Windows Phone 8-powered Samsung SCH-R860U clears FCC on its way to US Cellular?
Some time ago we’ve told you that US Cellular will join Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 ride and launch such smartphone at some point in the future. Apparently that could happen in the next few days or weeks with Samsung SCH-R860U getting FCC’s seal approval and effectively making the device ready to be sold on the U.S. soil. But how we know this phone is slated to hit US Cellular’s portfolio? We don’t have that information confirmed, only the hint of Japanese Blog of Mobile. Then again, we tend to believe … Read more

AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S4 clears the FCC
AT&T’s version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been caught while getting approval from the Federal Communications Commission. The device is now ready to be sold on the U.S. soil and pre-orders are set to begin today. The model FCC engineers got to play with has the proper LTE band 17 support and yes, we’re looking forward to get our review unit — the short time we’ve spent with Sammy’s flagship during the announcement in the New York City was clearly not enough.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, there are four potential candidates to replace … Read more

AT&T-compatible Sony Xperia ZL clears FCC
The Xperia ZL, you know that other flagship device from Sony, has just got the so-much-needed FCC’s seal of approval making it ready to be sold on the US soil. All of the “right” bands are there, including LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17, along with HSPA over 1900, 1700 and 850MHz frequencies — which is a perfect match for AT&T’s network. That, however, doesn’t mean this bad boy will ever make it to the carrier — in fact, we’ve seen it popping up at Sony Mobile USA’s website … Read more

3G-enabled Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 hits the FCC but that’s not the version you want
Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy Note 8.0 has been caught at the FCC but unfortunately, this isn’t the version you’ll want to buy. The reason is simple – it’s neither a Wi-Fi only model (for those who don’t want another carrier contract) nor a 4G LTE-enabled one. Rather, it’s stuck to 3G speeds which may be good for some folks whereas some others will find them insufficient. That said, we’re hoping that a full-blown LTE version will soon follow footsteps of its 3G cousin and get’s FCC’s seal of approval only … Read more
