I just purchased a ringtone from ATT media center for my Solstice. How do I make it my active ringtone? I can't seem to find it in the list of ringtones. The only indication that I have it is only in the message and browser portion. This whole touch screen thing seems much more complicated than hitting a few number buttons.
Can anyone clue me in? Thanks in advance--SL

Kevin, 25 Aug 2009I don't know where you're from, but this was released in Au... moreAbout the Mac trashing, I have this phone working flawlessly with my MacBook. Contact syncing (some minor work to do in a isync file), BT file transfer both ways, and finally, wireless tethering over Bluetooth all on the same phone. This is the second Samsung phone I've had over many years and I am surprised at it's features nearly every time. The only gripe I have is the lack of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack as the speaker is awful.

Howard , 04 Oct 2009I have just purchased a solstice New from AT&T I think the ... moreSam's Club is giving away the phone for FREE . I think ATT is now offering it for free. Go back to them if you are still within the 1st 30 days of purchase and ask for the free offer and get your money back. Also if you're a long time subscriber to ATT ,call #611 and ask them if they'll wave the activation fee!

i had this phone for about a month now and its a good phone. touchscreen is excellent. i bought the jet s8003, the touchscreen is awful. most of the time, i need to touch the key twice or press it really hard for a character to register. so now i switch back with this phone. the touchscreen is very great! the keys work everytime even just a very light touch.

i have this phone and it is SUPER LIGHT its definetly one of the smallest phones out there. the 3g is really fast and web browsing is super easy with the snappy touchscreen. i would compare the touchscreen to an iphone you barely have to tap it its great. one thing i dont like is java i really wish it was win mo but otherwise its a great phone and ive had all 3 generations of iphones so you can trust me when i say its got a good touchscreen.

I thought the first one was just defective, so I traded it for another, but the second one is no better. I can knock the bars down to none just by cupping it in my hands. I think I'll prolly trade it in. A shame because I really do like the phone...just not as a phone!

This phone is terrible. My old phone got full bars in my apartment. This one usually gets 3. I hear a constant white noise/ static sound. People also complain that I sound like I'm cutting out when I have full service showing. I have already been back to the store twice. First a new sim card. And then a new phone. Didn't help one bit. This phone is not worth the $99 I paid for it. As soon as I figure out what phone to exchange this one for, it's going back.

Saw it in ATT store yesterday, looks awesome and feels great. But it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack!

I don't know where you're from, but this was released in August in the US. I live in California.
Anyways, this phone is definitely not as bad as people say. It's pretty decent seeing how it's $100 w/ ATT-upgrade.
Pros: The accelerometer (roation/shake/roll)and touch feature is nice and clean. The OS is nice and clean and not super cluttered. The screen resolution/color is better than most phones out there with the same price tag. Voice Activation is accurate 80-90% of the time. Battery life isn't too shabby. Very ergonomic in my opinion and is very sleek compared to others. The touch-QWERTY keyboard is pretty big on screen so it's fairly accurate. All the symbols are one touch away so no worries. The camera is EXCELLENT quality might i add (compared to similar range phones). Overall, the hardware is pretty good.
Cons: The miniSD card slot is located under the simcard (no manual included btw for those that need it). The customization is very limited for the widgets and home screen. The speaker SUCKS.
Overall, this is a very ergonomic phone. Try it out in person for the widget issues and see the camera for yourself. This phone is nothing fancy but it's very suited for the basic everyday use. Wouldn't recommend it for business use though (go Blackberry). Also, for previous Samsung users, the menu is pretty much the same.
PS: Buddy, you're using a MAC. Does compatibility issues ring a bell? Check Apple and Samsung site for possible drivers. I'll admit a personal vendetta against MAC's. But from a non bias position, No Mac user should be w/o a PC.
PSS: For those looking for iPhone alternatives, the Solstice still doesn't quite match up. But having saved the extra $30/month, this is a good alternative.
