Samsung A817 Solstice II - User Reviews

  • this handset is comptibal to use the skype....

  • it does not support skype at all... it is a really crappy phone

  • i agree this phone is a piece of crap my grandfather,grandmother,and aunt have it through at&t and they hate it it shuts down on its own and deletes and changes contact info. As of now at&t has stopped giving this phone out thank goodness

  • the screen is not a resistive screen it is a capacitive screen

  • Is this phone support Skype?

  • I had this phone and I really liked it. It took great pictures and never had shutdown problems like the one metion on a previous post. Maybe he got a lemon. Mine was a great phone to have, until I lost it :(

  • it says it doesn't have a radio but it has a radio

  • This phone is certified Junk.Does make a good hammer or paper weight however.Had this phone for 8 months and it will shut down at will takes poor pictures which you cant send and battery runs down in 6 hours even thou your not useing it.It does have one thing thats good sometimes.It will hang up automatically and shut down when it feels like it.Usually happens with people who wont talking anyway or calls at thw wrong time.You have to hit the call button several times to make it call.Sometimes you have to hit unlock several times to get it to unlock and usually by then they have went to voicemail or hungup.Does this 90 percent of time.Will NEVER buy SAMSUCK again.

  • Can you syn window outlook with this phone, thanks!

  • anyone having an error message that says "Blocking the fence"? what does it mean?

  • I think this phone just runs with Touch Wiz UI
