Samsung and T-Mobile announced the availability of the Samsung Memoir,
a full touchscreen mobile phone with an 8-megapixel camera

The Memoir, available
exclusively from T-Mobile, is designed to look and feel like a
point-and-shoot digital camera. The built-in
8-megapixel camera has a Xenon flash, 16x digital zoom and five shooting
modes and video.
The Samsung Memoir uses Samsung's TouchWiz user interface and T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network. Samsung's new photo widget allows customers to

vibrant brilliance,” said Denny Marie Post, chief marketing officer,
T-Mobile USA. “With the ability to share photos at your fingertips, the
Memoir helps make those connections more meaningful by their immediacy.”

Memoir’s full-touch virtual QWERTY keypad and multiple messaging
capabilities, including text, multimedia messaging, instant messaging
and e-mail, make staying connected quick and easy while on the go. The
Memoir is complete with a music and video player and built-in Assisted
GPS navigation, which allows customers to utilize location-based
services including turn-by-turn directions. For hands-free use, the
Memoir features stereo Bluetooth technology, speakerphone and
voice-activated dialing.
“This is the camera phone that will
make people want to leave their digital camera at home,” said Bill
Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Mobile. “When you combine the
