BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 with AT&T 3G is at the FCC
The BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981, RIM’s fancy looking BlackBerry smartphone made in co-operation with Porsche, has been caught at the FCC where government employed engineers are testing its radiation levels, making sure the device is safe to be used by the general public. At the same time, I’m sure some of them are comparing their cheap-lookin’ BlackBerrys with this model, which let’s face it does look expensive. And expensive it is, with some reports suggesting RIM may ask up to $2,000 for the unlocked BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 (though with … Read more

AT&T says FCC didn’t give it fair look in T-Mobile deal [Update]
AT&T has just posted a scathing response to the FCC’s report on its proposed T-Mobile acquisition and said the government agency’s analysis was “one-sided” and sounded more like an “advocacy piece” than a fair-minded analysis. Yowza, this kitty has claws. AT&T has been trying to purchase T-Mobile for about $36 billion and it says the deal is needed to give it the spectrum it needs to role out 4G LTE across the country and that the deal will lead to improved coverage and more rural support. The Department of Justice … Read more

T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Curve 9380 is at the FCC
So you want the brand new BlackBerry Curve 9380 along with a T-Mobile contract? You’ll be glad to know that such version of the device (with support for WCDMA band IV) has been caught at the FCC, where the government-paid engineers are testing its radiation levels, making sure the smartphone is safe to be used by the general public. We can’t tell you much more than that – you know the specs and how the device feels in hand from our official Curve 9380 review. If you still haven’t checked … Read more

AT&T getting ready to pay $4 billion to T-Mobile due to fears that their merger will not be approved
When AT&T announced their intent to buy T-Mobile in March of this year, we freaked out. The United States needs more competition in the wireless space, not less. Everyone started complaining about the deal, with Sprint being incredibly vocal about the consequences of the government approving the deal. Earlier this week FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said he doesn’t think the merger will be of any benefit to the American people. He wants to give both companies an opportunity to tell the FCC why they think he’s wrong however, though the … Read more

Sprint’s ZTE V55 tablet caught at Bluetooth SIG
Remember that mysterious Sprint-slated ZTE V55 tablet we’ve seen in October? Well aside from FCC’s seal of approval, it also got certification from the Bluetooth SIG from where we managed to get the image above. Aside from that, we also know it’s a “CDMA tablet with Bluetooth wireless technology” which is everything but revealing statement. However, earlier we learned this baby may get its power from a quad-core processor, and in that sense we’re looking forward to play with it at either CES in Las Vegas or Mobile World Congress … Read more

Samsung Omnia W with North American 3G clears the FCC; Launching in Canada?
Samsung Omnia W (model GT-I8350T) with support for WCDMA and HSPA over the 850MHz spectrum has been caught while getting FCC’s seal of approval. If there were no for the Samsung Focus Flash, we would tell you this baby is heading to AT&T. However, we can’t do that given the similarities between the two devices — i.e. they are pretty much identical. Hence, our next bet has something to do with Canada, where we think Bell or Rogers could pick this one up and offer it to their customers. Needless … Read more

Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Verizon LTE gets FCC approval
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is making an appearance, but sadly, it’s only via an FCC filing. According to the FCC filing, the long awaited Nexus phone will carry Verizon’s LTE service. The phone includes Verizon’s 700MHz spectrum and EVDO / CDMA, as well as the really cool NFC. This is great news because all regulatory issues are out of the way, and now we just await an official launch date. Rumors are all over the place on when this device will actually release, some have said this week or all the … Read more

Motorola Lapdock 500 clears the FCC
Presuming you like Motorola’s original Lapdock 100, you may love its bigger brother – Lapdock 500, which comes with a 14-inch screen and which has just cleared the FCC process, making it ready to be sold on the U.S. soil. Not sure that really makes you more mobile, but hey – if you want a big-screen experience that gets its power from a smartphone, something’s gotta give. Aside from the mentioned 14-inch screen, this particular Lapdock also sports ethernet port, VGA out, front-facing camera, full 6-row keyboard, 3.5mm headset hack … Read more

Acer Iconia Tab A200 gets FCC’s seal of approval, we still don’t know how it looks
Working at the FCC must be one of the best government-paid jobs in the U.S. The reason is simple – you get to play with the latest gadgets before anyone else. Take Asus’ Iconia Tab A200 for instance. It has recently got FCC’s seal of approval and since the Taiwanese company asked for confidentiality, and unlike some lucky FCC engineer who tested the tablet, we’ve no idea how it looks like. We would guess it’s another 7-incher, since the A100 has such a screen (7-inch). However, from its dimensions, we … Read more

LG Prada K2 P940 Android smartphone is at the FCC
We’re hoping LG is finally gearing toward the launch of its Android-based Prada K2 P940 smartphone, which we’ve already seen “in the wild” before. The device is now at the FCC, where the government employed engeneers are testing its radiation levels and whether or not it fits nicely with their Prada boots. Presuming it gets clearance on both fronts, the Korean company will be ready to introduce its beautful smartphone on the U.S. soil and we’re hoping that will happen sooner rather than later. After all, LG does want to … Read more

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime hits the FCC
ASUS’ super-sexy Eee Pad Transformer Prime is at the FCC where the government employed engineers are having good time with it before the rest of us can even touch it. Yeah I know, they only test the device’s radiation levels making sure it’s safe to be used by the general public, but then again – I’m pretty confident they’re tempted to try it out. After all, it’s by far the sexiest Android tablet we’ve seen to date. Unfortunately, the FCC filing doesn’t tell us much we don’t know. There are … Read more
