| Bottom line | The Samsung Solstice II is a solid midrange touch-screen feature phone that offers good value if you can look past a few inconveniences and variable call quality. | The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best. | The Samsung Eternity succeeds as a multimedia device, but without Wi-Fi and full e-mail support, it stops well short of being a business-friendly device. | The Samsung Mythic is an admirable multimedia phone with the added bonus of AT&T Mobile TV. | With a dated design and average performance, the Samsung Eternity II doesn't give us reasons to buy it over the original Eternity. |
