Samsung’s newest cellphone, the Memoir, could easily be mistaken for a real camera. On one side is a full touch-screen, and on the other is an 8MP sensor, 16x digital zoom, and Xenon flash.

The touch-screen phone will run on T-movable’s 3G network. Above and further than the 8MP camera settings, it also has a full-touch virtual QWERTY keypad, a music and video player, built in GPS, and Bluetooth.
