Sony Ericsson T650 passes the FCC hurdle
Although it lacks the Uncle Sam endorsed 850Mhz radio, Sony Ericsson decided to push its 3.2 MP camera equipped T650 model through FCC’s filling.

At the recent SINOCES 2007 event in China, not that known company Hantel showcased its latest candybar-shaped TV-capable handset.
