Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) and T-Mobile USA, Inc., today announced the upcoming availability of the Samsung Memoir™, a full touch-screen mobile phone equipped with an 8-megapixel camera and premium multimedia features, placing it among the highest quality imaging phones available in the U.S.
The Memoir, available exclusively from T-Mobile, is designed to look and feel like a customer’s current point-and-shoot digital camera. The built-in 8-megapixel camera with Xenon flash, 16x digital zoom and five shooting modes empower customers to capture exceptional photos and videos from their phone — whether they’re on the go, on a vacation or just hanging out around the house.
The touch-screen phone, enabled by Samsung’s TouchWiz™ user interface and powered by T-Mobile’s high-speed 3G network, makes sharing photos easy. Samsung’s new photo widget allows customers to post images taken with the Memoir directly to their favorite online photo sharing source, such as flickr®, Kodak® Gallery, Photobucket and Snapfish.
“With the 8-megapixel Samsung Memoir, T-Mobile customers can capture and share little slices of life in all their vibrant brilliance,” said Denny Marie Post, chief marketing officer, T-Mobile USA. “With the ability to share photos at your fingertips, the Memoir helps make those connections more meaningful by their immediacy.”

With more than one million votes cast, Samsung and the NFL have announced the winner of this year’s fan Super Ad contest. Reginald Castilla, from Ridgeland, Miss., will have his story turned into a commercial that will air during the Super Bowl XLIII pregame show on Feb. 1, 2009, on NBC.
Castilla, a life-long Dallas Cowboys fan, told his story of “That’s How I See It” at a Best Buy in Alexandria, Va., while in town for a conference. Castilla told the story of how he would sneak a black and white portable TV into his dad’s car every Sunday morning before church so he could watch the Cowboys play.
He was speechless when he got the call from the NFL notifying him as the winner. When he told his father of the victory, his father, a former deacon, told him, “I don’t know if I should whip you or congratulate you!”
“This has been an awesome experience,” said Castilla, 43, a football player in high school and college. “I am so grateful that my story was selected and am looking forward to the trip to Tampa with my wife, Christine.”
Castilla’s story was one of 48 that were posted online to be voted upon from the more than 400 stories that were pitched by NFL fans across the country. Following the first round, nine videos were chosen as finalists. All the stories represented fans and teams across the league and all exhibited the passion that NFL fans have for the game and their teams.
The winning story was determined through a combination of online fan votes and a panel of judges from the NFL and Samsung, including the director of the commercial.
