Memoir
The Samsung Memoir
Pros: The the Samsung Memoir looks like a camera with its sleek, slim design. We think it is awesome that you can directly share your photos on photo sites using the TouchWiz interface. We are also impressed by the quality of photos, as well as the entire feature set. Plus, it performs great.
Cons: It takes awhile to become acclimated to the Samsung Memoir's touch-screen, we aren't fan's of its web browser, and it doesn't have Wi-Fi. Users are limited to using only the TouchWiz widges that come with the system.
Bottom Line: The Samsung Memoir is a high-performance camera phone that lives up to its reputation.
In the U.S., the camera phones with the highest megapixel capability were, until recently, cameras such as 5-megapixel Motorola Zine ZN5. For those of us who wanted to work with something more powerful, we had to rely on European contacts to get us 8-megapixel unlocked cameras, such as the Samsung Innovate.
US $2.99
| DISCLAIMER |
But that is no longer the case now that T-Mobile USA has made the 8-megapixel Samsung Memoir available at the cost of $249.99, far more affordable than the $700 Innov8. The Memoir is now the highest-performance camera phone offered by a U.S. carrier, for now. Even when compared to a point-and-shoot camera, the photo quality and camera features of The Memoir can stand on their own. Features on The Memoir even include direct uploads to Flicker, Photobucket and other photo-sharing sites.
Naturally, the Memoir is first and foremost, a phone. Fully equipped with the TouchWiz interface (proprietary to Samsung), GPS, T-Mobile 3G network support, music player, full web browser, and more. Granted, at $249.99, it is a bit more expensive than some other U.S. camera phones, but the Memoir's superior features and design make this purchase worth it.
