The blurry pictured Samsung Memoir mentioned in a previous article is now official, as it has just passed through FCC and some pieces of information have finally been released. The details sort things out, since the last time this device was mentioned, there was no guarantee it even existed.

Codenamed Memoir or Leica, it is seen as T-Mobile's version of the M8800 or the Pixon, not only because it packs the same 8 Megapixel camera as the others, but mostly because it will be running on the 1700 MHz HSDPA connectivity network, which can only be adhered to T-Mobile. In addition, this Quadband GSM/EDGE phone will also be featuring the flash and autofocus capabilities, as confirmed, on top of the camera.

Other than the Bluetooth 2.0 support, the MP3 player, touchscreen display and the A-GPS support, there isn't any useful piece of information left regarding the T929. Not even the Wi-Fi capabilities have been confirmed, but since it is said to replace the Pixon, it's safe to assume that it is going to pack plenty more features.

As the news unveiled today is mostly related to the U.S., then you should be aware that the Pixon, which has seemingly been approved by the FCC, is also going to reach the respective market. Such a conclusion was drawn from the fact that the Pixon has been said to be working on the 850/1900 MHz HSDPA connectivity network, thus reveling that AT&T is going to be its network operator.

The flow of information stops here, now rumors becoming the main “course” - rumors that are claiming the T929 is set to be launched sometime in February 2009. The pricing availabilities are far from being released for the moment, but should you be interested anyway, keep an eye out for details regarding this handset.
