Samsung Memoir finally available from T-Mobile
By Ilinca Nita on 26 Feb 09T-Mobile USA and Samsung have kept their promise regarding the release of Samsung Memoir, and now the 8 Megapixel camera phone is finally available for purchase across the US.
Coming as North America’s first 8MP handset, Samsung‘s Memoir T929 is a full-touchscreen phone that can be bought for $249 with a 2-yr T-Mo contract agreement. Or, for those who don’t need a new contract, the phone costs $499.
