The Xenium X530 just made it through the FCC gates in full style, leaving us a little more than curious about launch window and carrier support. Europe and Asia seem likely, but North America is currently up in the air. This sucker is packing one of those cool substrate screens we saw in the Nokia 7510, but definitely has the lead in looks. Aside from that, Stereo Bluetooth on an entry-level flip is a nice touch. Here are the full specs, for the curious:

• Support communications standards: GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz, EDGE
