AT&T releases an upscale Solstice with MediaFLO TV in tow. Is Mobile TV making a magical comeback? Find out in our hands-on look at the Samsung Mythic.

The Samsung Mythic on AT&T has a much more shapely and classy feel than the decidedly mid-range Samsung Solstice that we reviewed this summer. It’s also got a tweaked feature set and a more polished version of Samsung’s TouchWiz interface on board. We’ve been hard on TouchWiz phones in the past, most recently lamenting the interface on the Samsung Behold II and the Samsung Omnia 2, both smartphones, of the Google Android and Windows Mobile variety, respectively. It does offer a lot of improvements for not-so-smartphone feature phones though. If you don’t want a deep, complicated system and would rather just focus on a few solid, basic features, the Samsung Mythic is actually a quite likeable touchscreen phone, though it’s still got some issues.

Aaron from Phonedog.com gets his hands on the Samsung Mythic, available at AT&T. Is it just another touchscreen feature phone, or is it worthy of separation from the pack? We’ll find out.

Samsung will launch their two new phones namely Samsung Mythic and Flight. Both the phones will be available on November 8th under AT&T. As usual, these touch screen handsets are TouchWiz-based.

So the following is their specs list:

Samsung Flight

2 Mpx Camera
A2DP Stereo Bluetooth
Dimensions: 4.17? x 2.2? x 0.5?
Weight: 4.8 oz

Samsung Mythic:

TouchWiz core (it is not TouchWiz on top of WinMo/Android. It’s just TouchWiz)
3.3? touchscreen
3.2 Mpx camera
SMS/MMS
AT&T Nav (subscription required)
4.49? x 2.06? x .5?
A2DP Stereo Bluetooth
Dimensions: 4.49? x 2.06? x .5?
Weight: 3.8 oz

Some people may think that those handsets seem to be overpriced than their rivals. Mythic and Flight has the price tag of $199 and $99 respectively.
