The vi that comes with Solaris 10 is the standard, generic vi from Bill Joy (the author, I believe). There is nothing Solaris-specific that I know of, and that's comparing it to the vi from FreeBSD as well.
You are correct about Linux; the distros/versions I've looked at all linked the vi command to vim. It was actually a source of frustration to me, as vim does not behave like vi.
