US Cellular’s Moto “XFON” XT1055 caught at the FCC
Motorola did say it plans to make its upcoming XFON available on a number of carriers and in that sense we’ve already heard about few different variants of the device: Verizon will get the XT1060, XT1056 is coming to Sprint, and the XT1058 is heading to AT&T. A new version of the XFON, marked as XT1055, has been caught at the FCC and we tend to believe this one’s destined for US Cellular. Of course, we still have no idea when each of the carriers mentioned above will officially announce … Read more

Firefox OS-based Alcatel OneTouch Fire hits the FCC, as well
After the ZTE Open, we have Alcatel’s Firefox OS-based OneTouch Fire getting FCC’s seal of approval to be sold in the U.S. Yet again, this doesn’t mean any U.S. carrier will sell this phone and it just could be part of Mozilla’s efforts to make Firefox OS-powered devices available for developers in the country. Similarly to the ZTE Open, Alcatel’s baby is also a low-end smartphone with specs that include a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, 1GHz single-core processor, 256MB of RAM, HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, 3-megapixel camera on the back, and … Read more

President Obama Issues Order to Open Up Wireless Spectrum
President Obama issued an executive order today which will free up 500 MHz of Federal and non-federal spectrum over the next ten years, which will allow telecoms to expand their data networks and cover more Americans with 4G wireless broadband service. Although the spectrum shift will take place over the next decade or so, a White House Fact Sheet states that we could see 335 MHz of the spectrum re-purposed by the FCC in the next few years. “A combination of American entrepreneurship and innovation, private investment, and smart policy has … Read more

Firefox OS-based ZTE Open caught at the FCC
Firefox OS-based ZTE Open has been caught at the FCC with all the right frequencies to sing along AT&T’s 3G network. In addition, this unit also packs a 1GHz single-core processor, 3.5-inch HVGA screen, 3.2-megapixel camera on the back, 256MB of RAM, microSD card slot, Wi-Fi and a 1,200mAh battery. Now we doubt AT&T will launch the ZTE Open and this is likely a step Mozilla and ZTE needed to make so they can provide devices to their respective partners and app developers. In addition to ZTE, Alcatel also has … Read more

BlackBerry Q5 with AT&T-friendly 3G caught at the FCC
The new BlackBerry Q5 has been caught at the FCC while getting approved for the sale in the U.S. That said, while this particular model is ready to sing along AT&T’s 3G network (850 and 1900 MHz), we’re not sure it will actually be available with the carrier’s contract. Rather, this could be just a roaming application to make sure those travelling in the U.S. can freely use their Q5 on America’s wireless networks. Or… AT&T may actually offer this mid-end BlackBerry smartphone, even though we thought it’s destined for … Read more

Huawei Ascend P6-U06 gets FCC’s seal of approval
The soon-to-be-launched Huawei Ascend P6 has been caught at the FCC where the government-employed engineers gave it a thumbs up. Yup, this means it’s now ready to be sold on the U.S. soil though we’re not sure whether that will happen any time soon. We do know the unit that hit the Commission’s office is ready to sing along AT&T and T-Mobile due to its penta-band HSPA+ connectivity, but that doesn’t mean either of the two carrier made a pact with the Chinese company to offer the P6 to its … Read more

Is that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom at the FCC?
Looks like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom has cleared the FCC hurdle. We can’t be 100% sure about this but it is the same device (marked as SM-C101) which got Bluetooth certification three weeks ago (and we thought that’s Galaxy S4 Zoom). The FCC listing is unsurprisingly scarce on details, though it does spill details on quad-band GSM, AT&T compatible HSPA+ connectivity, NFC, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 LE. Unfortunately, LTE is not included here, hinting us that version will likely be unveiled at a later date (and yet again be … Read more

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with AT&T-compatible 3G and 4G radios clears the FCC
Lucky FCC employees get to play with all the latest gadgets before the rest of us get the chance to do so. The latest toy they got to test is the LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 that has AT&T written all over it. Yup, this model will sing along 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies when connecting to a 3G network, as well as LTE Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17 in the “4G mode.” Aside from the cellular radio, it’s the same device as the Wi-Fi-only model, boasting a 1.6GHz … Read more

Wi-Fi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 clears the FCC
Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy Tab 3 has been caught at the FCC as the company is preparing to start selling the tablet later this month. The unit government-paid engineers got to play with is a Wi-Fi only model that will only later be followed with 3G-enabled version. If you recall, the Galaxy Tab 3 is a low-to-mid range tablet with specs that include a 7-inch 1024×600 pixels screen, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 3-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, 8 or 16 GB of internal storage, and a memory card slot if … Read more

FCC Filing Shows T-Mobile Prepping Sony Xperia Z For Release
According to a new filing from the FCC, T-Mobile is planning on releasing the Sony Xperia Z on its network. We heard a rumor suggesting the device was making its way to T-Mobile last month, and the FCC filing nudges that rumor closer to reality. The FCC filing shows a version of the Xperia Z that will take advantage of T-Mobile’s HSPA+ and LTE network. Alongside the FCC filing are some photos of the device, which resemble pictures of the international version of the unit. The Xperia Z touts a 5.0 … Read more

Firefox OS-based Geeksphone Keon clears the FCC
Geeksphone Keon has cleared the FCC, allowing government-employed engineers to play with one of the first Firefox OS-based devices before the rest of the world. If you recall, this is an entry-level device, one that comes with a 3.5-inch HVGA screen and 1GHz single-core processor. Moreover, there’s 3G (HSPA) radio on board as well as 1,580mAh Li-ion battery. We doubt the Keon will be available in the U.S. through any carrier, but if you’re eager to join Firefox’s mobile revolution, you’ll be able to buy one of these from importers … Read more
