AT&T Wireless today announced a new touch screen phone from Samsung called Samsung Solstice (also known as Samsung SGH-A887). The Solstice phone runs on Samsung TouchWiz 3.0 interface, featuring virtual-landscape keyboard, widgets, and one-touch access to frequently used applications and social. The Solstice has built-in accelerometer that will automatically detect motion and the orientation of the device allowing for the use of richer applications and features, including autorotation of the display, motion sensing games and photo scrolling by tilting the device.

Besides that, this Samsung phone also has a 2-MP digital camera, MP3 player, Stereo Bluetooth, Video Player, and Streaming Video support. It will support AT&T 3G services, AT&T Navigator and AT&T Mobile Music with Napster Mobile® and eMusicTM Mobile.

“AT&T customers will be thrilled with the Samsung Solstice’s improved full touch functionality,” said Mike Woodward, vice president, Mobile Phone Portfolio, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “The widget bar functionality makes this device an easy to use passport to customers’ favorite applications.”

The phone will be available for AT&T customers on August 2nd 2009.
