Samsung Memoir hands-on
Is the world ready for consumer-class 8 megapixel cameraphones? That's a loaded question, but one way or another, T-Mobile's about to find out now that its SGH-T929 Memoir from Samsung is in the marketplace. With a full touchscreen and support for that elusive 1700MHz HSDPA, the handset packs some serious heat at the top end of the featurephone heap, and we've now had a chance to put it through its paces. Read on for video, pictures, and -- for the literate types out here -- even a few words about Samsung's mighty 3264 x 2448 worth of handset muscle.
Samsung Memoir officially brings 8 megapixels to T-Mobile
At some point, T-Mobile decided it wanted to play in the megapixel big leagues by rolling out the Motorola ZN5 and Samsung Behold, but why stop at a measly little 5 megapixels? The long-rumored t929 Memoir from Samsung has now been officially announced for T-Mobile USA's funky 3G bands, featuring a full touchscreen, TouchWiz user interface, integrated AGPS, full HTML browser, and -- of course -- that glorious 8 megapixel sensor with xenon flash. No word on pricing or availability just yet, but we're told we can expect it some time this month.%Gallery-43866%
Samsung Memoir emerges in T-Mobile documentation
It's all falling into place, wouldn't you agree? The Samsung Memoir, which has been rumored for a T-Mobile launch for nearly two months now, seems to be just under a month away from release... at least, if you believe the above pictured documentation is real. As the story goes, this here T-Mobile document was found perched on some suit's desk just begging to be shared, and sure enough, we're now looking at a February 25th launch date for the eight megapixel cameraphone that's evidently aimed at family focused photographers aged 30 to 45. In all honesty, that $299.99 price tag (after rebates and contract) seems a touch high to us, but definitely not outside the realm of feasibility. Hang tight, folks -- super blurry unboxing shots and the like are (probably) just around the bend.
Samsung SGH-T929 (Memoir) shuffles through FCC on its way to T-Mobile
Mr. Blurrycam delivers again. The not-at-all-clear shots we saw of a fabled Memoir last week look to be the real deal, as evidenced by the matching shape in the image above and whispers from a nearby gnome. The Samsung SGH-T929 -- which will still likely be sold under the aforementioned Memoir label -- is apparently making a beeline for T-Mobile, or at least that's the vibe we get when seeing a 1,700MHz HSDPA band mentioned. Reportedly, the handset is a "slightly different version of the Samsung Pixon," and it should pack an 8-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and aGPS when it arrives. Hold tight, T-Mob faithful -- it just can't be long now.[Via UnwiredView]
