I liked Samsung Solstice’s contacts list, which presented our friends as a fanned-out deck of cards we could swipe through. It didn’t respond to my touch as quickly as other apps on the phone, but it was more graphically intense. The Solstice also gets speaker-independent voice dialing, and Samsung includes a TouchWiz widget to add a voice dialing button to your homescreen. Finally, the phone is one of AT&T’s growing number of video share phones, so you can connect a 1-way video conference with the Samsung Solstice.
Overall, I like the phone, if you own one, share your experience at http://www.samsung-solstice.com
I just got my solstice and my contact list does not fan out like a deck of cards like that. it’s just a simple scroll down list. i can’t figure it out. please help. thank you.
oh nevermind, i figured it out. i just don’t like it now, sucks.
Hey…My name is Chris and I recently bought a Samsung Solstice and so far so good….I’ve owned WM devices for a few years now and the one thing I really am annoyed at with the Solstice is the AT&T application lock. Alot of my favorite Windows Mobile apps will not install. I’m looking forward to learning and contributing in our quest to customize and use these new devices by Samsung….looking to share a lot of good tricks at http://www.Samsung-Solstice.com ..Thanks.
can i actually get pictures to show up on the “deck of cards” scrolling widget, or am i just limited to names and numbers. it appears that i can put a picture in, but i cant figure out how to do it. any help would be greatly apprectiated.
