Samsung sure seems to be padding AT&T's roster of messaging phones.

After announcing the eco-friendly Evergreen earlier this week, Samsung today unveils the Solstice II. Sold for just $29.99 on contract--just like the Evergreen--the Solstice II has a 3-inch touch-screen display that supports a 240x400-pixel resolution with 65,000 colors and features the Samsung TouchWiz 2.0 interface.

Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, 16GB expandable memory slot, and Vlingo voice commands. In addition, you'll see apps like AT&T Navigator, AT&T Music and Radio, and MobiTV.

The Solstice II updates Samsung's original Solstice and will start showing up on shelves November 7.
