One of the worst kept secrets in the mobile industry – the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play – has just been approved by the FCC. More specifically, the model in question is the CDMA version that will become available for Verizon. We got to play with the Play a little more during a Verizon shindig at…
There’s some good news for those of you rocking the AT&T Inspire 4G: it looks like AT&T has received FCC certification for the Android-powered device to get HSUPA for super-fast uploads. Look for this as a software update in the not-too-distant future. According to an FCC letter received by Engadget, the AT&T Inspire 4G will…
We were all a bit shocked by the news that AT&T wants to buy T-Mobile and reports suggest this won’t just be rubber-stamped by the FCC. An FCC spokesperson said that it would be a “steep climb” for the deal to go through, according to the Wall Street Journal. The deal would make AT&T the…
Good folks of FCC approved the LG P920, which as you may know is the other name for the Optimus 3D. However what makes this somewhat strange is the fact that the version of the device FCC got to play with is made for T-Mobile’s AWS (1700 MHz) network. The carrier, which is about to…
Despite the sing-song post title, what’s said above is true: the Samsung Infuse 4G has hit up the FCC, and hopefully we’ll see the hot handset hit AT&T’s shelves very soon.

According to the Wall Street Journal, House Republicans have also proposed cutting off the purse strings…
LG’s upcoming LTE-toting Android phone for Verizon, the Revolution, has just made its way to the FCC. The powerful handset is up to snuff to that of the HTC Thunderbolt, and maybe we’ll even see this device released before the supposed “first 4G LTE phone” for Big Red. LG has been on a roll lately…
We had seen a few pictures of a new version of the Motorola Droid X2 a couple of weeks ago, and it looks like it’s getting ready for prime time by going through FCC filing. The filing doesn’t reveal much, other than support for Wi-Fi 802.11n and EV-DO-flavoured 3G, suggesting a release on Verizon. There…
Guess who’s getting to play with the iPad 2 first? It’s the men and women of the Federal Communications Commission which always get to try the goods before the rest of us.
