Taking on a very similar form factor to the Highlight, AT&T officially announced the impending arrival of the Samsung Solstice. It’s for the most part your garden variety touchscreen phone with a 3-inch display, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and haptic feedback. Unlike the Highlight, though, the Solstice includes 3G connectivity but lacks a lower rez 2 megapixel camera. Memory comes by way of microSD card slot and I’d expect the usual other amenties such as a music player and Bluetooth.
You can expect the Solstice at AT&T on August 2nd for $100.

LG had a fumble today when they accidentally posted early pics of the yet to be announced LG Viewty II. Also leaked was the phone’s alternate name, the LG Viewty Smart GC900 as well as its features set, which includes a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen, S class 3D interface, 8 megapixel camera with geotagging and Xenon flash, microSD card slot, built-in WiFi, a-GPS and accelerometer. Yup, all this and it’s just 12.4mm thick.
Sorry, no word on an official release date, but since LG’s blog posted then removed the info hours later, it’s probably safe to say we’ll see it in the next few days if not weeks.
