Aug. 2 at AT&T stores or online. For more, hit up this link.
