Samsung Memoir (SGH-T929) Preview
Discontinued 5th February
2009
The Samsung Memoir (also called the SGH-T929)
is a handset aimed exclusively at the T-Mobile network
in the US. Right at the moment, there are frustratingly
few hard specifications for this device. Clearly, this
is a touchscreen phone with a wide display, plus an
8 megapixel camera with a Xenon flash. The rumours are
that this is a 1700 MHz UMTS (3G) device with GPS, but
we don't know this for sure.
We can tell you that it measures 106 x 54 x 14mm
and the Memoir weighs in at 125 grams. Maximum talktime
is about 8 hours (presumably on GSM), and standby time
is up to 9 days.
Broadly speaking, the Memoir appears to be a US take
on the Samsung
M8800 Pixon, although it is clearly cosmetically
different. It's clearly not a Windows Mobile device
like the Omnia.
We don't have any definite word on pricing or availability,
but the Memoir looks like it should be an effective
competitor to AT&T's iPhone.
