Android-powered Huawei U8220 Pulse passes FCC with AT&T 3G bands

We’ve already seen the Huawei U8220 Pulse passing the FCC hurdle with T-Mobile USA-ready frequencies, and now we have the same/similar device taking the same route, this time sporting the ready-for-AT&T 3G bands. That’s 850 and 1900 MHz baby, meaning Huawei’s Android-powered smartphone could end up in AT&T’s (and Canada’s Rogers Wireless for that matter) portfolio just in time for the upcoming Christmas season. This is not to say we have any inside info — quite the contrary — it’s only to emphasize that’s an option, a viable one, if I might add.

Of course, I wouldn’t expect to see AT&T calling the U8220 – Pulse, as it’s T-Mobile’s brand, and that’s not the point here. The point is to have another major U.S. carrier embracing Android! ;)

As soon as we hear something new, we’ll let you know. Stay tuned…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
