Yesterday, Samsung Mobile USA and AT&T have announced the Samsung Solstice A887, a phone that we saw just a few days ago. It comes to AT&T’s lineup with a full 3.0 touch screen and provides a landscape virtual QWERTY keyboard, as well as Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface, which enables users to enjoy fast access to social networks like Facebook or MySpace through a series of widgets. In addition, the phone also comes with access to mobile broadband, along with support for AT&T Navigator, AT&T Mobile Music with Napster Mobile and eMusic Mobile.

The new mobile phone also comes with multiple messaging options, including Mobile Email, IM and MMS, and sports a 2.0 megapixel photo snapper with video recording, accelerometer, Bluetooth technology, a microSD memory card slot for up to 16GB of additional storage space, as well as dual-band 3G connectivity and quad-band GSM technology.

“Samsung is proud to launch the new Samsung Solstice, the next handset in our line-up of touch screen devices at AT&T,” said Omar Khan, senior vice president, Strategy and Product Management, Samsung Telecommunications America . “The sleek, compact Solstice brings a rich web browsing and instant access to your favorite social networking sites through widgets and Samsung’s innovative TouchWiz user experience.”

The Samsung Solstice will become available for acquisition on AT&T starting August 2, at a price tag of $99.99 upon the signing of a two-year service agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate in the form of an AT&T Promotion Card.
