There's no shortage of AT&T quick messaging phones, but relatively few of them boast touch screens. The compact (almost too compact) Samsung Solstice II has a 3-inch touch-screen display, just like its predecessor, the Samsung Solstice. While it does get some touch-ups, the Solstice II adds very little and even does away with a small feature.

Be sure to read all about it in our full hand's-on review of the Samsung Solstice II for AT&T.
